n RAISE lilt
ASSESSL'EfiTS
WARRENTON MEN ASK BOARD
OF EQUALIZATION TO IN
CREASE VALUES.
W. P. Horner of Warrenton and
other citizens of that place, yestcr
day filed a communication with the
board of equalization, protesting
aeainst the assessment on certain
property in the vicinity of Warren
ton. But this protest is an uiuisua
one, for it avers that the property in
question is not assessed high enough
Presumably it is not owned by the
gentlemen who make the protest.
Mr. Horner presents an affidavit
and other Affidavits of the same na
ture are also filed in the communica
tion, to the effect that the property
in question namely, The Plaza
Warrenton Park, North Plaza, and
Unton Square should be valued at
10 per cent of the stated selling price
of the lots; that is, that the value
Mr. Cornelius, the assessor, should
have recorded against the -property
should be 10 per cent of the prices
asked for the lots in the market
Some of the lots are listed at $100
each, other less, and others more.
It is further stated that the as
sessed valuation recorded by the
county assessor is only about 2 per
cent of the market selling prices,
though this does not appear of
record.
The situation is rather an odd one.
Walter , C Smith platted most of
these properties and owns much of
them still, and those who wish the
assessment raised perhaps do so
from several motives, one possible
motive being that it may be better
for the real etate market there if
property is assessed at somewhere
near'what it is listed at in the real
estate market. "V '
But th board of equalization was
not impressed by the protest and it
was denied. 5 Mf. Cornelius said that
he did not estimate the value of the
properties by ,what they are bringing
in the) jmarket rtoday-rthat he does
not make estimates on boom prices,
on fictitious values of any kind, nor
does he' attempt to follow the rise
and fall of values as the realty mar
ket happens to rise or fall but that
he makes- hUssessments on what
he under all the circumtances judges
the property to be worth. Mr. Cor
nelius' plan of making values seems
to , give satisfaction upon the whole,
and in all the complaints or criticisms
made to theboard this week, it did
not chartee'f'the"- assessment in a
single, ca5ewThe only changes, made
during the week by the board were
when mistakes were found, and
some mistakes are bound to creep
in. ; .
The board of equalization will
probabTyradjourn " tomorrow, It is
waiting tp hear from the assessor of
Columbia .county, on the A. & C.
rolling stock assessment, i This mat
ter has 'not yet been straightened
OUt. ' ,
The stbry ift the Astorian ; yester
day about the protest against, the in
crease of , assessments on unimprov
ed lots in the city limits, from $1 to
$2. each, has a little sequal worthy
of being recorded. Yesterday it was
figured out that on the previous as
sessment of $1 each on these lots,
most of them paid an actual tax of
but 3 cents per lot. In the case of
non-residents it usually ; costs more
than 3 cents to 'collect the tax. If
a r.on-resident owned such a lot, it
costs the -labor, paper, envelope and
a 2-cent stamp to notify him of the
tax. Then he sent in the 3 cents, at
an extra cost of a 2-cent stamp' to
himself. Then the tax office must
return his receipt to him, at another
cost of cent. In the end the county
has made niching and is' out its sta
tionary anI the labor and time of its
officials., And this . has been going
on for years.
