of the GerTme.at.
A definite preposition was last night
submitted to the member of th Board
of County Supervisors and the city coun
cil to assess all property In the city and
county hereafter In accordance with the
Somers system of equal islng valuations.
The use of the ayetem and the experts
who will direct Ita administration will
cost the city about 17,600 and the county
comparatively a small sum, not to ex
ceed $3,000 for the county.
The system was outlined at a dinner at
the Grand hotel by Walter W. Pollock
and William Young- of Cleveland, O., rep
resenting the Manufacturers Appraise
ment company of Cleveland. The plan
has been previously outlined In The Bee
when Mr. Pollock first presented It last
summer.
To Real Estate Primarily.
It appllea primarily to real estate valua
tions, although It Is equally capable of
effecting equitable valuations of personal
property. The valuation of real estate
In every block In the city Is determined
by the location of the block in relation
to the business centers and the value of
each lot In each separate block bears Its j
proportional value to the highest priced
lot in that block. The human element
enters only into the determination of
the most valuable lot In each block. Thia
lot la marked 100, then by a tabular scale
the proportional value of all the other
lots in the block Is determined by the
ratio process. This refers only to the
ground. The buildings and Improvements
are determined by a second process baaed
upon the same methodical system.
The contract submitted last night to
the city council and the county board in
cludes the services of two experts fur
nished by the appraisement company,
who are to be paid 1760 per month In
semi-monthly installments until $6,000 has
ben paid. The remaining J 1.500 is retained
until after the county board and the city
council, altting aa review boards, have
completed their work under the guidance
and with the assistance of the real estate
and building experts. All of the valua
tions are made in eo-operation with the
city and county assessors, although In the
country the experts do not make personal
examination of the property to be valued,
but furnish all of the blanks and Instruct
the township assessors In their use.
Equal Tax ghat-tag;.
The new plan professes to be a sane
and mathematical system of ascertaining
values and equitably distributing the bur
den of taxation. At the present and
throughout the past there Is and haa been
no syatem whatever. Pure "gueas work,"
often dominated by "pull" and favor
itism, governs- The result is that some
pay twice the amount of taxes they
should while others escape' with one-half
payment and sometimes none at all.
At the meeting last night all of the
members of the council present. Including
Aldermen, Stone. Kelly. Hochman. Huber
and Boyer, expressed their approval of
the plan and their conviction that it
would prove a very popular measure, re
lieving the burdened many and catching
the tax-dodging few. Supervisors Co and
Harding expressed the same convictions.
The matter will be considered by the city
council and the county board at an early
date. When a vote was called for all of
those present. Including real estate men
and merchants, expressed unanimous ap
proval of th plan.
Many Cities TTstnsr It.
It was stated that more than 100 cities,
Including several In Iowa, are now using
the system. One of the problems remain
ing to b solved by. the city and county
officials la the authority under the law to
adopt the system and the funds to be
drawn upon to pay for It
City Assessor F. C. Biker acted as
chairman of the meetings and near the
conclusion was requested to appoint a
committee to present the matter to the
otty council at the meeting: next Monday
night. He named Robert B. Wallace, Roy
Wilcox, H. G. McGe and Attorney Klstle.
The citizens present endorsed a resolu
tion which contains sentiments in accord
with tbos expressed at the meeting.

Take Testimony Jones.
The supreme court has directed that a
commissioner take testimony in the mat
ter of the alleged railroading to prison
of Earl Jones of Corning, when he was
sentenced for abduction. There is a con
troversy whether the court proceedings
were regular. Attorneys for Jones would
not agree to stipulate as to what tin dis
trict court, the clerk of the courts and
the county attorney would say was done
at the time. Consequently ihe court
has appointed Jasper Fcrgtison, court re
porter, to take testimony and furnish
it for the use of th supreme court. It
is expected the Jones, case will bo dis
