The following letter from the County Board of Assessors
was presented to the Council at this time.
Dear Sir:
On August 22nd, 1929, this board called to the
attention of the various taxing bodies the necessity of
revising their 1928 Tax Levy Ordinance. A copy of that
communication is attached herewith; also a form of resol-
ution applicable to the 1929 Tax Levy is submitted for your
use.
In many instances where the suggested action was
not taken for the 1928 Tax Levy, a larger tax collection, a hig-
her tax rate than was expected or required, together with
attendant dissatisfaction of local tax -payers resulted.
Attempts to place upon the re -assessment the respon-
sibility for higher taxes and excess collections have been met
with facts and tax -payers have been fully advised as to the
cause of the increase in taxes. These facts have militated against
those who are charged with the duty of revising downward t±ie
Tax Levy Ordinance to fit requirements and actual expenditures
during the past fiscal year.
We suggest that you place this important matter before
your Board at an Early date so that proper reductions may be
made, thereby avoiding any excessive and unnecessary tax
extensions required by the existing Tax Levy Ordinance now in
the possession of the County Clerk.
Very truly yours,
COOK COUNTY BOARD OF
HSC:AW ASSESSORS.
The City Clerk was instructed to place same on file.
