PROTESTS PROBABLE Next Tuesday is fixed as th? day for a public hearing on tax assessments in Chapel Hill township The hearing will be held in the Peoples Bank beginning at 9 A Mf by the assessors Carroll and John Fowler Mr Fowler was appointed to succeed Bennett who started on the assessing task but was compelled by Illness to give it up Citizens of the township have been listing their property with Andrews for about a month The figures they turn in are passed on to the assessors tor review Mr Carroll and Mr Fowler have met several times during the last week to consider the proiwrty holdings one by one and place valuations upon them What they are seeking to do is to determine the fair market value of each piece of real estate Having decided upon this they place the assessment at 70 per cent For example if a house and lot are thought to be worth $10000 the assessment is fixed at $7000 There are two aspects to the problem' First they must eudsMMUaequaUm'valuesu here in Chapel Hill so that the burden is fairly distributed as among the taxpayers of the township Second they must zee that the assessments here bear relation to those in the other townships of Orange county If Chapel Hill property assessed at a higher percentage than is applied to property ii other townships then Chapel llill iieople will pay an unduly large proportion of the county taxes It is probable that the greatest ncreases in terms of percentage will be made upon some of thu larger proierties in the village articularly those along the business block between the post-office and garade Because of recent sales and because of known income from buffdings on that block actual market values there are more easily ascertainable than in the residence sections At' the hearing Tuesday the assessors will read out their valuations and every owner who hinks his assessment is too high will have the opportunity to state his reasons After the assessors have-made their final decisions their list will
