In the report released by the
Board, it is specifically brought
out that the approval" covers
the year 1852 and states further
that taxes may be increased in
1853 or at any future time
The report states that the tax
for 1852 is approved but with
out in any way limiting the action
of the Board with respect to ap-
proving the assessed valuation of
real property in this Madison
county for the tax year 1853 or
any subsequent tax year and is
without prejudice to any right,
duty, and authority which the
Board has under the provisions of
sections of the General Code.
The basis for the increase in
valuation, according to the
Board, is based upon the aggre-
gate assessed valuation of real
property in each county and must
equal or exceed 50 percent of the
market price as reflected by
sales of real property for the
years 1916, 1947 and 1948.
The program set down by the
Board has been under fire for
some time. Elton Kile, Madison
county representative to the Ohio
legislature has voiced objection to
the Boards program formula as
we'll as objecting to the three
man board, in that the members
are appointed rather than elected.
Too, the method of reappraisal
was topic at recent state
convention of the Ohio Chamber
of Commerce.
The recent reappraisal in Ma
olson county was completed at
a cost of S35,000.
