VALUATION MAY
Be RAISED HERE
Goodrich Officials Say Not
Enough Revenue is Being
RENTED in County.

Because South Berd is not fur
nishing enough revenue for Indiana
from the present valuation placed
on personally here. residents will
likely find their ASSESSED personally
valuation raised from 10 10 20 per-
cent, according 20 appointees Of Gov.
Goodrich. who held a long distance
conversation with County Auditor
Arthur Wolf here Tuesday.
Il am sure that there are wealthy
men here who are not listing the
correct valuation of their personally
with the county assessor, said Mr..
Wolf. and for that reason the re-
msinder Of the county must suffer.
There seems to be no way Of get
ting at these fellows except by the
employment of a tax ferret but we
have had an unsatisfactory expert
ence with them also he said.
The valuation submitted TO the
state upon st. Joseph county's per
sonalty does not satisfy the state
tax commission. according 10 one
