Assessor Cain Says Assessed
Valuation Should Be

Through an error in assessment, the
taxable valuation Of property in FL

instead Of s75, 600. 900 or sSo,oe0.00o. &C
cording 20 county assessor J. T. Cain
IN going over the assessments which
have been made, assessor Cain has made
reductions of some 100000 he says
through the fact that many pieces OF
property had not been assessed prop
erly-
Regarding the movement Tor the
equalization of taxation said Mr. Cain,
L believe there must be something
wrong when the total assessed valua-
ton of city property is S5S.O00,ooc. and
Of the county property only s55,ooo,e00.
There are many large properties,
such as the cement plant. which are
outside the city limits. which. when
assessed properly. will increase the
county valuation considerably
Makes Total Reductions 100000.
in going over the assessments when
have been made, / have been able 10
make reductions of some 100000,
through the fact that much property
has been assessed unevenly. In many
cases property has been assessed mere
~ by lots. or the amount of ground
included in it without regard 10 the
true value Lots in poor locations have
neen assessed AT the same E4iLe as many
lots in much better locations.
With the equalization OF taxation,
the valuation of the county should be
increased to more than S15.000.OO0.
Property owners who have been missed
by the collector should come to this
