Interesting Report of the Com- mittee on Taxation. Remarks by Messrs. Galloway and NMason. At aspecial meeting of the Executive Con‘_l- mittes of the Citizens’ Association, held at their rooms yesterday afternoon, the following report was submitted by the COIMTTEE ON TAXATION : To the Executise Commilics of the Citizens’ Asiociation of Chicazo: “T'hu Gommittes on Tazation appointed by you beg Ieave to subuwit the following report: The subject of taxation is so vast and complex that it would be the work of years rather than of days to examine curefully and discuss fally its many branches aud the. various questions connected with i, But thero aro vo may and such rerjous defects in tho tax syxtem now in operation in Chicsgo, that your Com- mittes doem it advisaple o call aitention at once to some of its most palpable eviis, and tn suggest reme- dies for them, reserving more intricate matters for the fuller considoration which they dewand, Thie gravest of these evils, and that waick works tho greatest injustice, is the wide inequality fu tho assess- ments of veluation, particularly those upon which State, county, aud town taxcs are based. In comse- quence of this juequality, some individuals pay a two, three, and in sume justances ten-fold greater tsx, in proportion to the real vaiue of their projerty, than othier owners in thessma town. Thot this 33 not an overstatement, the_following instances, carefully ver- itied by your Comumittee, will teatify, They all occur iu the assessment for 1674, upon which Laxes are now Leing paid : 1n one town its Asseasor assessed one very valuable piece of improved bLusiness property at s little lesy than 6 per cent of ita real value : another large tract, docked aud used_tor lumber-yards, at 20 per cent of ita real value: and still anotber large and valuable Dproperty, built up with rosidentes, a2 9 per cent of ita Teal value, ‘The Asscssor in anotler town valuod & piece of impruved business property at & per cont of its value, 8 rosidenca st 16 por cent of itu valus, and a acant Iot st 60 per cent of its value, Theso towis are both situated within the city limits ; but in one of the towns sdjoining the city, whils two tracts of land wers assessod at 4 aud § per cont of their respective values, other tracts w.rv assased at nearly, if Dot quits, their full valucs, Aud in one of the remoter towns in' Cook County the Assessor valued all of the land in it at » uniform_rate per acre, although he must have known that the vuluo of the farms iu that town varied from £30 to §150 per acre, Thesa ars not isolated instances, and your Committée believe that they furly illustrats the existinz modes of auseasment for juryGses of Laz— atfon in mavy, if not all, of the twns in_inis_county, the records of which will show nuzicrous similar cases of exceasive over and under valmation. The Couuty Board of Equsiizstun furnishes no remedy for this state of things. 8o numerous aud Kreut are theve discrepancies, that to adjust 3 emgle asscsstuent equitably betwoen te iudividual properiy- owners in this county wouid require the Equalizin Buard to be iu session an entiro year. Nor woul justice then bo done, unless the members of the Board were fumiliar with the trus value of every picce of property in the county,—s thing which is simply im- possible with our present rovenue machinery. Tt is poskible for this County Board to cqualize the asgoaument of valuation for town, county, and State purposcs between the different towns, with some ap- prosch to fairness. Yetin so doing, the injustice to individuala is only aggravated. It was sacertained that, in yome of the towus in this county, the assess- meut of real catate for a particuiar year did not aversge more than 10 per cent of the reul value, whilo in other towny for the same year it was 60 per cent Atsuming that the average assessment of reaity for whole county was 40 per ceut of the true valuos for st year, ~equalization between the two clwses ~ of towns designated can_be maude by multiplying the assessment in the first by four, and raduciug it by one-third in the otber. But in tho first class of townw the property of many individuals wus asvessed at 30 per cent of ita value, and that of others at only 5 per ceat, making the everage valuation of the town 10 per cent'of what the property in it was really worth. = When yon multi- ply by four to equalizo between tho two classes of towns, Fou make wome owners pay upon 120 per cent of their property, or one-{th more than it is wort, while thoes aseearcd at § per cent originally still pay ouly upon one-ialf of tha proper value. ~ And when the Siute Board of Equabizations rpeats this proceed- ang upou 2 larer scale, in it ttempts 1o adjust the valuation ns Letwewn counties, the wrong in many caten bucouics enotmous. The vital error lies in the inequality in the original ansessment of valuation. Tuere is littio Lopw of relief from tis great wrong while the prevnt method of seiecting tho men who make these orixinal asressments contiutes. The As- £:580r8 cLioson at town-mevtings are usually ignorsnt of the duties to be pecforied, and not always incor- ruptible. And even if they were competent and hon- «st, it would be impossiblo for them, in any of the three towns in the City of Clicago, to ma¥e s fair an~ sessment in the limited timo within which they are re— quired by law to do their work. Your Committea believe that the only sdequate Temedy for tiese evils will b found in judicfous leyis- lation by the State, Pritarily, however, 0 far a« this city 13 concerned, at any rate, the township organization whould b done away with, lt eing bere utterly nseless and wiciora, “Then there sbould Le but ons valuation of property, on the basis of which all taxes for city, couaty, and State rhouid be levied.
