Mr. Tuley, continulng, sald ‘he had s doubta as to tho legalily of tita meeting un- til the assessment had been completed, Bupervisor Jackson stated that the Board had met, recelved complatiots, and simply adjourned Ifromn day to day withoul taxing any action, MR ROUNTHER caontonded that the nowera of the Roard to re- view and correct were unlimited, and that tho County Board was inhibited by law from radue- ing the nsecsaments, Tho Injustics of the nasossment In the Bouth Tuwn was admlitted, Bome of the Connty Comimlestoners had nssured him that they would never voto to taka off of Bouth Chicago and add corresponding! 1o their own towne. ‘The most they were wll(- fng to do was to sct asido the pasessment and order g new one. But why drive the County Board to do what this Board'had the right and power to do,—to overthrow the whole assess- inent and direct o new ona to bo mado! M, TAWER devoted himself largely to tho question of per- sonal property, Thero wera geotlemen, he sald, who hiad returncd their personal property ot lcss than onc-third and even one-fourth of ita falr cash_valuc.

In support of ihis, Mr, Ilawes :quoted from the Supreme Court declalon in the caso of Darloy vs. Gunn, 50 IIl. He did not ;deem it necesaary to consider the quesifon out- side of South Chicago, believing the Board had theright to follow the course bg had fudicated, sustained as 1t would be by the declsion of the Bupreme Court, MR, REDZIE exproased to the Board tho thanks of the Tax- yers' Association for tho courtesy with which t had Mstened to the erguments.” Tho whole .eround bad bean well covered, amd on only one "point—tho cxtent of this Doord's power—had any question arisen, I6 heid that the statutc ave this Board unlimited ruwen. and that the framers of thc law hod clearly fotended that there should be a distinction Letween it and other Boards, At the proper timo, goutlomen belunging to tha Taxpayers® Ausoclafiun would prove that tha sssessment in tho Wost and North Dlyislons this year did not vary from tha 'nasessments in those divistons Jast year; that the nsaessment In the South Divislon’ last fuur was fulfy up to theassessment {n the other divisfons; thal the assessmont this year In the South Di- vision was {roin two to throe timea as bigh as it was fo_thoe othiers; and that property in the South Divislon had not rlsen as compared with property fu the other divisfons. Having shuwn wil this, the Association would conflaently ex- pect tull rellef from tho Bosrd of Review. Bupervisor Jackson stated that the Board had inylted Judgo Wallace, B. F. Ayer, and J. P.
