Four year assessment rise eyed by county official
Sorensen cited climbing building costs as the reason for higher tax assessments. He gave examples from 1957 to 1967 showing how a $15,000 house would cost about $22,000 now and how depreciation would affect the final assessment. He stressed the board of review sets taxbooks but the Department of Revenue determines assessment factors.

Illinois House passes highway safety and college site bills
Pusateri cites State Health Department claim on drunken driving in fatal accidents as Illinois approves a bill lowering the percentage level. The House backs a $30 to $24 vote and sends to Kerner a $3 million appropriation for planning and acquiring sites for three year state colleges in Chicago and Springfield. Kerner can authorize site acquisition after leaders’ consultation. Construction requires further legislative authority. A $250,000 study by five out-of-state educators on private college resources is funded. Three Senate resolutions are adopted.
