There wa-5 no definite reason of
ferod for reducing tho assessed
land value $14.87 per acre, accord
hifr tf AtKHCMftor Coleman, who alat
o,d that as n, result of tho reduction,
tax levies- would necessarily ho
higher on other properties, bring
ing about no saving of money.
it iho refund Im made In canh to
land owners in the nelghhorhood'J
of approximately $12,000 county
warrants-would have to be issued,
necessitating excessive book keep- i
Jjw Tbe nvprayo warrant would J,
be approximately $10, with the
highest running up to $600. To
make up this refund, Ievlon would
be raised for tho next several years
to eover the amount )o.Ht to the
county by the refund, which, in
the opinion of Assessor Coleman,
would bo only nn added expense j
and burden to the taxpayers of thei
county, '
Kxactly $3fl.201.3fi would bo re-1
funded to land owners outside, of!
Incorporated townn and cities, and i
the remainder would ho refunded
to owner of HJlahle property with
In city limits of corporations. Tho
tatter amount, however, would be
very small In comparison to the
first figure.
In vJ'r of tho preaent situation,
no ' definite action will probably
be taken fur somo time.
