JUly 9, 1940
The Coun cil convened in ad journed special session
at 9:00 A. M. as a Board of Equalization, with the follow-
ing members present: Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Crego, Mr. dacobs.
Councilmen Hill and Miller were absent.
A long communication was read from Carl J. White,
asking a reduction in the !!l sessment placed against the
Bon Air Hotel property. Based on its income value, he
considered it over-assessed ccmpared to .the Colony, Seacrest
and Delray Beach Hotel. He also asked that the appraisal
on his Annex, Lot 13 Block 77 be reduced, to bring it more
in line With other properties of the same type and nature.
A discussion ensued as to the relative values of the
various hotels, some considering the Bon Air to be due
some reduction. It was elso stated that the Colony Annex
should be raised and the Bon Air Annex reduced to equalize
these valuations.
George Riley appeared before the Board, stating
he considered his valuation fair, but inasmuch as his
bus iness and apartment building was not in condition to
rent by the first of January, he considered some reduction
in rental value was due him. He said he occupied the East
store on January 1st, but the center store was not oooupied
until January 15th, and the West store not available for
occupancy until February, consequently he failed to rent
the latter at all during the entire Season. He stated the
apartments were not in condition to rent until February
1st, although the building was SUbstantially ocmpleted by
the first of the year.
M. N. Weinerman asked the Board to reduce valuation
plaoed against his property, Lots 3 & 4 Blook 92.
As on the previous day, aotion was deferred on all
canplaints until they could be investigated and acted
upon at a meeting, when a fuller membership of the Council
is present.
All complainants having been duly heard, it was
regularly moved, seconded and carried that Council
adjourn to meet again the following day as a Board of
Equalization.
