Protests From North Town
ship Reach State Board
of Equalization at State
Capital.

The state board of tax commits
sioners has issued formal notice of
its session TO equalize both real and
personal property assessments fix
ed in the counties, and has desig-
mated August II, as tie day for
hearing complaints from Lake
county. The session will emo Sat
urday evening August 10.
The board has issued notice to
County Auditor Foland, and also
issued notices to Taxpayers with
the request that Sheriff Barnes

ty courthouses.
WILL BOOST MARION co.

payer. assessed locally. for re-assess-
ment. The state board wherever it
deems necessary. may cause an increase
or decrease in the ASSESSMENTS of the
real or personal property of any taxing
unit. The board may during the equali-
cation sessions. consider individual as
sessments.
It Is expected that the state board Will
take some definite action on the assess
ments of Marion county at the session
August IL. Fred Sims. chairman OF the
board, recently declared that the board
would see TO ii that the aggregate as
sessment Of Marion county would be in
creased to more than $500 900. This

~ is assessed for $550.00O 900 or only
