Board Will View Property.

Several days, perhaps a week, will be
taken by the county board in viewing
property of persons who declare their
assessments have been too high. The
viewing will be done Immediately after
the sessions of the board as a board of
equalization end next Thursday.
The board has made corrections in per-
sonal property assessments but has de-
clined to order reductions in real estate
assessments until it has had n chance to
see the property. The assessments this
year only are on improvements that have
been completed since March l, last, there
having been no reassessment of real
property this year.
The property on which complaints as to
assessments have been made are sea ttered
over a good deal of territory, and for that
reason will require considerable time to
view. After seeing the property the board
will decide whether not reductions
should be made.
