AtMCUUd Pna) Malabar Audit Bonn ClreoioUoB Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY A FEW weeks ago a local citizen became Interested in a piece of city-owned prop ertv and wanted to buy it. He was dissatisfied, however, with the price which had been set on the lot by the city's appraisal board. That price was 5400. At his request, a re-appraisal was made. The appraisal board looked over the property, and gave it a new appraised value of $600. Instead of getting a reduc tion, as he had hoped, he was confronted with a 50 per cent increase In the city's price for the lot Thl stnrv mav be regarded as indicative of the trend of EPLET appraised values of city property. It has been two or three years since appraisals were made on most of the city-owned lots, and new ap praisals appear likely to up the price. There may be a hint in that situation for persons in terested in acquiring property from the city. City Lots Move WHEN we heard about' the above-menuonea Incident.this week, we did a little check ing into the city's real estate situation, and learned some interesting news. City property is moving quite rapidly now. Twenty-one city lots have already been sold in May, as compared with 12 lots in all of May, 1944. The property sold this May was valued at $9,517.91, as compared with $2,425 last May. In April, the city unloaded 15 lots, with a value of $5,775. The city has on hand approximately 1050 Insurable lots, with an appraised value of $243, 428. There are 24 uninsurable city lots, valued at $8,810. That makes an inventory of 1074 lots with a. value of $252,238. On June. 30, 1944, the city had 1305 lots, valued at ' $293,678.80. More than $40,000 ' worth of property has been sold by the city in the present fiscal year, with a month or so yet to go. That is good news. It means the city is getting back all or a part of its capital interest in these lots, and the property is going back on the tax-rolls. Furthermore, because these lots are sold at their appraised value, based on current real estate market conditions, their disposal is not a disturbing factor in the local, real estate situation. . Hopeful. Signs THE city, as most readers know, acquired all of this property through foreclosures on improvement liens. The 1305 lots owned by the city last June represented a high mark in city property owner ship. Since then, there has not only been steady sale of lots, but delinquencies and fore closures have rapidly diminished. Many people who own property against which there are improvement liens have paid ahead of due dates on their installments, and some have uaid them completely off. They have wisely taken the opportunity of clearing their property of this indebtedness during an "easy money period. There have been so few delinquencies that foreclosures have almost stopped. The fact the city still owns more than 1000 lots is not to be taken lightly, but there are hopeful signs. The situation has steadily improved. In the police judge's office Is a big map of the city, with pins stuck in the map to indicate every city-owned lot Every time a pin comes out, the city has recovered cash from a piece of property, and the assessed value in Klamath Falls has risen a bit. It is to be hoped a lot of pins will be pulled from the map in the forthcoming year. The War Today By Dawrrr msckenzie I HAVE received a letter from an old friend. I Col. Bernard LaPorte, now a member of the French delegation to the United Nations se curity conference at San Francisco, and per haps you will be interested in my purely per sonal reply: "My Dear LaForte: "It's grand to see France back on her feet and playing her part in this historic conference which means so much to humanity. It must be a vast satisfaction to have a part in this historic conference which means so much to humanity. It must be a vast satisfaction to you to be serving your country in this capacity, after fighting for her in those tragic days of the German triumph and then continuing the bitter struggle as an exile in the ranks of the uncon querable De Gaulle. And it's gratifying to your friends, who also are France's friends, that things have worked out so well." Good News 1 l A HAT makes me particularly happy, VY Bernard, is to see President Truman extend, and General De Gaulle accept an in vitation to a conference between these two statesmen. That meeting is badly needed, for things haven't been as happy as they ought to be between La Belie France and some of her allies. In raising this subject I am, of course, speaking to an old friend. Let's see, it's about 28 years since you and I first met on a battle-field of World War I in France, since then we've been pretty close. 'The original differences between General De Gaulle and the Anglo-American team struck me as being partly due to a clash of person alities, but very largely to mutual suspicions. Nasty things, suspicions! When 1 was in Lon don in '42 it was said that some folk were afraid De Gaulle had personal ambitions. And the general for his part was said to have fair grounds for thinking an effort was being made to smother him. a Bitterness Grows 1 1 UT of this have grown 'inc and bitterness. I have the feeling that suspicions most of which have! little or no foundation are the basis for most of the recent difficulties. France, still suffering from the terrible blow she sustained in the war, fears that she has lost her place in the councils of " the mighty. Well, she hasn't lost her place, ' but one can regard her feelings with sympa thetic understanding. "One can understand, too, her inclination to try to protect her interests. Undoubtedly the other allies could have made matters easier if they had devoted more energy to the project. "France has a mighty part to play in the regeneration of Europe. We hope, by the way, that you folk out in San Francisco are forging a real peace. Don't let -it get away from us this time as it did at Versailles, where you and I saw the present war get its start" Lanqell Valley Mrs. William C.
