ZOEGHER HERE ON STARR TAX SQUABBLE; CONFERENCE HELD Philip Zoercher. member of the board of tax commissioners held a conference with officials of the StanPiano company Tuesday in an etiort to reach an adjustment in the controversy created by the company's refusal to accept the horizontal assessment levied by the state tax board last year. In 1919" the Wayne county board of review levied an assessment valuation of $750,000 against the property of the Starr Piano company. When the assessment made by the Wayne board was sent to the state board of tax commissioners for their approval they added horizontal increases of $500,000, making a total assessed property valuation of $1,250,000. . The Starr Piano company objected to the horizontal increase levied by the state tax board. When the tax became due this year the company tendered payment for a valuation of $750,000. The state refused to accept this payment. The company then filed a petition, stating that the company had regarded the horizontal Increase as exorbitant and giving that as their reason for not paying on the full amount.
