The Democratic leader said
he will follow the usual pro-

chairmen te review all legisla-

Jurisdictions and recommend
appropriate action. The de-

What do these figures repre-

This dollar value is lower than

the tax rate differences tend to
be offset by the differences in
assessment practices. VIII e
valuations are high, rates are
uaually low.
The Census Bureau report dis
closes that the total assessed val
ue of general property in the
United States subject to local
taxation is $3.50 billion. Farm
acreage and buildings add up to
nearly a fourth of the total.
This is after exempting pro-
perty owned by governmental,
educational, religious and chari-
table institutions.
The Importance of the general
property tax is indicated by the
fact that nearly 80 percent of
all tax revenue of local govern
ments comes from this source.
The yield is about SIP billion a
year, or $40 a person.

Survey Shows County Land Tax
Is Lower Per Capita than Most

For the first time since 1912,
a full-Scale survey of property
values has been make, covering
Geauga County and the other
counties in the United States.
1t was undertaken by the Bu-
reau of the Census in connec-
ton with its 1857 Census of Gov
ernmentS. There is now availab-
lie, as a result, data on the 81
million pieces of real estate list
ed on local tax rolls throughout
the country.
In Geauga County, it shows,
the assessed value of taxable
property the prior year was
$50 ,262 900. This was not its true
market value but rather the tax
base to which local tax rates
were applied. Generally, realty
is assessed, for tax purposes, at
less than actual value.
