RTH SHORE SCOUTS IN TEST MOBILIZATION Boys of Every Community Respond to Impromptu Call for "Emergency Relief Work" Ne_~'t Monday ~and Tuesday, I WARNING TO· TAXPAYERS New Trier township tax valuations have been greatly increased, in many cases more than doubled. Many errors have been made. It is of the utmost importance for each taxpayer to secure his valuation at the office of the Board of Asieuors, Room 319, County building, im· mediately. Take your 1927 tax bill with you. Those who wish to file individual ob· .iections before the Board of As· senors must do so not later than Monday evening, February, 17. From the information available at this ti~e, even though New Trier township in general may be assessed o..n a basis of 37 percent of the fair cas~} ~arket value, it is felt that many other districts are being as· seued on a much lower basis. This point should not be forgotten in filing your objections. New Trier Citizens' Tax Committee.
