TAX FACTS The 1957 General Assembly stiffened the responsibility of boards of review n the matter of equalizing assessed violations between taxing districts the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois has announced. For example, if assessments of property in one township of a county are made at full value, while in another tovvniner vacation were urged to en- j county, the same kind of property is assessed at a fractional percentage of its full value, it becomes the duty of their board of review, now in session, to adjust the assessed values in these two townships so that both reflect the average percentage of assessed to full value throughout the county. However, the board may not increase or^decrease eourage teenagers to go back to "jgchool. » Duane A. Wendele, regional director of the U.S. Labor department's wage and hour division, pointed out that many "teen-agers may be tempted to quit school and continue to work at their summertime jobs. Others may try to work « full shift, in addition to school. explained that youngsters may be lawfully hired for a Variety of jobs, but reminded employers who hire 'teenagers •his fall for full or part-time $ft>rk about the child - labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards act -- the Federal $Vage and Hour law. a* "Boys and girls 16 years of jfee and over can work under the Fair Labor Standards act ffc any job--factories, wholesale houses, communications or other industries--except those which have been declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor," Wendele said. Thirteen hazardous occupations orders have been issued Which prohibit the employment of minors under 18 years of age. The prohibited jobs include work as driver or a driver's helper, elevator operator, Operator of certain power-driven machinery, and most jobs in togging and sawmilling. - "Although the law prohibits the employment of children under 14, the 14 or 15-year-old may be lawfully employed in office and sales work, fruit and vegetable packing sheds, and Jn a few other jobs^-excluding Gyork in manufacturing, min- \ngr$rocessing or similar jobs," $Tendele added. _"It must be remembered, ©pwever, that certain restrictions apply during school hours lOr this age group. Youngsters of 14 and 15 may work only outside of school hours and a fnaximum of three hours on any school day.

The board is now required to report the result of its equalization process to the department of revenue within ten days after adjournment. Adjournment dates for boards depend uoon county population: Un to 50.000, Sept. 7th; from *0.000 to 75 000. Oct. 7th; from 75,000 to 100.000, Nov. 7th; and for counties over 100,000 population^ Dec. 7. In this, the quadrennial year for counties up to 100,000 population. the county board may not approve an extension of the adjournment date beyond thirty daysJ In counties over 100,000 population, the extension cannot exceed twenty days. From the summary in the assessor's book it is a simple task to list on a columnar .sheet the average assessed value of the various classes of personal property and of land per acre, by townships, for comparison each. with the other. Therefore, the principal objective of the board of review, particularly during this quadrennial year, is to eliminate in inequties or inequalties growing out of the different judgments as to values proposed by local assessors.
