Rear Admir al Badger reported today that he had ordered the torpedo flotilla from Vera Cruz to Tampico to reinforce the Des Moines which was left there when the- other vessel3 were withdrawn to Vera. Cruz. . . , . ; . ... .-. V; . ORDERED OF RERL :- ESTATE VALUES -, , .i a'AvAtkA IndftV be- . iu. n.tn. fi-rwm WftfihlnK- ton and the war-on-tax equalization. from Raleigh. . Reports, from Raleigh sent out last night are to the effect that the corpo ration commission has instructed the Mecklenburg county equalization board to meet5 May 11 to hear com plaints as to the inequality of real es tate assessments' in the county and especially Charlotte township. The report, from.-. Raleigh does not state who the request for the re-adjustment come from, but the Mecklenburg coun ty board of education is the plaintiff Board of Education Plaintiff. That board some time ago ordered ita chairman, W. W. Watt, to make investigations to ascertain how the funds at the disposal of the county board of education in several of the wealthiest "counties compared with that at the disposal of the board in this county. The investigation, it will be alleged at the hearing, revealed Via Walro r-rmntv' nnH number ' of other leading counties in the state, had much larger sums to , carry on thes chool system there than has Mecklenburg county. Investigation, it said, revealed what are declared to je inequalities in the assessment placed for taxation on up-town prop erty as compared with property in thes uburbs. It is also claimed that the assessment in 1911 was lower than in 1910, when there might be ex pected an increase. Record Shows. The abstract of property valuation in the office of the register of deeds shows that in 1910 the real estate value in Charlotte township was $10, 064,027, while in 1911 it was 11,187, 223. In 1910 the real " personal prop erty in Charlotte township v was val ued at $4,374,272, while in 1911 it was valued at $4,215,322. The aggre gate valuation of real and personal property in. the township in 1910was $14,438,299 while in 1911 the ag gregate of both personal and real was $15,402,545. The increase in real property valuation was $1,123,194, while the reduction in personal prop erty was $158,950. Chief Contention. . The chief contention is about real estate values in Charlotte township and the contention of the plaintiffs is that the valuation is much too low in the business part of the city general ly in proportion to other, or outlying districts, and that if the valuation was made- on an equitable basis it would add very much to the amount of funds to be apportioned between the city and county for school pur poses. The board of assessors is composed of a chairman, who was J. Arthur Henderson, when the last assessment was made in 1911, and eleven asses sors in the city, one from each ward and one for the strip of township outside the city limits and one for each township in the county. The county commissioners will con stintute the 'board of emializntinn. with the county auditor playing the' role of investigator, according to en-i actment of the last legislature. The ! complaints will probably be laid be fore the board by attorneys repre senting the plaintiffs and who will be armed with dbcumentary 'evidence of their allegation that the tax as sessment. in inequitable. The full order of the corporation commission's order reads: The Order. "Order in the matter of the equali zation of the assessment of real prop erty in, Mecklenburg county: "Whereas, Complaint has been made to the state tax commission of North Carolina, that real estate in Mecklenburg county is assessed for taxation grossly irregularly and un equal ana at much bielow its prop-1 er valuation; that there is great ana! unjust inequality in the assessment' oi .me property of certain individu al taxpayers as compared to the as sessment of the property of others; that in many instances property in the city of Charlotte was reduced in the assessment of 1911 below the as sessment of 1910 when the same had In fact increased in value; and it ap pears from, the records that the lands r M6f1r1aniim X.. i r . vwMvuumg vuimiy, omsiae Oil towns, was assessed in 1910 at $2,-1 901,643 and was increased in the a- segment of. 1911 to $4,769,869 and j that all real proDertv within thi towns of said county was assessed in 1910 at $10,264,404 and. was decreased in the assessment of 1911 to $10,190, 903 to the surprise of those who have 'Witched Charlotte Grow,' as that city comprises "the bulk oV the real property in the county. - - "It is, therefore, ordered, that the county board of equalization of Meck lenburg county, being composed of the members of r the board of com missioners of said countv. do recon vene in the city of Charlotte on the eleventh day of May, 1914, to; hear any and allcomplaints in respect to the unequal or improper assessment of real property in Mecklenburg county, and that they make .full and complete investigation of the matter, and that they reassess, at a proper and fair valuation, all real property which they may nd in said county to be aisesaed' improperly or too low, and that they equalize the assessment of all real property in said county between individual taxpayers and be tween the townships. , All assessments under' this -order should be made as of May 1, 1911, but there - should be added to such as sessment, the fair value of all busi ness, and improvements erected on any property since that time.
