PROPERTY TAX DRIVE STARTED

‘Bring in Complete Lists,’ Are Center Deputies’ Instructions.

An army of more than 150 deputy township assessors spread out through the city today in the opening of the annual property tax assessment drive. The assessment period closes May 15.

The special deputies are under instructions to “bring in complete lists of assessments of all personal property.” Center Township Assessor James

-|P, Cunningham would make no pre-

dictions on property valuations for this year, but said he “hopes to see an increase.” The present Center Township personal property valuation is approximately $31,000,000. Total valuation of all property both real estate and personal is approximately $510,000,000.

Golf Clubs on List

The deputies were armed with new personal property assessment forms prescribed by the State Tax Board and including for the first time such items as “golf clubs” as personal property. Golf equipment always has been subject to assessment but Mr. Cunningham said it was specified on the forms in efforts “put more of them on the assessment valuation lists.” Also for the first time, deputies are under instructions to assess all types of slot machines, including automatic record players, against the owner of the establishment in which they are found.

Dog Tax Scaled

Previously the possessor had not been liable for taxes upon the devices, but after attempts to locate the owner of the machines failed in many cases, the new requirement was prescribed. In addition to declaring their dogs for taxation purposes, dog owners also will be asked to pay the state dog license tax of $1 for male or spayed female dogs, $3 for unspayed females and $5 for each additional d

WAVE RECEDING

But Don’t Relax Vigilance Is Warning Given by Dr. Morgan.

Winter's wave of influenza and sneumonia is receding after reaching its crest last month, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health Officer, said today. He warned, however, that the recession, which has been noted in the past 10 days, should not be taken as an indication to relax vigilance in combating ‘the diseases. March and April, he said, always have shown high pneumonia mortality rates and . changeable weather in these months in conducive to respiratory infection. * Indication thot the worst is over, however, was seen in the sharp drop in pneumonia deaths in the latter part of February. There were 13 pneumonia deaths in the week ended Feb. 10, 24 deaths in the week ended Feb. 24. : Although the last five days of February have not yet been tabulated, a further reduction is anticipated when a count is made Maonday, the City Health Officer said. The number of pneumonia deaths and flu cases rose rapidly last month after a long period of comparative quiescence, Dr. Morgan said. Up to February, the pneumonia mortality rate was lower than for the past three years. In January, there were 53 deaths of pneumonia, compared with 76 in Janusty; 1939, and 77 in January 1938. Up to Feb. 24, there were 52 deaths comparéd with 66 in February a year ago and 54 in the same period of 1938.

City Librarian ~~ Learns to Swap

Swapping is becoming a fine art at the Business Branch Library, but Miss Ethel Cleland has come to an impasse in her dealings with Chicago. Miss Cleland, head of the business branch library, has been trading telephone books and. city directories with other cities for 25 years. She has been trading with about 70 cities like Los Angeles, Baltimore, Seattle, Kansas City, Detroit, Buffalo, Denver, Washington, D. C, Milwaukee and so on. Most Southern cities, however; don’t like to trade directories and just. why Miss Cleland hasn't the faintest idea. In these cases she just has to dig down and buy. But Chicago is her latest problem child. They haven't issued a city directory since 1928. “People just can't believe that Chicago doesn't issue a new city directory any more,” she said. “We long to throw this old, unsightly object away but it is still used for information the telephone book doesn’t give. As long as people use it, we'll keep it.” -
