Petitions for Hearing on
Corporation Taxes.

Five appeals 20 the Indiana state
tax board relative to the assessment
OF corporations I'm South Bend and
Mishawaka By the county board Of
review at their recent session, were
filed with Clarence Sedgwick, county
auditor Monday. Four OF the appeals
are made by city officials and citizens
while the fifth is an objection TO the
assessment Of a franchise.
Asserting that the assessment Of
the Northern Indiana Gas a Electric
Co, and the Chicago. South Bend and
Northern Indiana railways Co. fran
chise is too low, Mayor Ralph W. Gay
Tor OF Mishawaka and other citizens
have asked for a hearing OF the mat
ter before the state board, requesting
that the assessments be Increased.
Eli r. Seebirt, city attorney OF South
Bend has appealed TO the state board
for an increase Of the assessment of
the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric
Co, and the Indiana and Michigan
Electric Co, asserting that the valua-
ton as placed by the county assessor
and board OF review is placed too low.
An appeal from the assessment Of
$1,000 was made by the Chicago.
South Bend and Northern Indiana
railway Co. upon the grounds that the
board OF review had no Jurisdiction
over the franchise Of the company anc
acted illegally in assessing the fran
chise. This objection was placed be-
fore the board at the time of the
hearing on the matter but was over
ruled.
City Attorney Seebirt in his appeal
TO the state board states that the as
sessment of 100000 made by the
board OF review should be $500 600
and asks the state board to increase
the valuation accordingly. The same
assertion is made relative TO the IEdi-
ana and Michigan Electric Co.

ments were Mayor Gaylor, r. NJ Bar
