40 a -------- ------ Daily Fee Course to Be Opened Saturday; Cost Over $850,000 A new daily fee course, the Subur- ban Golf club, will open Saturday. This, the only 36 hole championship type daily fee course in the Chicago district, is located in a rolling plot of land in Glenview, on Shermer avenue, one block north of Glenview road. Over $850,000 has been expended by the owners in building this course and making it better than 75 per cent of the private courses in the district. It is the only daily fee course in the United States which has creeping bent tees and greens; it is trapped to measurement, has natural water haz- ards on both courses, and a 36-hole practice putting green.

Cards are available at the course for those who wish the installation of bus service from the Glenaire station of the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Electric or the St. Paul depot in Glen- view.

Wil. 1040 SHOW INEQUALITIES IN TAX ASSESSMENTS Northwestern University Experts Make Survey of Chicago Realty Property Parcels of Chicago real estate at the [lend of 1926 were assessed for taxation at anywhere from less than 5% to more 100% of their sale value. This inequality in assessment is point- ed out in a report entitled "The Assessment of Real Estate for Taxa- tion in Chicago," published by the Institute for Research in Land Econ- than ||nomics and Public Utilities of North- [| western university. The report is the result of a study which the Institute has been conducting during the past year under the direction of Dr. H. D. Simpson of its staff. In the course of this: study 6105 properties which changed! hands dur- ing the last part of 1924' and during 1925 were examined. The total sales value of these properties in 1926 was $218,688,900. They were selected en- tirely at random, representing every township and district in Chicago. Two hundred eleven properties are in South Town, 167 in Rogers Park, 226 in North Town, 1145 in Hyde Park, 1672 in West Town, 894 in Jefferson, 761 in Lake .View, 882 in Lake and 147 in Calumet. Forty-nine districts also were represented; the Loop, Englewood, Kenwood, Lincoln Park, Hyde Park, Edgewater, Jackson Park, Austin, Lake View, Morgan Park Washington Heights, and so on. FEorf¥-five of these districts were represénted in the study by at least twelve praperties. Comparison of the prices for which these properties actually sold with their assessed values reveals the in- equalities of assessment. In 1926, 174 properties were assessed at from 0 to 5% of their sale value, the investigator discovered; 267 at from 6 to 10%; 457 20%; 927 at from 21 to 25%; 1003 at from 26 to 30%; 855 at from 31 to 35%; 594 at from 36 to 40%; 403 at from 41 to 45%; 252 at from 46 to 50% ; 139 at from 51 to 55%; 116 at from 56 to 60%; 73 at from 61 to 65%; 62 at from 66 to 70% ; 41 at from 71 to 75%; 35 at from 76 to 80%; 29 at from 81 to 85%: 21 at from 86 to 90%; 17 at from 91 to 95%; 12 at from 96 to 100%, and 13 were assessed at 101% or over. The average assessed value of the whole group of 6105 properties in 1926 was 31.3% of sale values, the report discloses. This figure can be taken as indicative of the general average for Chicago, the Institute states, as a num- ber of tests applied to these 6105 prop- erties prove that they are a represen- tative sample of all properties in Chi- cago. There is considerable divergence, ac- cording to the experts, in the assess- ments as between townships. In South Town the average, assessed value was 48.3% of sale value; in Rogers Park, 33.6%; in North Town, 33.1%; in Hyde Park, 30.3%; in West Town 300%; in Jefferson, 299%; in Lake View, 28.5%; in Lake, 28.5%; and in Calumet, 99%. The averages in six of the townships, represented by 5501 properties, are below the general av- erage of 31.3%, and the averages of three of the townships represented by 604 properties are above. In the 45 districts, each of which is represented in the study by at least 12 properties, the average for the district lowest assessed is 12.4% and for the dis- trict highest assessed 68%. The aver- ages of twenty-eight of the districts are below the general average of 31.1% and those of seventeen of the districts are above. ~+ from 11 to 15%: 614 at from 16 to TT, oS " a AB
