BELIEVE NEW SYSTEM
Walter E. Sweeting, a taxation ex

privilege of the floor at the meeting
of City Council, last night, to explain
lhe Somers s/stem of property as

Mr. Sweeting's address was the,
Council probably w ithin another
year, will have to provide a new tax-i
Stion ayatera for the city. I Ills, it is
aaid by the m< mbers. la Inovita

Jtanitation under the present system,

the end of each fiscal year in the l * n_

which always résulta.

any kind of a new system, and It is
s«ld that there will be ample '»me
for consideration of the Innovation.,
That the Somers plan will be Riven

! In speaking on the subject last
nlght Mr. Sweeting said in part
"Taxes upon real estate form the
I principal source of revenue In many
of the States and partleally every city!
i ln thi« countrv. Tho*o faxt« are re
! quired by law to De levied in pro
portion to the valu* of every property
ao that such owner will bear a fair
proportionate share of the municipal
or State exnenses.
"The duty of so apportioning the
amount of taxes paid upon .-ach pro

known as Assessor*. Originally the
I dutie* of the nsseaor were quite

• a century or,two ago everyone was

I and it was possible for the assessor
f to learn the value of each owner'*
t holdings through the channels of
j village gossip.
"Gradually the villages became

t the change the assessor obtained no
new means of ascertaining correc t

equality and injustice are just as,,

"No serious attempt was made to
remedy this condition until a score
of years ago W. A. Somers began to
study thc problem. After fifteen
years he discovered thc underlying
principal of scientific land valuation
and Invented certain mechanical de

In theory and In practice and has
