PROTEST ON ASSESSMENTS
Lands Are valued Too
Low.

A committee from the Council Bluffs
Commercial club consisting Of H. w.
Binder, F. ]. Day Emmett Tinley, G. w.
Mcdonald and A. ID. Annis appeared before
the County Board of Supervisors yester-
day to protest against what the CONNER
cial club regards as a discrimination against
Council Bluffs in the matter of the equal
ization of values as the basis OF taxation.
On Wednesday the board had equslized
the values Of farm lands in the county,
fixing the average value per acre in the
several townships at from $40 to $5S The
values as reported by the assessors ranged
from SA to $50, so that a considerable
raise-approximately so an acre in most Of
the townships-had been decided upon by
the supervisors.
This. however, was not satisfactory to
property owners in Council Bluffs. as rep
resented by the Commercial club. and the
protest Of yesterday followed. The COM
mittee represented to the board that a
comparison of actual sales of city property
and agricultural lands in the county the
past year would show that while nearly all
farm lands passed at nearly double the
| figures fixed for the assessment, city prop
erty in many instances barely passed at
the figures on which the assessment was
based. They claimed to the board that
! this state OF facts warranted a still greater
raise in the values Of farm lands, so that
this class of property would bear It's due
proportion of the taxes along with the
! city property. The members of the COM
mittee insisted that city property is being
assessed at it's real value and that in
justice the agricultural lands also ought
to be so assessed.
No action was taken on the matter. but
the board appeared to feel inclined to dis
regard the protest of the Commercial club.
| claiming that there was much land in the
county that was really not worth nearly
so much as shown by the equalized figures.
| Taking good and bad land all into con-
sideration, the board seemed to think that
1t had struck fair averages for the several
| townships The protesting committee In
| sisted, however that lands that have been
and are selling at from s75 to 800 an acre
ought to be assessed at something like
those figures in order that there shall be
no discrimination against the owners OF
city property.
In equalizing the values of lands within
incorporated towns the board made but
one change from the figures reported by
the assessors. That was in the case of
Carson. where per cent increase was
ordered.
The board had before It yesterday the
first bill rendered by the state for the ex-
pense of boarding dipsomaniacs at the
state insane asylum during their confne-
ment and treatment. This bill was for
$3.50 for the board of three patients for
varying periods. The board voted to allow
the bill and charge 1t to the insane fund.
Many of the counties of the state have
Totten into disputes with the state off,
iials over the payment Of these bills.
Among the claims allowed by the board
were bills amounting to $50 bounty for
wolf scalps.
There are pending before the board bills
to the amount of &401.72 on account of
smallpox cases These bills were hung up
pending investigation.
