Councilman Albrecht reported to the city council Inst night that tho Coos County Board of Equalization had rescinded most of the ndvnnces in assessments of Mnrshtlcld property which he and City Engineer Buck ingham had urged. He said that af ter they had hnd their hearing the property owners were called In and the old assessment agreed upon again. He said that the assessments In Bennett's Addition nnd Nnsburg Ad dition, near Ferndale, whore they hnd the assessments raised from about $40 per lot to $140, In Per ham Park and some other places, wore set back at the old llgure. About the only advances that the city had advocated that hnd been al lowed to stand were those In Bnll-i road AddlMon, where the Inequality was not' nearly ns great as those that had been set back to the old ' figure. Mr. Albrecht said that It was a shame that the oath token by prop erty owners In listing their property for assessment wns so flngrantly violated. He said that the big prop erty owners thus e.-cnped paying their share, making It harder on the poor, nnd the tnx dodger was the cnuso of much of tho unrest. He said the council ought to petition the leglslnture, If necessary, to com pel more equitable assessments.
