LISTS ENGLISH TAXES William the Conqueror Levied on Plow Teams and Pans for Making Salt. Plow teams, salt pans for making salt and other personal items were taxed back In 1085, when William the Corzzror made the historically im- 3t Domesday Book, the first gi‘at record of land valnations, according to the National Association of Real Estate Boards, which for some time has been urging, through its member boards and the new property owner divisions of these boards, the taxation of propeny‘ other than real estate. Although the bulk of the Domesday Book is devoted to the assessment and valuation of rural estates, which we then the only important source of ni tional weaith, part of the huge volume lists subsidiary sources of revenue. The Christmas Assembly of 1085 au- thorized the making of the great survey of England describ>d in every English history. After a great political change, such as followed the Norman conquest, it was desirable for the country’s head to check on the lands he had confis- cated and the income he felt should belong to the crown. It is said also that William wanted to compare the new assessments with the existing ones, which were very ancient. There were many new landowners— the Norman followers of the conqueror who were not disposed to pay any back taxes left by their English predecessors. The use of more than one assessor to set property values survives in United States citles probably as a result of the practice begun by William to have 12 “jurors” swear to the values of land for the Domesday Book. prosperity."” o 2.
