' Equalization of Assessment
We have mentioned above the

Assessors Problems
While It is not entirely possible
to ensure that taxpayers shall only
I pay for the actual services -they
receive from a municipality, - still
some progress along this line has
been made in the past few years.""
A good assessor never raises the
I, assessment because the exterior or
interior of a building. is web painted
dor decorated. Neither does he rate
the value of buildings higher be-
cause of a good roof or eavetrough-
ing or well kept ,lawns, flower beds,
paved driveways, fences, etc. How-
ever, he should not reduce the as-
sessment because of,.the lack of any
of these items unless such lack has
caused anactual costly physical
depreciation.
Ile Should keep in mind, however,
that badly laid out buildings, lack
of natural light and (he -poor loca-
tion, etc., of a property will definite-
ly reduce the value. Ile should not
penalize the good citizen who im-
proves his home by such items as
hardwood flooring or trash( rile
floors, ti replaces, ,, s11tached oil
burners, panelling. 1►uilt-in ettp-
lioards, me, %Mile ;ill of these
items are legally- assessable. yet the
taxpayer whose home has these
features does not receive any extra

,and in Soule instances receit

Items which are niotV 01 less
standard as plumbing, electric light-

furnaces are assessable and should
be included at a fa ir charge. The

".. , the willingness
to find a way"
A man who started a new business a
few years ago recently wrote to pay
tribute to the bank's part in helping
to make it a success:
"We were fortunate in having, as our
banker, a man who could combine
with experience the willingness
to' find a way that called not for
experience alone but for imagination
as well."
The chartered banks are forever alert to
the fresh problems, the changing needs
of their customers. At all times, in all
your banking problems, you can depend
on your local bank to bring experience
and imagination to the task of helping
you to "find a way".r4
