- NUMBER 50.
Always Should See ’Em AIL
Assessor, Jack Brady seems to be
the right man in the right place as.
he is making a personal call on every
taxpayer to ascertain the amount of
the personal property assessable in
stead ‘of relying on the more or less
uncervain figures of last years tax roll.
He even called on the Review office
to see if we didn’t have a:linotype or
two hid away somewhere. Its a good
way to find out how much property &
taxpayer has. i
