hb|e to Persuade Board to
Reduce Assessments
BERGMAN OBJECTS TO IT
Declares Other Watertown Prop
erty Was Similarly Valued
Struthers Explains Action

Thomas Mosgrove was able to get a
reduction of close to $4,000 in his as
sessment on his Watertown addition at
the morning session of the county
board of equalization. The reduction
was made, it is said, over the protests
Of Assessor Bergman. who says he
assessed Watertown property re-
naming in the hands of Mr.. Mosgrove
at the same figure he did for residents
who own property in the new resi-
dence district
Commissioner Struthers, in explain
ing the reductions, stated that the only
lots on which the assessments were
reduced were those lying on the east
side of Watertown addition. The lots
more favorably located were only
touched where it was found they had
been assessed higher than property
adjoining.
The assessments were made on q
basis of $140 an acre for lots located
in the eastern part of the tract. Resi-
dents in that section say the valua-
tions allowed by the board are en-
tirely too low and point out that not
single lot in WatertOwn can be
bought for less than $3.50 and from
that up to $500 and $500.
The assessment on 1S lots in block
10 were reduced from $164O to $72O.
| making the assessed valuation at $40
lot Whole blocks were assessed
at $40 lot while others were re-
duced from so to 100 per cent. In
! block c., lots were assessed from SO
to $3.50 each, depending on the loca-
ton.
The board declined to grant any re-
duction on lots in blocks 8, 4 and S,
which are said to be the choicest in
the whole tract. The total reduction
allowed by the board was $4975.
Lizzie Baker, owning land in the
Ransom Clark donation claim was
granted reduction of 1880 on her
assessment, the final figures being
$475O H. A. Reynolds assessment on
lands in the Ransom Clark donation
claim, situated just south of the city
was reduced from $11,320 to $9050 on
a showing by Mr.. Reynolds that his
land was assessed at higher figure
than the adjoining acreage. The appli-
cation of E. H. Nixon for a reduction
on his Garden City Heights property
was rejected.
The Walla Walla Meat & Cold StOr-
age company's assessment was raised
from $4,000 to $4,000 on two items.
The Olson-Cowan company was
raised from $4,000 to $4,000 on it's stock
of implements and buggies.
