the county auditor and treasurer from
proceeding farther towards collecting
taxes on the 1919 assessment, former

mond has been kept busy answering in
quiries made BY persons who are an
xious TO have a part in the work.
He has not selected the secretary for
the organization which was started at
the meeting at the city hall Wednesday
evening. but hopes TO find the right man
soon. Considerable work will fall upon
the secretary as he will have to investi-
gate each claim made by persons who
are dissatisfied with their assessments.
I'm kept busy answering telephone
calls all the time at the Office" said Mr..
Friedrich this morning. Scores of cases
have been brought to his attention in
which property owners believe they have
had their valuations boosted TO figures
which are really absurd. Many of them
would be perfectly willing to sell their
property at the prices which the assess
ors fixed but they know that they can
get only fraction of the sum.
From the widespread interest which
is being displayed it will be necessary
TO hold the meeting next Wednesday
evening in a much larger hall as the
council chamber at the city hall Will
be far too small. The petitions for
membership in the organization are be-
ing prepared today and it is hoped to
have some of them in circulation before
the end of the week.
