Book excerpt: Excerpt from Final Report of the Board of Revenue Commissioners, 1848: Prepared by a Committee of the Said Board, Consisting of Messrs. Eli K. Price, James S. Craft, Maxwell McCaslin, John Krause, Owen Jones A source of inefficiency, to which the testimony adduced before the Revenue Com-l missioners pointed, is of the following character - The assessor is elected by the people of his own township or ward; towards his neighbors and friends, who have conferred this favor, he is natually inclined to be lenient 1n the discharge of his duty. If by mistake he has overvalued their property, they have their appeal to, the county commissioners, who have, m like manner, been placed in power by popular preference, and probably are the expectants of it in future, and therefore, frequently yield to per sonal importunity and influence, ln seme instances in palpable violation of known law. Upon the action of these elected functionaries, there is no adequate control provided by law. Over their action on individual cases, the State Revenue Commissioners can exert no revisory power, their authority having relation only to the Sufficiency of the aggregate valuation of the county.
