May Open Fight On New Assessments
A Maryland county board member urged a fight at the upcoming legislative session to repeal the new State assessment system signed by Governor McKeldin. The measure would set full cash value assessments in 1954, likely raising property values and taxes by 40 to 50 percent. County officials doubt the plan, fearing bookkeeping and transfer complications from a three year assessment cycle. Supervisor A Lamar Barrick declined comment.
