The Council met in adjourned session, on call of
the Mayor, at 9130 A.M. as a Board of Equalization, with
the following members present: Mr. Bradshaw, Mr. Crego,
Mr. Hall, Mr. H~ll. Mr. Miller was absent.
W.O. Jelks came before the Board, in the interests of
Carl A. Jones, asking a reduction in the assessed valuation
placed on his 62 acres in Section 9, which lies between the
F.E.C. Railway and Swinton Avenue. It was recommended that
one-third of the property,' having Swinton Avenue frontage,
be assessed at $125.00 per acre; one third in the center
at $100.00 per acre; and one third on the railroad at
$75.00 per acre, or an average assessment of $100.00
per acre. This would effect a reduction from $7750.00
to $6200.00. Mr. Jelks said this VIOuld be satisfactory.
A. George raised objection to his personal property
assessment stating that his stock was less than the Novelty.
Dress Shop, yet it was assessed higher. He asked that i%
be reduced accordingly. Considerable discussion ensued
but it was finally recommended that A. George, The Novelty
Dress Shop, and M.N. Weinerman be all assessed for the same
amount, viz., $1260.00.
'.
It was further contended that the attorneys were
assessed too low as compared to the doctors and other pro-
fessional offices, and recommendation was made that the
two lawyers be assessed for $150.00, and Dr. Farber for $?50.
There being no further complainants present to'
present objections, it was moved that the Council adjourn
as a Board of Equalization to meet in special session again
on or before regular Council meeting night, July 24th,
at which time all recommendations, as agreed upon by the
Board, may be embodied in one resolution and regularly
passed by the Board.
