October 2'J, 1926 __ _ WI L M E T T E 'L r~ E ' - Z1 Harry l(ohl, Democratic Candidate for Member of the Board of Revi ew, is making a successful two-fisted campaign for election to ·that office. He is showing that loop property owners are being favored at the ex pense of small home -owners and renters. He charges that loop property is be ing assessed at a valuation of about 7% of its real Yalu e, whereas, the aAsessed valuation on the small home-owner is riO% of its actual value. In other words, th e thousands of small home-owners in Cook County have to carry the burden of an enormous incr ease in .tax E-s so that the favored loop interests may r ccP iYe great slasfu: s in their aHsess(~d valuation . Mr. Kohl contends that tllPre are a bout GOO,OOO famili(·s that should pay taxes in the City oC <";h!cago. Due to 10% being favored by th(' present tax assessing hody th e r emainder are obliged to pay f or th r "cuts" obtained by the favored few. He further holds that if the privileged class paid its just sharC' , a reduction of 10% of the taxes for · the small home-owners could be made at once. Mr. Kohl pledges, if elected, to see to it that the "little fellows" instead of the "loop interests" are accorded his proteotion. Th e Dt>mocratic Candidate for this r,fflce, Harry Kohl, Is married and has three children. H e beJi evel'! in his own home, a small c·nttage at 1838 N. Lowell avenue.
