10 COUNCIL


- UA0 116y council met IN Spec1al 6eS-
9SA 1ae1day evening to receive the re-
pot q tie board Of equalization, which
It approved. sS
Chg water proposition was also dis
cussed and it is planned snat the con-
nittee, which 10 composed of all mem
be1s of~the cnnncil, have a number OF
meetings in an eudeayor to arrive at
some definite proposal. It is planned
to make a report at the August meet
ing Of the council.
In relation to the work and methods
Of the board Of equalization. Mayor
Berghoim made recommendations to the
council as follows:
The board of equalization has just
finished it's work for this year ana
in that connection I wish to make
q few suggestions and recommends
lions to your honorable Dody:
We find that the assessor is very
competent and conscientious and has
done very good work in assessing
this city, but the time allowed MN
is SO short that even with assistance
it is impossible for him to make
thorough examination Of all the prop
erty to be assessed and especially
in the year when both real and per-
sonal property is assessed. The time
allowed the Board of Equalization Tor
review is ALSO very short, being just
one week, that it can only take up
and settle assessments that may De
disputed and cannot attempt to re-
view the whole assessment. From
my experiences with the matter OF
assessment OF city property, have
cons to the conclusion that we will
nQA Aesable to reach all the property
(. Oh ,as5sye at fair and equitable as
sGant until we can make q
talpeoDgh Investigation and examin-
adm Of oil the property within the
citE limits, and have q fair value
plaee& thereon.
u my opinion such an investiga-
ton would undoubtedly bring to light
proDdzky that has heretofore escaped
taxation altogether, and other prop
er4y which has not been fully taxed,
In short, the purpose of the investi-
cation would be to find and examine
all taxable property within the city
and place a fair and accurate value
thereon so as to equalize- the taxes
and il possible raise the total value
of our city property and thereby re-
duce the rate Of taxation.
], therefore, respectfully recon-
mend that the present assessor make
the above mentioned investigation
and that he be paid so much per
month for the time that he puts in
on this work, and that he file his re-
port at the end OF each month for
the property thus examined, with the
city clerk. That the city clerk call a
meeting OF, the Board of Equalization
for the purpose Of going over this re-
port with the assessor, and that the
values be determined at such meet
ing and attached to the description
of each property and that thereupon
said report be filed with the clerk
for use of future assessors of city
property. -.
