Only Paper Streets Out There.
W. N. Frew makes vigorous appeal. He
is assessed $4,000 on seven acres ON Fifth,
near Shady avenue and $144, COO on 81 acres
on Shady avenue. near Fifth. His total
assessment, including buildings, is 1928 500,
and his appeal is for q valuation of $l74, 533.
He first demands rural classification for the
seven-acre tract and agricultural for the
other because it is used only for orchard and
covered with paper streets that can never
on account of the topography of the land be
opened up, as Chief Bigelow and City En-
gineer Brown have admitted, and yet he has
unsuccessfully tried to get streets opened
through, which would be practicable and inn
prove the land He asks the city to give him
proper street locations and then there will
be some justification for the high valuations
assessed. He objects generally to the high
valuations on his property there being no
recent sales near him to justify the assess
or's figures.
