FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1908.
We wish to cnll attention to tlic
statement of George J. Perkins in
this issttc. The former article by
Mr. Perkins was handed in late,
we were in a hurry and did not
read it very carefully, taking it for
granted, coming from the source it
did that it was all right and "let
'cr ko." This is the second time
that misstatements from Mr. Per
kins has caused tts inconvenience
and we shall be more careful in the
future when we receive commtinl
cations from his pen. we do not
think and never thought that Mr.
Trowbridge or his associates would
sloop to blnckinailiiiif, nor do we
think any one in St. Johns enter
tains such an opinion of them. We
did not so understand the article in
question or it would not have been
printed in the way it was written.
This much is due to the Journal
tinder the circumstances and we
make this statement just as cheer
fully as we jacked up some of their
reporters recently for lying about
St. Johns. So many times these
reporters nave tis the worst of it
that we had come to think the
Journal was systematically knock
ing the town and naturally we
resented it. We arc assured, how
ever, by both Mr. Jackson, the
publisher and Mr. Trowbridge the
editor, that such Is not their iuleii
tion, but the welfare of St. Johns
is ol just as much interest to them
as is that of any other portion of
Multnomah county and requested
us to call their attention to any
thing we found wrong i their
treatment of St. Johns, promising
to right the matter. This we will
be very glad to do and trust (hat
St. Johns wilt receive a square deal
at their hands hereafter.

QUALITY, STYLE, PRICE
The Tax Proposition.
Tuesday, in response to the com
munication of S. C. Cook in last
week's issue Mr. North, deputy
assessor, came to St. Johns liriug
lug his records with him. He went
over the ground with us explaining
his methods of assessment, and like
the Keview, lie does not believe In
imnosiui! u fine upon property own
ers for improving their proeity.
lie asserts that while he is supposed
to assess the full value, he assesses
but about fio per cent of the full
value so as to be strictly within the
limit of a forced sale price.
Referring to Mr. Cook's icsideuce
he said that two years ago when
the house was assessed it was not
finished and that In such eases they
Hindu mi estlmiite ol the work so
far as completed. The following
your, the house being completed,
the valuation was made as nearly
correct as possible, and that the
amount ot taxes In tills ease was
just 53 cents more than last year.
As to lots 1 1 and 12, block 17
Point View we found that instead
of being oo with 110 improve
incuts, that the assessment was
made at $80 for each lot or 5160
and 300 for improvements; and
that in the case of lots m, .11, 35
mid 36 111 block lb, same addition,
the assessment was just the same,
or jibo IK.T lot and that lucre was
100 improvement 011 these lots,
which indicates that Mr. Cook must
have been misinformed in regatd to
these lots and their assessment.
I.ast spring after the assessment
was made mid the rolls were in
order, Mr. Not th marked up a
map with the assessment of every
piece of pioimi ty indicated, left it
at the Peninsula bank with Mr.
Wood and put a notice in the Ke
view requesting anyone wishing
information as to their assessment
to call at the bank and examine the
same and if not satisfactory to
make their complaint. The map
remained thete some two mouths
ago and there was not a single com
plaint except from two
who always make a con
their assessment, nor has
been one made until Mr. Cook's
aiticle appeared. Mr. North and
Air. mi: cr. inrouiiu nun. exienus
a most hearty invitation to any one
who may wish to know anything
about their assessment to call at
the assessor's office, wheie they
will take the gieatest pleasure in
imparting any information they
may be seeking. Mr. North left
the man in question in this office
for the insitectiou of any one wish
ing to leant the assessed valuation
of their projtcrty.
