Board Of Equalization
Sat Monday ahd Tuesday
The Nome City Council, sitting
as a board of equalization, met the
public formally on tax assess
ments. Many of the taxpayers
claimed their assessment was too
high and presented statements to
prove such was the case, in which
the board sometimes concurred
and lowered the assessment.
The property of Nome had been
appraised during the past summer
by a firm hired by the city for the
purpose of increasing tax income
to the city and to arrive at a more
equitable basis upon which to levy
the city taxes.
O. D. Cochran, veteran attorney
of Nome, disputed the right of the
assessor to revalue property from
the feeble million and a half dol
lars heretofore used, to the pres
ent new figure of nearly five mil
lions. Cochran stated he interpre
ted the law to read “must be actu
al value” which still leaves the
basis undetermined.
Personalities aired themselves
almost beyond control as one tax
payer took considerable time only
to admit he had not yet received
his assessment card but “knew it
would be too high.”
Sam Mogg, Eskimo president of
the Arctic Native Brotherhood,
speaking for his people, stated
that legislation should be made by
the Territory to support the cities
of Alaska.
At the close of the Tuesday
night session the board set the
tentative figure of taxation at
twelve and one-half mills to make
possible tax returns slightly in ex
cess of $50,000.
The final session will be held on
Thursday night in the City Hall at
8:00 o’clock.
