•essar THE LAKE SHORE NEWS FRIDAY. MARCH 23. 1923 __ f-w%" FAIL TO AGREE ON TAX PROBLEM To Appoint Expert to Make Revaluation The Wilmette Village board at it» regular session Tuesday evening of this week authorized the appointment of an expert "who would be agreeable to all taxing bodies in the village, to make a revaluation of Wilmette prop- erty. The action was in the interest of securing a basis for a possible re- duction of the rate in the village. At a meeting of representatives of taxing bodies in New Trier township. called last Friday by Village President Zipf, it was learned that the Village of Wilmette stood practically alone in its desire to effect a reduction of the tax rate. In almost every other in- stance the taxing bodies of the Jown- ship sought an increase, many to the extent of "as much as we can get.' At Friday's meeting the North Shore Real Estate Board of Suburban Chi- cago agreed to assume the duty of making a revaluation throughout the township, but this week word was re- ceived to the effect that organization had found it impossible to do the work. The Wilmette board, in its de- termination to secure a revaluation for the next four-year period, elected to have Ofe revaluation made without pert agreeable to all the other taxing bodies in the village has been secured and will proceed soon with the task. Friday's meeting was called with the permission of tax collector, Hoyt King, who spoke at the session. Anyone who wished to speak was invited to do so and some interesting discussions followed: F. W. Penfield, President of the Village of Glencoe, spoke first. President James C. Murray of Ken- ilworth, speaking next, declared that Kenilworth will not need any higher taxes to conduct the village during the coming year. â- â€"------ J. D. Pierce of the Village board of Winnetka made an interesting point in discussing property valuation. If the assessed valuation is high, he stated, then the taxing rate is low, and if the assessed valuation is low then taxing rate is high. Bonding power, not valuation, is the impor- tant factor, he declared, and the as- sessed valuation should not be low- ered, for an increase in bonding will be needed in Winnetka. He cited track depression, through traffic roads, and a new village hall as the reasons for this need. Mr. Gates of the high school board offered a suggestion to help the tax situation. One-eighth of the taxes levied (including cost of collection) is additional burden on those who pay. The taxes now levied will pay for the hij?h school, Mr. Gates declared. Other speakers were A. H. Howard of the Wilmette school board, Mrs. E F Snydacker of the Kenilworth Western Undertaking Co, FUNERAL DIRECTORS We Strive to Please Our constant desire when called is to render the most EFFICIENT and COMPLETE SERVICE and to supply FINE FUNERAL FURNISHINGS jdu4he^er^LOWES^COST^---------------------- LADY ATTENDANT No charge for distance H.
