EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
FOLLOW OPEN HEARING
Grays HarbOr County Representative
Objects to Unjust Penalty
of Recent Years.

West side county assessors yester-
day added their pleas in support OF
lower assessed valuations as basis
for 1922 taxes to those already heard
by the state board of equalization
Assessors from the smaller counties
gave way to representatives Of King
Pierce and Grays Harbor counties on
the ground that their cases were so
similar no added presentation need
be made.
Frank w. Hull, assessor of King
county, asserted that there had been
net loss of $1,000,000 in property
valua lions in King county this year
through failure of the shipyards and
that all property had been shown
some decline in value. Eighty-five
per cent of King county's taxes falls
on Seattle, he said, adding that Seat
tie property values have been figured
too high. He asked consideration
for this condition in fixing King
county's ratio.
Austin Takes Exception.
Harry C. Austin, Pierce county
assessor, took exception to the state
ment of representative Of the North
ern Pacific railroad before the board
Wednesday that assessors were not
making an effort to assess on SO
per cent valuation. Austin asserted
that the assessors were coming near
to the the correct SO per cent valua-
ton as it is humanity possible to do.
other business, like the railroads,
have been hit by depression, and
should be accorded. the same con-
sideration by the state board as is
given the railroads.
E. B. Benn, representing the as
SCISSOR, the county commissioners and
the Taxpayers League of Grays Har-
Dor county, said his county had been
penalized heavily in recent years,
especially in 1920, by great increases
in assessed valuation out Of proper
ton with increases in other counties
of the state. From $40 per capita
in 1919, Grays Habor county taxes
had increased to SIS per capita in
1920, he said. He complained that
Grays Harbor county had been as
sessed by the state for Is per cent OF
the logging railroads of the state
wheareas a check of the mileage
showed that out of total OF over
1000 miles of such roads Grays Har-
Dor county had approximately 261
miles, or about 10 per cent. The
county also was assessed for 10 per
cent of the manufacturing plants OF
the state when in comparison with
King, Pierce, Snohomish, Whatcom
and others, whereas Grays Harbor's
proportion Of mills and manufactur-
ing plants was much smaller.
Data and afidavits purporting to
show the injustice of past taxation
in the county were presented to the
board with a request for relief.
Yesterdays session ended the pub
lie hearings before the board. Execu-
tive session Will not be held, covering
from two to three weeks, in which
will be determined the equalized as
sessed valuation Of the state and the
! ratios for the various counties.
