There has been much attention and discussion given to the problem of ever-
increasing property taxes country-wide, state-wide and county-wide.

cases, to cause hardships.

establish an Ad Hoc Tax Committee to find ways and means to halt the spiraling
increase on property taxes.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I move that the foregoing resolution be referred to the
Committee on Committees and a report made to this Board as soon as possible.
