BOWMAN SHOWS WHY ASSESSMENT FELL OFF
During the last ten years, the total increase of assessments In Wayne county, except railroads, etc., is $5,650,360. This Is the first year during this period that the assessments have not shown a material increase over the previous one. These facts are brought out in a detailed report which L. S. Bowman, county auditor, has compiled to show the state equalization board why the taxes of Wayne county should not be Increased. He will appear before the board tomorrow. It is required that every auditor In the state do this once a year. The percentage of increase in ten years is 20 per cent. The average annual increase, $565,036, or 2 per cent. The loss In 1916 is $188,280, or one-half percent. The total Increase of- personal property In the ten years Is $906,810, giving a 10 per cent, increase. The loss la 1916 is $423,380, and this is responsible for the decrease of assessments this year to a large extent. The increase of real estate in ten
years is $4,743,550. The increase in 1916 is $233,100. In the report Mr. Bowman explains that the loss is due to the M. Runley company removing personal property from the county, assessed in 1915 at $132,000; the Light, Heat and Power company transfer of electric plant to the City of Richmond, $100,000, and the assessment of $500,000 worth of mortgage notes at 75 per cent, of their face value. $125,000. The total of the three items makes $357,000.
