BAKER CITY
Mm
PROBLEM
Many communities have' solved the tai
question very satisfactorily,- especially so
far a city property is concerned. And
the solution is interesting and many prove
beneficial to Baker. Th idea is to offer
an inducement for people to improve
their property and to accomplish this un
improved property i taxed ry high
whil Improved property is taxed pn ' th
tarn basis for th land but th improve
ments taxed much lower.
For instance: A man owns a city lot
worth $10,000. This lot I taxed at its
cah vaiv. $10,000. If th man im
prove t' bt putting on building worth
$40,000. the improvement are taxed at
one-fourth tKeir value or 1 10.000. Thi
total a $20,000 assessment for' th
ground and building but th real value
is $30,000 which makes a tax of less
than one-half. While for the unimproved
property the owner pays a tax on $10,
000 and get no returns.
in cities where this plan has been put
in operation it has worked very satisfac
tory inducing many property owners to im
prove their vacant lots. That it would
do a great for Baker is self-evident
Tnere ar many people in Baker who
owd unimproved property which would
be very valuable if decent building were
erected but they will not erect the build
ingt and they will not ell except for an
enormou price. Thi hinder th growth
ana development of the city and th plan
yiupusea wouia eiwer make these pro
perty owner put on improvement or
compel them to tell at a normal price to
men who would improve th lot.
l ne vacant lot miser is a detriment to
any community. Vacant lot ar of no
earthly good when held merely for specu-
iouuii ana i a seinng price that it pro
hibitive. The adjoining property owners
erect buildings and increase th value of
the lot belonging to th miter. The miter
immediately raises his price but ha
done nothing whatever to add to this in
crease which he put on when building
go up near hi vacant lot. If those va
cant lot were taxed good and heavy the
miser would either let go or put on im
provement. And it would mak
a wonderful difference In the appearance
of the city within a few year. Baker
