SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT. Coy Hall. July 25:». 1913.

The City Council.

Gent!emen:——The last meeting of the City Council under the system in vogue before the inauguration of the Board of Control referred to this Board the ver_\' important matter of civic assessment. The subject was plated before your Board as an item from the Order of the Day. being “report Finance Committee. clause -1.

recommending the borrowing of S8,LllJU.UU for the installation of the so called Sonic-.rs bnit System of Realty Valuation. February 6th. 1913, page -l-80." With an earnest desire to bring about a more satisfactory system of assessnient for the Cit)‘ of Halifax the members of the Board have given very serious consideration to the various phases of this important and intricate problem. and have {‘.OI1'Il.'.‘ to the con- clusion that the time has arrived when more modern methods will liave to be applied for assessment for civic purposes.

At a special meeting of the Board held last evenilig. present l.Jrpul_\'-.\la_\'or Powell. Qliairman. and Controllers O'Connor. Ilarris, lloben and :-icanlan. the Board unanimously decided to recommend to the City Council that legislation be sought whereby the City may be authorizetl to install a unit system of property valuation for assessment purposes. said legislation to provicle [or thr l‘MJFl'fJ\\"lIl.g of :1 sum not to exceed $15,000.00 for the purpose.

Although the major portion of the amount suggested would not he required during the Civic year 191-I-15. the Board deems it e_\-podi-.-nt that authority to cover all estimated expenditure should be included at one time in the |JErr11lsSl\'L‘ legislation proposed. No shceme for scientific assessment based on inathcmatical calvulatiom: can become ellective with the data at present availablt: to the Assessors and the first steps necessary to be taken require a Very large amount of work in preparation and printing of plans showing each block of the City SI,‘.p£!l".1t(‘l)' with the (lllt1(:IlSl\)11S

and outline plans of each structure plotted thereon .This preliminary work is very urgently needed at the present time whether it finally t'lE,'t’?l(lL‘tI to cstalalisli an)‘ new system of assessment valuations or not. It would }Jr(Jl)E1l)l)'1a1l-C021 large portion of one year to accomplish, so that the larger portion of the amounts proposed to be borrowed will not likely be required until at least the civic year 1915-16.

Moved by Controller O'Connor, seconded by Controller I-Ioben that the report be adopted.

Motion put and passed unanimously, the following inemhers of Council being present and Voting for the same: CoI1t1'0ll01'.~‘»
