"Dave is perfectly capable of taking

business requires the Staying Of count
less fowl, but those Of Japan do not
do so without tender regret for the
spiritual welfare of their feathered

This is shown by the fact that Toxic

which a general mass will be said in
order to convey comfort for the spirits
of the chickens and other feathered
creatures slain during the past year.
The event will be attended by 800

CITIZENS IN
ARMS OVER
c 0 I'm TY
VALUES
In Some Instances County
Values Are Four Times
as Much as City Values;
Discrimination Between
City and County Charged

Gross discrimination between city
and county tax valuations and as
ments in the city of FL Centr0
has been charged by a number Of
local citizens. who have already
consulted legal talent 20 see wnat
means can be taken To rectify the
matter.
/ With the mailing out of the tax
statements which are due some time
during this month large numbers of
Fl Centre citizens have been dumb
founded to find that their taxes have
been increased three and four times
over that of last year. The claim is
made that if property values were
properly assessed the total amount of
taxes secured would be the same and
he burden would NOT be unjustlyI
bourne.
Several instances of alleged dis
elimination are being cited by these
sessments are unfair.
One corner lot on the principal side
street in the city, two blocks north OF
Main street was last year assessed at
5000 by the city. This year this lot
was assessed at $1,000 by the city. The
county valuation last year was SlIOO
and this year was more than doubled
the valuation being placed at $4,000 or
four times what the city valuation is.
Yesterday the owner offered 10 sell
the lot for $1,000 and stated that he
had already paid over $700 paving
taxes and had about $500 more to
pay.
This owner who was protesting at
the unequal valuation pointed out that
in the county all valuations are on
the flat basis of 500 an acre, whereas
much of this land is selling today all
the way from 5000 TO $400 an acre.
He stated that he would have to pay
on this vacant lot of his as much water
tax as man who owns 40 acres, this
added to the fact that his land is as
sessed for more than he can sell it for,
while the country land is assessed at
half or third of actual value.
Another man, who owns a seventy
five foot front on Main street near
Fifth, has an annual income of $1,000
from this piece of property. This year,
he finds that his taxes will amount 10
$1,000.
Still another man who has several
vacant lots in the vicinity of the de-
pot finds that his tax bill will be
$4,000.
Ali of these alleged excessive tax
statements have been brought about
by false valuations and not entirely by
high tax rates, according to those who
are affected. They declare that on
vacant lots they are being forced to
pay as much water tax as the man
with ranch in the country.
One man yesterday, who owns
number of scattered lots around the
city, said that his water lax was
equal to the man who owns $50 acres
in the country, and he said that it
was brought about by high county
valuations.
Instance of where county valua ions
ere twice what the city valuation is,
in the FL Centre business district are
many. 1t is said that no vacant lot
has been sold in the past few months
btween 9th and 7th on Main for $1,000
