Hear .All Aboard for Blanket
Bay" by Baby Ken Hull Last time
tonight at Airdome
because assessors of Louisa county
refused to assess farm property on the
same basis as railroad property, big
fight has been precipitated in that
locality The trouble started when an
assessment was made on a bridge
owned by the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
railroad, which cost S474,000 on IS
per cent of its value. officers of the
road objected to the assessment on
the ground that it should have been
made on the same basis as farm prop
erty was assessed, which was at the
rate of 40 per cent of the actual value.
The officials claim that their objection
was ignored by the board of review.
Then they employed large number
of men, made complete investigation
of every assessment made on farm
property in the county and took an
appeal from 1t to the district court
The action was so unusual and caused
such big surprise that the officials
say they have had no difficulty in re
ducing their assessments to the same
basis as other real estate.
