Equalization of. assess- ment is` a vastly important subject, here as elsewhere, and it would "seem to be the logical sequence of the move initiated last year, in printing the roll, to have an ofcial appointed by the" Town to be known. as the Prosecutor of Appeals, whose busi- ness it` would be tostudy the roll, make comparisons of the gures,- have an ear for complaints, enter ap- peals against inequalities and prose- cute them ` vigorously before the Court of Revision.` Such an official could save his salary` many times over, and be a real revenue producer way we should reap the full benet derivable from a publication of the - assessment - returns.
