The local assessor. under this i)roposal, would then note the percentage of reductions, if any, he feels should be made; the board would compute such reductions or changes and write them in ink into the books and then submit the books again to the local assessor for his inspection. The Board of Assessors, Mr. Harbaugh stated, contended that this \YOttld expedite the work and that they must have all of the county town field hooks in at one time. "It is interesting to note in this connection," Mr. Harbaugh continued, "that Evanston still has its books and that all prognostications point to their continuing to have them for several ·months. And the Evanston citizens are forming groups to make an organized nrotest against the multitude <)f inequalities found in the EYanston reassessment. "There arc mam· inaccuracies in the :\ew Trier re-assessment," Mr. Harbaugh further stated. "whole pages of the field books have been omitted, captions to descriptions have been asse. sed, lots have heen omitted, and buildings not accessible for 1928 have been entered. Figures Ignored? "And I have been informed." he declared. "that it makes no differen~e what figures I may place in the hooks. for the valuations prepared by the reassessment group wi11 be substituted for such figures and that this has al· reach· been clone on such of the county town books that have heen turned i:-t. "This being the case," Mr. Harbaugh concluded, "property owners should organize to protect their interests as the increased valuations will he startling, to sav the least."

In Indian Hill Estates Actually Nearer the Loop than Five or Six Blocks from the Northwestern Station in Evanston F.irst Homesteaders in Estates East Volunteer Their Experience by Letter* in Part as Follows ·'Occasionally we hear of folks who on first thought feel that the Estates are located a bit far out. \Vbat a n1istaken idea! With our very regular and reliable bus service we are actually nearer the loop in time and comfort than when we lived five or six blocks from the Northwestern Station in Evanston. Forty-five minutes after we leave the house in the morning we are at our desks. And from the standpoint of our children nothing could be finer than to ·know that regardless of the weather there need be no worries, no exposures, nor loitering along the way, always on time for school and back home again safe and sound in the school bus. "Our only regret is that we were not sold on the idea of coming back to "normalcy" in living-a long time ago. As First Homesteaders in Estates East-we arc happy, contented and proud of our heritage."
