br Representative Dunn, of thc Phlla
jflpbia dtlWtlon. which would nbol
,b minority party representation In
the appointment of real estate assessors.
The measure is designed to do nwny
with the present law which requires that
one-half of the assessors be nomed from
minority parties.
There are seventy-two real estate as
.Monln Philadelphia. The job car
5m a salary of $4000. which, with a
bonus. St. to 54400. The place,
l much sought after by ward leaders
for two reasons: ,
First. It is not under civil service.
nd the holder Is free to engage in all
the political activity he is capable of.
Second. The work docs not make too
rtrenuous demands on thc time of as-
"iMth'c bill is enacted Into law, nev
wtr-two Jobs, nnylnic $4400 a year
each, would bo in the control of the
majority party. Tho total payroll rep
merited by this list of assessors is
$310,000 a yenr.
The Dunn bill would amend the pres
ent law which requires minority repre
sentation, and which results practically
In thc appointment of thirty-six Demo
crats, by providing that appointments
rhmild be made regardless of polltlcnl

Tliove back of the proposal urge that
in the officinl work of the assessors Is
"business rather than political, the
appointments should be made without

of revision of taxes.
It Is not expressly stipulated that
