Yesterday was the last day for re
ceivlng assessment complaints by the
County Board of Equalisation. Today
consideration or tne protests will be
taken ud bv the board, consisting of
Assessor Reed. County Clerk Coffey
and Circuit Judre Cleeton. and the re
malnder of the month, or as much of It
as may be necessary, will be devoted
to this work. The total number on file
Is a few more than 800.
The Columbia Laundry Company
asks a cut from S7100 to 12600. The
James L Marshall Manufacturing Com
pany requests that an assessment 01
13000 on money, notes and accounts be
eliminated. The Concordia Club is com
plaining against assessment on fur
nishings of its club at S10 Morrison
street on the ground that It is an ed
ucational and literary organization.
The most important protest filed Is
that of the Multnomah Amateur Atn

an assessment of J 2 13.000 on the club"s

plained against on the theory that the
rlub Id an educational organization and
entitled to exemption for this reason.
This Is one of the numerous clubs, pre
. viously exempt, which Assessor Reed
decided should pay taxes.
Rebate Asked for Yacht.
D. Jf. and E. "Walter & Co. demand a
reduction for 125,600 to $17,500 on mer
chandise and the wiping out of an as
sessment of $5000 on money, notes ana
accounts on the ground that all the
books of the firm are kept in San
Francisco.
The T. B. Potter Realty Company
says that the yacht Bayocean was sold
In February and asks cancellation Of
an assessment of $7600.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany says that the local branch is
purely a selling organization and does
no collecting. For this reason jauuo
on money, notes and accounts should
be cancelled, the protest urges.
The Weyerhaeuser Land Company
says it had only $3401.19 In the bank
-iiarcn x ana wants a reaucimn irum
$5000 to this sum on money, notes and
accounts.
The Enterprise Brewing Company
thinks an assessment of $13,650 should
not be more than $4000.
The Willamette Iron and Stoel
. Works, assessed $262,150. declares that
-ls as much as its competitors combined
are assessed, and wants a cut to $140,-
000.
Iroa Companies to Fight.
Last Summer when the assessments
were being made the Willamette Com
pany wanted to show down with its
competitors on values, but an agree
ment was not reached. Finally it was
decided that Mr. Reed should make ar
bitrary assessments and the fight
would be made before the Board of
Equalization. The principal competi
tors Involved are the Smith & Watson
Iron Works and the Portland Iron
Works.
The Multnomah Trunk and Bag Com
pany wants $13,000 cut off Its assess
ment of $25,600.
The United States Cast Iron Pipe
and Foundry Company, a New Jersey
corporation with a branch in Portland,
was assessed $18,500 on money, notes
and accounts. The company contends
that it should be exempt entirely, as
all collecting Is done for Oregon from
New Jersey, and under any theory pro
tests that the assessment should not
be more than $6667.68. which is 60 per
cent of its Oregon book accounts on
March 1, the assessment date.
Assessor Reed is drawing a great
many protests from foreign firms sim
llarly situated. He has gone on the
theory that the mere fact that collect
ing is done from outside the state is
no reason why taxation should be es
caped. Most of his assessments against
such concerns have been arbitrary and
there seems to be a unanimous desire
on their part to squirm out.
Hotel Valuation Raised.
The J. I. Case Threshing Machine
Company, head office Racine, Wis., is
another concern on hand with a sim
iiar kick against an assessment of
$10,000 on money, notes and accounts.
The books are kept at Racine, the com
plaint asserts.
The R. R. Thompson Estate Company
thinks the Assessor must have made
mistake when he raised the assessment
on the Multnomah Hotel building from
$400,000 to $500,000.
A reduction from $17,350 to $8900 is
demanded by the Frank L. Smith Meat
Company..
Sheriff Word and J. A. Black, who
own 9.81 acres on Ella Heights, want
the valuation cut from $9720 to
$4414.50.

The Mount Hood Railway Develop'

Proctor, Gillis. Bristol and Talbot ad
ditions are assessed much higher than
lots in adjoining subdivisions.
Filers' Music House is assessed a to
tal of $138,100, of which $60,000 is on
money, notes and accounts, which is
considered much too high.
Dr. William L. Wood, who owns sev
