The Dickinson press., 1912-06-22
COUNCIL FINISH MONDAY
hear PROTESTS SAT.

The city council finished its work as
an equalization board Monday night ex-
cept for the meeting set for Saturday
night, June 22nd. to hear protests from
those who have had their valuations
pushed I'D more than Is per cent.
The board has been over the assess
ment returns of Walter Sterland very
carefully and it is not likely that many
if any changes will be made. A year
ago the councilmen stood firmly by
their work and did not make a single
change OIL the date set for final review.
Assessor Sterland appears to have
done his work we'll and every n who
knows him expected that he would.
The PRESS dives herewith lists of
the personal assessments of most of the
business firms in Dickinson or those
which were taken under consideration
al the Monday night session. In many
cases the assessor took the figures of
1911 placed on stocks of goods, leaving
the equalizing for the aldermen, real
izing that IL men would be able to ar
rive at a much more equal assessment
than n man could possibly make.
The first set of figures are the one
placed on the books by the assessor and
the second set, if any. are the figures
placed on the property by the council
