Brown said as the board | fl tMkupthe work of giving final confl Xration to the protests of counties, fl W bich refused the board’s orders on fl fixation of real estate and perfl «nal proprety assessments. I fl Brown was reluctant to venture a fl as to the actual figure of fl |bc 1925 levy until the board has fl completed its work. fl The present levy is 28 cents. The fl roil of ’he administration of Hoverfl jor Jackson is a reduction to 25 cents , fl i«t year- 1 ■ Brown pointed out that there w.ll be a decrease of probably $150,000.i MO in property assessment validations I ilong with the reduction in the tax 'levy- I “Last year the total assessment val-' : uition of property and real estate in Indiana was $3,356,000,000. Brown said ■This year it is expected the final to I til valuation figure will be about $5,- [ 1M.000.000. Previous estimates had placed the 1 net reduction at a considerably less than $150,000,000. The average decrease on farm land assessments throughout the state was approximately 11 per cent. Brown said. This reduction will aid materially in I lightining the unequal bubrden of'taxation borne by farm land since the I boom days of the war period. The tax board has allowed material reduction in the assessment vali nation of all interurban companies in I the state because of the depreciated j value of their property due to bus I competition On other utilities and urban property there was general tendency to Increase the assessments. In fifty-one counties the boards of j I review were ordered to revise assessr ment figures, in practically all cases I the orders being for increase. The borads completed consideration I of the recommendations of the tax body last week and increases where j the recommendations were rejected had until Monday evening to file notice of protest with the state tax board. Today the state tax board was going over protests of counties rejecting the orders and second and final orders will be mailed to the county auditors Thursday. If sufficient evidence is presented to the tax board that it erred in its first orders, the orders wi'l be revised Brown said. There is no resource from the second act of orders which will be issued Thursday because the orders are not subject to injunctions .according to state tax officials. In some counties where increases were ordered over the assessment figures of the county assessors the threat was made of court action to prevent the increases from becoming effective. Such threats are without legal foundation, according to officials of the tax board. Individual protest against assessments must be filed with the commission not later than next Monday by persons who think they have been discriminated against. These protests will be considered "■nd acted on during the fourth ses uion of the board which will start the latter part of this month. 0 Mrs. Wertzberger Attends Funeral In Detroit, Mich. • Mrs. M.
