Complaints May Then Be Made and

Given Large Advances.

- After raising assessed valuations

. 'at<Whlch time those who object ID
the raise in their valuations will be
given a. hearing. The increases we're
made mainly on the recommendation
of c. W. Conway and 1. B. Olson.
One of the largest increases was
given the Crookston Lumber company
when the valuation of it's property
in Bemidji was raised from $24S,S00
to $52S ,25O. As the assessed valua-
tions are supposed to be fifty per cent
of the actual value, it would appear
that the Crookston Lumber company
has over S 100000 invested in plant,
raw and finished material in Bemidji.
Out side Of the city of Bemidji, the
increases in nearly every case are
with firms or individuals engaged in
some branch of the lumber business.
The assessments of the National Pole
and Tie company were more than
doubled, as were also those of the
Clark Pole and Tie company in some
instances. The E. A. Engler Lumber
company, at Baudette, came in for an
increase of $4,000; the Bemidji
Lumber company for $4,000; the
Partridge Dyer Lumber company for
$4,000; and the St. Croix Pine and
Cedar company for $4,000.
In the city of Bemidji, Gill Broth
ers were given raise of $4,000; the
Berman Emporium and C. o. D. store
of $500; the Schneider Brothers Of
$4,000; F. G. Troppman, OLeary and
Bowser, $4,000 each; W. G.. Schroed-
er $4,000; and Geo. T. Baker and
company and E. A. Barker, $2,1OO
each.
The assessments of the Crookston
Lumber company in the town of Du-
rand and of Robert Molliter in the
town of Lakewood were cancelled as
being double assessments. The coun-
ty board of equalization is composed
of the county commissioners and the
county auditor. All were present at
the meeting last week except Com
missioner Clementson of the second
district.
A full report of the proceedings of
the board, together with list of the
increase in assessments, will be found
