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.

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.
