It is possible that In some instances the state board may recommend strenuous action against those taxinjr and as

sessing officials who have failed to j comply with the provisions of the new j sate tax law on this subject. i If the county board of rex lew should I fail to biinir valuations "P to standard j the sate board has power to do so, and ' it has espressed a purpose to exercise; that power. j The special representatives found ! that most of the counties have tried to comply with the law. In counties that ' have fallen short it is reported that : the blame is. as a rule traceable to the ; countv assessor, whose duty It is tn In- j struct the tow nship assessors and keep j in touch with them to se that they i use the true cash value method. ! Should the county boards of review fail to make valuations what they; should be in the countips that have not come up to the standard, the action of j the state tax hoard In raimj? valuations late this year will Rive the county i auditors much hard work in preparing I tKn lav .1 i ii 1 i Q t t m in tim f ,t 1 'l v- t fl V ' . infr next year.

property this year may go up to the. second class. The third class cities of Indiana and their valuation for taxation in 1911!. which will he much increased this year, are as follows: Anderson. $12,331,420; Hammond. $12,707,155; Lafayette, $14.8S1.515; Muncte. $1 6.334. 7G5 : New Albany, $10,336,320, and Richmond, $17.828,616. POSITION OF EAST CHICAGO. Hast Chicago, a fourth class city, which had a population of 19.0f.S in 13H and a valuation for taxation in 10tS of .? 1 8.SOO.I.75, no doubt will have a valuation thi.s year much In excels of $2".'100.000. and it may, if it rhooFCf, jump from the fourth to the second claps. One peculiar effect of the hiKhr valuations for taxation this year may he that most of the third class cities will ro up to second, and only one or two may be left in the third class. The third class is not governed by valuations for taxation, but only by population, and the special law enacted for WhltinK in 191.1 and for Oary in 1915 will result in raisins cities to the fourlh and second classts, but not to the . third. EAST CHICAGO IN FOURTH. Hut until the valuations r finally approved by the state board of tax commissioners, it will not he known deflnitcly what changes jn classifications of cities will result. t'uks of the fourih and fifth classes are most likely to be affected as to class if they have larpe industrial plants 'Hies of the fourth class, according to the var book for 191 s, are Kast Chicago. Elkhart, Huntinpton. Kokomo. porte, 1-ogansport, Marion. Michigan r"ity. Mishawaka, Vincennes and 'Whitins. While Whiting has a population of only i,5S7. according to the 191' t'mted States census, under the law of 1913. making cities of less than 10,000 with more than $7,500,000 of taxable property fourth class, it advanced to (hat class. LOW TAX VALUATION. S"me cities had a population of mor" than lo.rioo, yet are in the fifth class because the taxable valuation is H-s than $5,000,000. The salary of mayors in second class cities is $1.ooo by staf law. which permits an increase by the city council to $4,000; in third class cities. $2,000. which may be increased bv ordinance to S3. 500: in fourth class cities, under law enact. d by the 1919 legislature, not less than $1,200. which may lie increased by ordinance to $1,500. and if th city own? a water or lighting plant. $2,000 a year: in fifth class cities salary is to be fixed by city ordinance. The salary of city attorney in a fourth class city Is by state law not more than $1,500, and in a fifth class city It Is to be fixed by ordinance. The salary of city councilmen in second claps cities is not more than $200 a year, third and fourth class cities is not more than $150 a year and In fifth class not more than $100 a year. HIGHER SALARIES FSOBABLE. There are some differences in the number of officials and form of arovernment of the various classes of cities. The mayor of a fourth class city may appoint a board of public works to perform the functions of mayor, city engineer and the commissioner of public w o r t s , If the mayor of a fourth class city appoint a board of public the salary of the three members shall be not Ies than $1,200 a year each, and may be increased by ordinance to $1,500. In the fifth class cities the marshal Is

chief of police. In the fourth class the mayor will appoint a board of public safety at salaries of not more than $200 each for the three nembers. There are many' other differences In salaries and officers of the various classes of cities. In a general way. the higher valuations for taxation blnt made this yaer will tend to raise cities to a higher class and open the way to higher salaries, though in numerous cases it is left to the city councils to decide what salaries shall be.
