§ MR. AGG-GARDNER (Cheltenham)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it is the practice of the Department to encourage an increase of assessments by giving to the district supervisors of Income Tax a percentage on the amount by which they are raised?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT) (Derby)Of course, Sir, the assessors are paid by a percentage on the amount raised; but they are specially cautioned against raising assessments unless for good cause. The surveyors are paid by salary only.
