THE PUBLIC FORUM IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PROPERTY OWNERS Editor, The Lake Shore News :â€" George R. Uarbaugh, Neir Trier township tax assessor, the following important information was obtained which every property owner should know: "This year, 1923, is the quadrenr nial re-valuation year, when all the property (real property) in the State will be revalued for the ensuing- four^ years, 1923 to 19^6 inclusive. The valuations fixed by the assessor this year will stand as the valuation upon which the property owner will pay taxes for the ensuing four years, un- less the physical character of the property is changed, i. e. re-modeling or destruction of the buildings, the land value once confirmed is not changed during the four year period. The assessor completes his work about June 1, 1923, and the books are then turned over to the Board of Review on the 3rd floor of the County Bldg., Chicago7-^who:-^t---|srdh^ar" complaints as to valuations of both land and per- sonal property, iboiit August. In order to learn how much- youV taxes- will be, it is necessary that you first fo to the Board of Assessors, also on the 3rd floor of the County BWgLChi- cagp, give -them the correct legal de- scription of your property, aind if you object to the valuation by the asses- sor, you must then go to the Board of Review and fill out a complaint bla^k~"aHd"leave1|r with the clerk. In due tinie you will receive a postal card advising you that the Board .of Re- view will hear your case on a certain day and hour at the hearing rooms in the County Bldg. The complaint blank will require that you state the valuation fixed by the assessor on the land and the building (separately), the amount of incumbrance if any, the amount of insurance carried, and the reason for the complaint. In order to present an intelligent reason you should, before asking for your val- uation from the Board of Assessors, select the properties in your neighbor- hood corresp^mdTng~to~y6ur own, 'find out the legal descriptions of those properties and ask for the valuations fail to file a sworn schedule; the as- sessor is required by law to estimate the value of your; personal property and then add fifty per cent of that valuation to his estimate as a penalty for your failure to file a,sworn sche- dule. Sometime in July, a printed list will be mailed to all persons who have been assessed, showing the valuation fixed by the assessor. You can then compare your valuation with your neighbors, and if dissatisfied, file your objection before the Board of Review as in cases of real property. If you fail to object to your valuation be- fore the Board of Review, the same is then confirmed, and you receive a tax bill the following spring showing the amount of your tax. After the tax bill is\ent out it is too late for you to object as the books cannot then be changed. The amount of your tax will vary during the four year period as the rates of" taxation are very sel- dom the same. The rates are made up each year according to the needs of the various taxing bodiesâ€"One year the State, County, Village, Schools and other taxing bodies may require a large budget, and another year their needs may be less. That is why in one year as an example, Wilmette's rate was $10.03 per $100.00 of valuation, and in another year $10.79 and another 8year $11.08. For 1922 the County, Forest Preserve, Sanitary District, Village and Schools were higher than in 1921. The rates are not arrived at until late in Dec- ember of each year. The tax* you pay in 1923 is for the year 1922. It is your duty as a good citizen to not only pay your just proportion of the cost of operating the government, but also to see that your neighbor does his share. There should be no special privileges. The man with a big house should pay more than the man with a small house, and the man with a lot of Turkish rugs, valuable pictures and an expensive car should pay more per- sonal tax than the man with a flivver and a moderate amount of household goods." PAUL A. HOFFMAN. CELEBRATIONS FOURTH Editor, The Lake Shore News, Dear Sir: Anyone of the student type should be interested in the psychology of our recent July 4th celebration. The Chicago Evening Post, in an editorial, refers to a certain suburb using placards, forbid- ding any kind of explosives. We would like to have the mystery explained. What is the mystic connection between such a wise ruling and the feverish at- tempts to break the law? Such mis- takes have _ a subtle influence on the «iaÂ¥at^ro?-1in1l^^ ordered impression in the minds of many people. To quote a paragraph from the Post, "Mothers and fathers who yield to youthful importunity and acquiesce in doing the thing which law forbids, are training the sort of citizenship, which in adult years, makes many a trouble Tor society;" It~is~ar poor kind of citi- zenship, and the poorest proof of devo- tion to. the country, whose natal day is thus made an opportunity for lawless- ness.".....-^..............-.....-..... Do we worship gunpowder because it relates to war, or is it only excitement we crave in this intense devotion to fireworks ? One of the gravest criticisms of our time is that we have so little reverence for obedience as a principle, so little willingness to obey, because it is right to obey. Loyal obedience brings a joy in the doing, for such an attitude ex- presses the finer side of character, and leads us easily and happily to a knowl- edge of our Higher Self. =A=is very much worth while to love the laws of life, the laws of nature and the laws of our communities. Very truly yours, m â€" -:- Alice^Vr^eadnellr" Editor, !.:;> : , ^ The Lake Shore News, Wilmette, 111. sDjcarr:,Sir-:.... You probably have heard from me be- fore in regard to the protection of song birds in our suburbs. I have succeeded in getting a pair 6F bluebirds to nest in my back yard, and just the other day the young ones flew from the nest. But, I cannot begin to tell of the time I spent in keeping off the sparrows until the bluebirds were finally settled. Cats were also continuously sneaking around There should be just as heavy a tax on cats as there is on dogs, both of which are a nuisance if not properly taken care of by the owners. Truly yours, V ^ ^11 â-  :-..:-E. Fred Lechler, -:M- -U-.'~ --------- ^KTFifth Street placed upon those properties as well - as your own/ Then if the valuations are unequal and you are chargetrTiioTe": than your neighbor whose property is similar to yours, you have a basis for an objection. Your personal property valuation is based upon the schedule vouiJle. Each person in the Town- ship owning personal property is sub- ject to pay a personal tax and should file a schedule. The assessor will try to deliver a schedule to every such person, but should he fail to do so, it istjrojir duty to see thai you obtain and file one. This schedule must be signed and sworn to, either before the deputy assessor or before a notary public, and returned to the local as- sessor or the deputy whose name is stamped on the schedule.
