1Vo|)rrt\ Owners
Protest New (jtv
Assessment
The B>Kir-.i of Equalization met
m its first session Wednosda>
evening vith the City Hall filled
with citizens and taxpayers having
many questions and complaints.
Almost all present resented the
meeting of the board being ealled
immediately upon issuing of the
statements as many had received
theirs only the day before.
First to present his views before
the board, which was headed In
acting major Charles Frazier, was
Larry Galvin, who protested the
valuation placed on his buildings
was much more than actual value.
He was followed by Pete Reader,
who referred to the basis used as
“fictitious figures" and not a true
evaluation.
Bill Gillis and Ann Gillis criti
cized the valuation placed on prop
erty which had no improvements
and was not allowed enough de
preciation.
Sig Gryten, who owns a small
cabin in the lowest sub-standard
category, stated, “it’s rotten and
nobody would buy it — its 50 years
old too." He wanted to know
“where is the value’’ placed on his
house.
Paul Dryden, one of the larger
property owners, presented a care
fully prepared paper showing how
lots frequently washed over by
the Bering Sea on the south side
of the East End Road were evalu
ated at SI,000 each which lacked
any realistic value. He requested
a review of the re-assessment. .
Mr. Chitty, licensed assessor foi
the state, and hired by the cit\
last year for $8,950, explained tc
the citizens attending the meeting
that the assessment was to brin:
the city up to a more realistic
value as no change has been mad
in 15 years. He stated that th
business area was assessed on ;
front foot basis, the highest rati
olng assessed at $400 a foot oi
he south side of Front St. fron
iv ; to Steadman and on tin
north side $180 per foot for tn<
' ■ >ni 75 feet and at a rate of 21
e •nts per square foot on the bad
irt of the lots.
Beyond Steadman Ave., goim
east the rate on the south sid<
goes from $300 a foot to $40 ;
