Schlosser Brothers won tbeir appealed case before:, the State Tax Board, and secured a reductien in Their property valuation of $38,000 Their attorney, Mr. S. X. Stevens, appeared before the State Board last week and "argued the case completely. The contention of the company as made by him was that when the : tangible property of: any 'corporation exceeds the stock in value, the tangible property and not the stock should be assessed. Such is the law. land the State Board recocmized this !at once. The county board refused j to consider this fact and pr.i the assessed valuation of the company at $93.000. The State Board reduces this to ..).(( 10, which is high enough considering values put upon other manufacturing coreevns. Howe e-, it was the principle upon which taxa tion should Ik? based more than the fact of too hijrh a valuation, IV at the Schlosser Brothers wished to establish. The Indianapolis Xews says that the7 reduction was made on the frround that, "the county board er"ed in makinz the appraisement. " Resolutions of RSspect.
