The State Tax Commission was here
Tuesday and held session at the city
hall to discuss mining tax matters.
The commission consisted of j. c..
y. L.
with Rukard Hurd as secretary. The
commission went on record in their
statement that the mines were being
assessed on their profits and not on the
ad valorem values Of the property.
Several of those present asked questions
of the commission but the mistake was
made of comparing the Vermilion ores
| with those of the MeSaba range. Prices
were said to be 1884 a ton and beSSemer
| grades at 1894 ton at lower lake ports.
A. j. Thomas, George l.. Brozich and
/ Mayor Harri spoke for the city and
recommended a raise in valuations.
Supt. Charles Trezona and Assistant
Supt w. A McCudy spoke for the
mining companies. The impression was
general that instead of valuation of
less than three millions, the valuation
should be at least six or eight millions.
1t was pointed out that the Mesaba
range towns, whose ores are not COM
parable to ours in value were valued as
follows: Eveleth, $13,O0O,OOO; Bull, 9
million; Mountain Iron, 10 million; Vir-
ginia, II million; Chisholm, 16 million;
Hibbing, 81 million.
