The Roanoke Rapids Herald notes arguments over the 1919 reassessment law and expected 1920 changes. It discusses tax savings for property owners, the impact on public schools, and salaries for teachers amid legislative actions and political commentary on figures like Lansing Hoover Lloyd George and Wilson.
The Revaluation Act cut taxes by forty five percent for 1919 and 1920, by altering valuations. It notes reassessments every four years would have raised taxes, and claims a long history of rising property values, with an average increase around 26.14 percent, affecting almost all property owners.
