ASSESSMENT HEAD GIVES ADVICE ON FILING PROTESTS City Bureau Chief Lists Nine Rules for Taxpayers to Follow. Rules and legal procedure for taxpayers In remonstrating against public improvements are set forth in statistics prepared by John E. Rainier. head of the city assessment bureau. Hardly a day passes but what citizens have made some mistakes in remonstrating against improvement, or have failed to take proper steps in the legal time limit, according to Rainier. Mistake often proves costly to the property owner, causing the improvement to go through. Rules are: 1. Remonstrator must be a resident on the street, that is, he or she must live on the street. 2. Remonstrator must be a freeholder, holding deed to the property. ' 3 Remonstrance must contain a majority of the resident freeholders. 4. Each owner must sign Ids or her name separately In case of ownership by husband and wife, each must sign, but the two names count as one freeholder. 5. In case of a corner lot. or lot which has two abutting streets, the owner may remonstrate on either or both streets; however, if the lot is divided into two or more parcels, the remonstrator must live on the parcel abutting the street. If the owner has two lots on the corner, and has built on one of them which is not next to the street, he or she cannot remonstrate as to that street. 6. A remonstrance against an improvement must be filed within ten days after date of confirmation of the preliminary resolution. 7. Persons living in the rear side of an undivided tract have a right to remonstrate. 8. If two men own a piece of prop, erty. one living outside the city, and the other on the street, the one on the street has a right to remonsrate. 9. Trustees of a lodge or church have no right to remonstrate against an improvement. ALLEGED GUNMAN HELD Charged With “Sltooting l p” Poolroom Monday Night. Norman Hamilton, alias "Big Horn.'' 355 W.
