This plan would allemw the colléec- tors-,and assessors to handle the lo- cal tax books during the ent.ire twelve inonths of evcey year 'the%? serve. 1Iný thé. interests. of ecoliomy. and public convenience, local collectors should be created clothed with poWler to carry through the entire prote ss of the collection of ail taxes:and pýoper- ty assessinents, the association dé-' clares. Cail Assesimeut Failure It is generally agreed in the Sub- url)an area, it is pointed- ont, that the first,.assessnient that has heen, spread under the direct sulpervision of the county assessor's office has been a failure. It is also genieràilly agreed that at least one-third of the roll spread hias been erronieous. t was .- announced that a, tient,-fiv-e percent cut lad been nmade ini the. as- sessed valuations .throughout the country town.s but the presenit.assess- mnent bas biought to lighit.thousands of cases where the as.sessed' valua- tion %vas twenty percent higher thanl the previous asse-sseci valuationi. T~hé association believes. that the only vay a just assessinent of prop- ertv can be .effected is to l'ave a local mani acquainted with local property. valuations fix a fair value. on thei property. Want, Assessor Supreme This assessment .- should be final and subject onlly to equalhzation with éther sections of the cotiitry by the1 Board of Appeals, the association in- sists. It is proposed therefore to.re-1 uetegisate making the assessor supreme in assessmcnts of local prop- erties with the right to return b is rolîs direct to the Board of Appeals for adjustment and equalization.
