ABOUT TAXES. The most important office in this town of Deertield is that of assessor. ‘ lie and he alone, practically. deter‘i mines all our taxes, because he putsl the valuation on our real estate and il peraal property. No other officer. of the town has anything to do with i mm. 1 i your personal property or real estate av than the mayo ior city clerk has. land instead of their putting your that: the assessor does it all. ant hence he is entitled to the honor ofit it, all. and he will have to stand theI fault-finding. if there is any. following is the way it is )done. aslt any one knows: The assessor goes all about town and fixes the valuation on real estate. the acres and lots in al the town. Then he finds out how.t much and what kinds of persona property each family has. and many families of course have and pay tav- ‘ es on personal property that have up real estate. The assessor then pufs a valuation on -ach man's farm «fr; lot with or without its improve-i iiients. at about one»teiith its real: value. Thus if he puts in Jones“; farm at $77M), it means that the as-i sessor values .lones‘ farm and build- i iiigs at about $300“. or Smith‘s cityi lot and house at $31M) means that he‘ regards them worth iciooo as near; the The assessor ‘ can figure it: same as‘ as he to personal property. spends the months of May and June“ in making up his list for the town. Then the fourth Monday in the town supervisor. town clerk and listen to COlll‘: .l uiie.r asssessor meet and plaints of such persons as thilik theyi . l l have been assessed too high, or have not been assessed enough. These town officials spend the whole day. listening to these complaints and ad-: justing them so far as they can. Then the books go to the county? clerk in \Vaukegan. and at the July_ meeting of the supervisors they have: three committees on equalization, i on. on acre property. one on city lots and one on personal property. (Mr ussessor's work is turned over: to these three committees. as it 1"": longs to them; lint these committees‘ don't touch individualslikeJoncs 0!" Smith or Brown not at all. They; take the town footings only in bulk.t Thus the personal property commit-i tec takes the personal property as-i sessliieut of Decrfield and Shields and \Vaukcgan and the other towns and compares them and if they dc- cidelleertield's assessment is too high they cut it down in bulk tlici whole of it. or if they think it is too! low they raise it in bulk and ofi course their raising or lowering flit" assessment in bulk will *tfi‘ect all oft us pro rata.

ABOUT TAXES. The most important office in this town of Deertield is that of assessor. ‘ lie and he alone, practically. deter‘i mines all our taxes, because he putsl the valuation on our real estate and il peraal property. No other officer. of the town has anything to do with i mm. 1 i your personal property or real estate av than the mayo ior city clerk has. land instead of their putting your that: the assessor does it all. ant hence he is entitled to the honor ofit it, all. and he will have to stand theI fault-finding. if there is any. following is the way it is )done. aslt any one knows: The assessor goes all about town and fixes the valuation on real estate. the acres and lots in al the town. Then he finds out how.t much and what kinds of persona property each family has. and many families of course have and pay tav- ‘ es on personal property that have up real estate. The assessor then pufs a valuation on -ach man's farm «fr; lot with or without its improve-i iiients. at about one»teiith its real: value. Thus if he puts in Jones“; farm at $77M), it means that the as-i sessor values .lones‘ farm and build- i iiigs at about $300“. or Smith‘s cityi lot and house at $31M) means that he‘ regards them worth iciooo as near; the The assessor ‘ can figure it: same as‘ as he to personal property. spends the months of May and June“ in making up his list for the town. Then the fourth Monday in the town supervisor. town clerk and listen to COlll‘: .l uiie.r asssessor meet and plaints of such persons as thilik theyi . l l have been assessed too high, or have not been assessed enough. These town officials spend the whole day. listening to these complaints and ad-: justing them so far as they can. Then the books go to the county? clerk in \Vaukegan. and at the July_ meeting of the supervisors they have: three committees on equalization, i on. on acre property. one on city lots and one on personal property. (Mr ussessor's work is turned over: to these three committees. as it 1"": longs to them; lint these committees‘ don't touch individualslikeJoncs 0!" Smith or Brown not at all. They; take the town footings only in bulk.t Thus the personal property commit-i tec takes the personal property as-i sessliieut of Decrfield and Shields and \Vaukcgan and the other towns and compares them and if they dc- cidelleertield's assessment is too high they cut it down in bulk tlici whole of it. or if they think it is too! low they raise it in bulk and ofi course their raising or lowering flit" assessment in bulk will *tfi‘ect all oft us pro rata.
