Arthur MiIIson IThe Editor's Mail Dear Editor: 'I, with a lot of property owner. recently received notice, by post, .notifying us our assessment was raised for 1947. I asked the one who callcd on me what the in- formation required, was for anc he said it was for the purpose of census. It has since been. said that this man, like others, had been appointed ýby our town assessor to do this and counci] has been billed. for $90 for this extra help. Since my time in thi.i town we have had as assessors, Samuel Burden, Andrcw Whiting, Sam- uel Hill and Thomas Burden, who whcn appointed in February of cach year, proceedcd to cal on propcrty owncrs and lcft a paper s 'howing asscssment for the ycar, with notice if not satisfac- tory, appeal could be made to a committec of council. Since our present assessor has been appointed. year after year, I have not had an assessment form handed me, except the one, just received, following the cal of this extra paid mian. I am inclineci to think this is not ]egal unless those extra men werc appointed by council to do this work and. furthcrmore they should not be paid uniess 50 appointed. Our present assessor receives a salary for doing so. As far as I am concerned I do not intend to pay any attention to my notice under the circum- stances but will go to court be- fore I pay the raise. Believing the matter will be looked into by men who have qualified for council I therefore will cast my vote for Messrs. Joncs, James, Mason and Pat- terson. Yours Truly, Taxpayer.
