It was moved by Mr. Wodischek that these recommendations of the Tax
Assessor be approved and the required corrections be made on the Tax Roll, as
recommended. Mr. McFee seconded the motion and on roll call the vote was as

It was further recommended by the Assessor, that the basic rate on
the average lot on the Ocean Boulevard, lying South of Ocean Beach lot 24
and North of Ocean Beach lot 9 be reduced as follows:
On the land lying between Ingram Street
and Watson Street, on the South end and
on that lying between Thomas Street and
Market Street, on the North end,' a re-
duction of'$5.00 per foot be made
~
On the land lying South of Watson Street
to the South City Limits, and on all
Shore Acres lots, a reduction of $10.00
per foot be made.
The Council considered this a fair reduction for this outlying beach
property, and it was moved by Mr. Wodischek that the Assessor's recommendations
be approved and the values of these properties be reduced on this basis. Mr. Mc-
Fee seconded the motion and on roll call the vote was as follows: Mr. Jacobs yes,
Mr. McFee yes, Mr. Wodischek yes. The motion carried.
All objections having, been considered and acted upon by the Board, and
there being no other complainants present to be heard, the Council deemed its
work as a Board of Equalization to have been completed, and it was therefore
moved by Mr. Wodischek that the Council adjourn, finally as a Board of Equalization
for the year 1943. Mr. McFee seconded the motion which carried, and the Board
accordingly adjourned.
