Pannell, Leo O.Mueller, Dave C. Reed, and E. L. Steck: lows: We, the Board of Equalization for the year 1930, beg leave to report as folThe Board convened August 4, 1930, recessed October 11, 1930, and adjourned, after serving 60 days, on October 23, 1930. We examined all the records as to assessed valuations, approved all changes made by the City Assessor & Collector when there was no protest filed with the Board, and looked into and adjusted all complaints presented to us. As far as we could determine, we tried to treat both the property owner and the City fairly in all our decisions. There were presented to the Board about 3000 items asking for changes in valuations. These included corrections in calculations, building permits and change in assessments by the owner or Tax Department. There were about 750 protests made to the Board and values changed in about 350 cases. In most cases, the values were lowered. In all changes, however, we tried to adhere to equalization. A large number of the protests made to the Board were on land values that were adjusted readily when it was explained that all land values are based on the unit Bystem. We visited every place where requested to do so, and a number besides where no request was made. The total number of visits made by the Board were between 500 and 525. There will be some appeals to the City Council in cases where the Board did not agree with the owner. The Board stands ready in all cases to defend its action in so far as equalization is to be considered. We wish to extend our thanks to the Tax Department for its assistance to the Board when called on to help us. As a whole, the deliberations of the Board were very harmonious. Thanking you, the City Councilmen, for the confidence placed in us by your appointment of us to serve on this Board of Equalization, we are, Yours most respectfully, (Sgd) C.P.Ledbetter; A. W. Townsend; Otto Ebeling.
