SAY ASSESSOR DID GOOD JOB Township Assessor Submttr Quadrennial Re-V*luation Of All Real Estate REPORT IS EQUITABLE Governing Bpdies to Check I Up on Reductions I - The Township Assessor has recently completed a most arduous task, that ox compiling the 1*23 quadrennial re-valu* tion of real estate for taxation purposes Tn£ Trier township,. Under the state law, every four years the assessed vahv, ation of real estate is revised by the ^drSnial re-valuation toâ- *££*£ tremendous task and ^f^SJ^J the full time services of an assessor tnc yar round. The Township Asses, lor is paid by .the authorities oi Cook County and it is not possible to secure ithe necessary funds to £rovide a full time assessor for the^ork..The Town Jshiojtherefore depends on the part time ie^icTof some public spirited citizen who is able and willing to give a por- tion of his time to thia worki-at^a veq nominal salary. The prese^^sessor is George R. Harbaugh, .of ^ilmette. Getting Data Real Task Before the assessor can make up _nit» .roll of assessed values for presentation to the County Board of Assessors, he must secure dependable data as to the real o£ cash value pi every If cereal estote in the township. Believing that the lassessment of real estate for taxat on is a most important duty and that the work should be thoroughly done the governing bodies of the several villages lave assisted the assessor hy employing local real estate experts to compile vata* ation of land and improvements for the t'use of the assessor in his work, lnese â€"i.*-4.i«-^ ""â- -" cuKi^tftgri to me town- i*M»^i.a»>(,Wl^s^-; â- *â- .â- â- â- \ J'Â¥:;'i^^|^W',ff#.t,-^'.v:uS'"lj â- â- ^Ki;#Si#flf| I* .: â- .. .......â- . .

The aim has been to Iprovider% fair and equitable basis which fwould* serve to equalize taxes on all Iproperty in the several villages. The tneed for equalization was niade apparent fby a study of the tax roll made last fyear which showed many serious ofnis- Jsions and a great variation in assessed lvalues between properties of similar lo- cation and market price. . , > It is believed, say -township officials, Ithat the 123 assessed values, as submit- ted to the Board of Assessors by Mr. fHarbaugh, are uniformly equitable arid hi-. left unchanged by the Board of As- sessors and the Board of Review, ex- cept where ma^^ errors have oc- ipaiTed^ will result in, fair tax bills -for 'PP'property owners in the township. The |$SSsessor, Mr. Harbaugh, is to be con- gratulated on the excellent work ^done Hy him m co-operation with the village 4park and school boards of Ne#prjer township, say members Of |he tfiang commission. v f'^::---^--"'- S Because of the fact that property Iffroes have greatly increased in the oast tpur years, the new assessed valuations fiust necessarily be higher afsoV Thi* does not mean that general tax^s „wjll IP correspondingly "increased if the scv-1 Wfcl local governments do not increase lllteir levies The result will be con- siiderable reduction in the total tax rate Oj^ich will largely^offset the increased â- jessed.. $a!kifoft0k&w.
