This is to enable the Board to
have an unbiased vie# of the sit
uation and this, too, is an effort
to obtain that equality for tax
payers according to adjacent val
ues which seemed so lacking last
year At any rate every property
owner and every taxable item
owned by persons in the city
which is taxable must have a
tax paid on it; this year, and that
is the goal of the city Council
and Mayor Lanier.
Fairness and equality is the
motto of the Council the year and
they are ready to listen with an
open mind to any taxpayer who
feels that he is unjustly taxed
On the other hand they are
just as staunch in their stand that
taxes must be paid, and equally,
and (he first perrequisite is a fair
valuation and the assessor is the
person who will give them Che
basic valuation.
They intend to hack Mrs. Ling
to the limit and if ordinances
with “teeth" are needed she
shall have them.

Certain persons who have Peon

a new school for $50,000 which is
the pasitive limit of every cent
which can he collected from the
public under Ordinance No. 1 IK).

meetings and which figures ap

of the last: payment on the 1947

By earmarking the whole $50,

council was able to eleminate the
entire school budget from the city

$70,000 which is $10,000 less than
last year.
It will be noted that there was
an amount in excess of 26,000 in
