Assessor Credits Valuation

millage rate for the 1947-48 fis
cal year will be 72.2, a drop of 3.8
from last year's rate of 76, accord
ing to figures compiled by County

in mnnv nf Lane's cities is due
mainly to the 8 million dollar
I increase in the assessed valuation
!of the county. Last year the coun
ty and state millaKe rate was 13.7;
I this year it will drop to 8.4 mills.

Price Levels
Stock's office uses 1941 levels
a a basis for estimating assessed
valuation of property.
Stock pointed out that lower
millage rates do not necessarily
mean lower taxes for individuals
because there might be a compen
sating rise in the assessed valua
tion of a person's property.
Stock said the Increase in asses
sed valuation- in the various dis
tricts in this area was due to new
construction. He said there would
probably be more increases when
the area is re-assessed for next
year.

third summer concert season
Thursday night with a "request"

gram for the same reason.
The band received new uni
forms this year as part of its re
organization that began with

City Manager Deane Seeger and
Playground Superintendent Don
January were active in supporting
Gilstrap and Stehn in their efforts
to surpass Eugene's pre-war musi

numbers on the program win De

Site Clearing Starts
For 2-Story Building
Clearing of the former Bartle
Court site at Eleventh Ave. E. and
Pearl St. now is under way pre
paratory to construction of a two
story building to house stores and
offices.
Spencer Collins, Miner Build
ing accountant and head of the
Bartle-Swe-mey Corp. which owns
the property, said his accountants
would be housed in second-story
offices. It was Collins and his
group of associates who attempted
to buy the Miner Building in Eu
gene by offering a higher price
than that paid by a group of local
physicians.
Collins said the new building
will be 100 feet wide on Eleventh
Ave. and 80 feet on Pearl St. Com
pletion is hoped for by January 1.
A theater ultimately will be con
structed on the Eleventh Ave. side
of the site, but Collins said no
date for its erection had been set.
Ralph Beardsworth is architect for
the new store and office struc
ture; Stien Brothers are the contractors.
