WILMETTE WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, MAY 3, 1929 Declaring that in his opinion the procedure adopteq in making a revaluation of property in New Trier town ship is illegal, Township Assessor George R. Harbaugh informed mem bers of the Wilmette Optimist cluh that no date for payment of taxes can be indicated and that, once tax ·bills are received, they may come two at a time. No data concerning the present valuation prpcedure or probable date of payment ctn be obtained from the county authorities, '\1r. Harbaugh stated, since the town: hip assessor ha:; been completely ignored in the matter .and his repeated inquiries left un answered. According to law, Mr. Harbaugh pointed out) the rev?luation must be made by the local assessor and his as sistants who must be property owners in the township. The· present revalua tion is, however, entirely out of the. hands of the prescribed officials.
