result of it would be to paralyze the

proportion to all the tax payers. How can the City do this. out of money which was regu- larly collected, approved and expend- cd in the regular legal work of 1928? The taxes for 1928 should not be disturbed. They were regularly as- sessed and on the basis of that as- sessment a rate was fixed and taxes imposed, collected, and spent.

Again under the old system the valuation was made in 1928 for three years, _The city proposes to value every year. The proposed amend- ment. would paralyze all this proced- uvc and bind the assessors and the City hands and feet. The effect o! it is to ask this House to put a valu- ation over-ruling the whole organiza- tion engaged in the assessment work of the City. l

The whole taxes for the year i928 were therefore closed and settled and largely paid. The arrears which re- sulted last year from a general scar- city of money in the Town are new being rapidly cleaned up. Any at- tempt now to glvo those in arrears a more favored rating than the great majority who have already paid. would be unjust to the City Treas- ury and to those who have loyally paid their taxes.
