The State Tax Commission today
was stopped from trying to assess
property 20 per cent more than n
was worth. In 1910. one hundred
farms in Wells Township. Jefferson

arbitrarily added 20 per cent TO the
valuation The owners OF the prop
erty brought suit and lost in the Com
mon Pleas Court. but the case was
carried to the Appellate Court on an
agreed statement OF facts, namely.
That the property had been appraised

court held that II could not be put
on the duplicate for more than II was
worth and granted an Injunction
The Supreme Court affirmed that
