REASSESSMENT MOVE LAUNCHED

Tax Board Will Ask 1945 Assembly to Adopt Recommendation. “Impartial and standardized” reassessment of all property in the

state will be advocated in the 1945 general assembly by the state tax

The, boards recommendation evolves from a special tax study authorized by the 1943 legislature. Bills which would have approved state-wide reassessments have been introduced in the last three legisiatures, but all have been pigeonholed. Should the proposal to “eliminate gross inequities” in the state property tax structure be adopted, the move would be carried out by county and township assessors, Tax authorities estimate that the entire state-wide reassessment job would require about one year. General revaluation of all properties has long been the objective of urban real estate groups who contend that tracts in centralized areas are over-assessed. The board also suggested that: Revenues needed to finance postwar works programs be obtained from “sources other than property taxation.” The ‘intangibles tax law be amended to close “legal loopholes through which much intangible property is escaping taxation.” While federal legislation has not necessitated “any radical change in the state tax structure,” the raising of additional state revenue may be imperative as a result of reduced revenues from gross income tax payments during the expected income-decrease in the post-war era.

ACCUSED OF $500 POST OFFICE THEFT

A war plant worker, held by police in connection with the theft of $500 from the Speedway City post office, was to be turned over to the postal authorities today. The suspect, Roosevelt Blow, 24, of 403 W. 30th st., was quoted by police as having confessed to the theft, explaining that he grabbed the money out of a drawer at the postoffice Saturday afternoon while the clerk's back was turned. He was arrested as he came out of the war'plant where he was employed on a description furnished by the postal clerk who saw the suspect standing in the lobby before the theft occurred. Blow. was placed under $10,000 bond pending action by postal authorities. Of the $500 stolen, $424 was found in Blow’s pocket.

It takes mountains of equipment,

billions of dollars, plus our gallant

fighting men . . . to win this war!l

You saw how American leadership and courage, backed by & never-ending stream of equipment, won France in record time. But we've still got a fight on our hands! We've still got \ tough, brutal enemy to lick. We need B-29 bombers. Wa need a flood of them. And every B-29 bomber costs $600,000 in war bonds, We need milion: of gallons of high octane gasoline, We need ambulance planes that cost $125,000 each. We need amphibious tanks, airplane carriers. and a never-ending stream of costly

equipment to win the FINAL victory.

Our job at home is clear and unmistakable. Just so long as an American faces a gun, we must keep on buying war bonds. Each

and every one of us must invest in at least one extra $100 bond,

We're out to finish the guy who started the fight. Let's go! Sign up for extra bonds on the pay-roll plan. Welcome the Victory Volunteer when “he or she calls at your home. Go to your bank, or wherever you buy War Bonds — and back the
