The returns of the assess! valuations of Industrial plants and corporations In East Chicago, according- to a committee (hat has been giving: the figure close ntudy for the last few days, is one of the most consistent and incongruous pieces of work that one could possibly Imagine. "Here, look at this," said Mr. Van Home, treasurer of the Board of Education. "Here the Consolidated Fireworks company, a small concern trying to get established, is assessed on its real estate $2,250 an acre, when its actual value is probably not over $1,000. And here's the Inland Steel asssesed but $1,000 tin acre on land that is held to be worth $15,000 an acre. Isn't that some system? "Here's the Harbison Walker assessed $1,000 an acre while the acreage of the O. F. Jordan company adjoining the brick yard tract is assessed but $500 an acre. Why should one be twice the other, tell rne that! "The assessment against the American Steel Foundries shows no increase

"Grasselll Chemical company shows
no increase in improvements, yet during the year 191S they took out permits
for buildings whose estimated cost
was $57,900.
"The Hubard Steel Foundries shows

for new buildings.
"The Standard Forging company
shows an Increase of $5, 00 in im
provements, yet since October 25, 1915
they have taken out permits for $110,-
000 additional improvements. "The Inland Steel company shows a total valuation of a little over k million and a half, yet it is current talk that it i at least a $30,000,000 corporation. Improvements show an increase of $235,000, yet reports at various times
have credited them with an expenditure of fully $10,000,000. "The Grasselli Chemical company
