JUDGE
SAPPINGTON
Defines his Position on Equal-
ization.
Two weeks since the H kadlight gave
the following paragraph in the local
jottings:
County Assessor Stephens has footed
up the totals since the board of equaliza­
tion adjourned, which gave £1,090,918
taxable property in the county and
$96.496 in the city. Judge Sappington
declines to sign the report of the board of-
equalization. He claims that a lot of
property in Tillamook county is not
assessed high enough. Unfortunately
the Judge was sick and unable to attend
when the board had the question under
consideration. •’
Some people have misconstrued this,
thinking that Judge Sappington was in
tavor of raising the assessment all over the
county. This is is not so, only in certain
locations for the purpose of making the
assessments equal. Judge Sappington
has a right to lx- heard, and the citizens
are curious to know his reasons for
declining to sign the board of equaliza­
tion report. He occupied the editor's
chair in our sanctum and submitted to
us the following statement for publica­
tion:
In your locals of the issue of Oct. 20th.
you say that—“Judge Sappington i de-
clines to sign the report of the board of
equalization.”
Which is correct. “He claims that a
lot of property in Tillamook County is
not assessed high enough.” This is not
correct and is misleading, making it ap.
jx-ar that I wish to raise the assessed
price of property or at least a lot of it.
I have never had a thought of
raising the price of any property
in fillamook County except for the
purpose of equalizing it, which I main­
tain is the duty of the board and
theone for which it was created, and be.
lieving that the board has failed to per.
form the duties of said board, as laid
down by law, is my reason for refusing
to sign said report.
For the benefit of your many readers
I will mention a few eases wherein I
think that there is unequal assessments:
"Land on the road that runs east from
I illamook City, the Fairview road. Land
along this road with few exceptions is
rated at $10 per acre; that of F. Sever,
ance was rated at $17 per acre; Eli
Goods|ieed's rated at $20 per acre, but
in every instant where land extended to
what is known as bottom land was
assessed at a lower rate.
Second, the land on the Bay City road,
running north from Tillamook City, was
rated at from $4 to $7 per acre, These
lands are considered the best in Tilbi.
mook County anil can lx sold for from
$f>0 to $100 per acre, while the other
land mentioned first goes lagging for a
buyer at from $40 to $50 |xr acre.
Third, there is land assessed that lavs
side by side, two pieces, one rated at $7
per acre the other $4 per acre. Take
the farm of Peter Brant, lying on the
north side of Wilson river, assessed at
$1OO. This is less than one third of the
price it has beta rented for for eight
years; also the William Johnson farm,
divided equal with his five children^
