List Contain s Errors I Park District Saves f Money-for Taxpayers Trhe 1934 tax Ievy of the \Vil- mette Park district was adopted at an adjourned meeting of the park commissioners. Tuesday of this week. Trhe levy for 1934 amounts to $61,237.50 of which oîîlv $23,450 is for corporate purposes- and t'he balance for maturing bonds and intcrest 0f'vital importance at the Tues- day meeting wvas the action taken by the commissioners i1, giv ing immediate relief to the taxpayers of the park *district by making a' re- duction of $15,000 on the $66,000 tax levy for '1933, applied to re- tirenient of bonds maturing May 1, 1934. These bonds having been refunded under the new law, per- tnits this reduction. This pro- cedure reduces the 1933 tax levy, payable January 1, 1935, approx- îmately 25 per cent. Lt is anticipated that a similar saving to the taxpayers may be realized with reference to the 1934 Park district tax- levy by again resorting to the refunding method.

S. Marshall, New Trier'town- slîip assessor, reports that the county assessor has *compiled and p'rinted for distribution the usual list of noti- ficationis to taxpayers on personal property values. This is for the y'ear 1933. Ltappears from a preliminary in- spection that in this compilation from, the field books some clerical errorq have occurred in allocations tt$ school districts. To illustrate: Appar- ently -al those residents of Glencoe who live in Winnetka District No. 36 are shown in Glencoe District No. 35. Again, a number of Winnetka residents, are erroneously shown in Kenilworth District No. 38. It. is understood that the county assessor's officeý will proceed immediately to check the printed lists : gainst- the field books again for the entire town-. ship,.- so it should ,not be necessary for taxpayers to file complaints iin order to procure corrections. Show 37% of Full Value It is understood that, the assessed values shown*by the notification lists are 37 per tent of the fuît value re- ported by the local assessor for' in-, dividuals and unincorporated busi- nesses. Corporation returns go di- rectly to"the county assessor. Some individuals and unincorpor- ated businesses will find that, aI- though the list shows that a returii was filed, the figures do flot agree with those filed. This is because some filed 37 per cent of full value, some used saivage value, some overlooked the automobile, and so on. Total Value $8,870,000 The field books had to be returned to the county assessor within two weeks of the filing -of a large part of the schedules. Consequently it was impossible to notify taxpayers of sucli changes as were made. No penialties- were added to any return by the local' assessor. About ten days are allowed';by the board of appeals after receipt of the printed notice in which complaints may be fiied. It, is hoped that there is a sufficient equality in this assessment that few will have to avait tbemselves ofthis appeal. It is understood that the total assessed value for the toWtn- ýship adds Up to $8,8M0,000 for 1933, as, compared with about $l4,00,00 for 1932, which was reduced by the board, of. appe.als to« $11,800,000. SIni total, therefore, the 1933 assess-, nment is on practically the same basis as the onie made for 1931. WANT ÉLOCK AT BEACH A reqruest presented to the Village board Tuesday night that a dlock of. sufficient. s*7e to be seen' frôm the bathing beach be.placed on the new waterworks building, 'was 'referred to 'the committee on sewers and *water.
