Os the more than 4,000 property owners of the county residing out jside of the city of Concord, only 61 * appeared before the board of equaliza tion and review this week to enter protest against land assessments. Property in the county has been assessed by the tax assessors and the board met at the court house Monday ! and Tuesday to give .owners of this | property an opportunity to make com plaint if they so desired, before the j final valuation figures are entered on the tax book. John L. Miller, tax' supervisor for the county, stated this morning that only 61 persons appeared before the board and in a majority of cases the valuations were not changed after the conferences. -v Several errors were found, it was stated, and these were corrected, and in some few instances the valuation figures were reduced, but for the most part the valuations as agreed upon by the assessors were not changed. In two instances, Mr. Aliller stated, valuations were increased after the conferences. Air. Aliller plans iWMr to send no tices to property owners in Concord within the next ten days. After these notices have been mailed out the board will have another hearing' for the benefit of city people who think there has been a . mistake in the valuation of their property. fcounty officials are anxious to cofai plete the hearings this week or as soon as possible, it was explained, so the budget for next year can be adopted. The budget and the tax rate will be determined somewhat by the county’s total taxable wealth.

Val uation Will Be Heard by Board at Later Date. Another hearing for property’■own ers. of the city is planned by the county board of equalization and re view. " This hearing will be necessary since nuihbers of property owners in Con cord have not yet been advised of the valuation put on their property, and therefore were not in position to ap pear before the board at its meetings this week. \ Notices have been sent only to prop erty owners in Ward Three, it was explained this tnorning by John L. Miller, county tax supervisor, this be ing the .smallest ward and therefore taken first. Later, however, notices will be sent to owners in the other wards of the city, and every one who wants to enter a protest against the valuation of his property will be heard. The tax listers and assessor® are completing their work now, Mr. Miller* said, but they could not get the notices mailed out in time for -the_ hearing this week. For that reason an additional hearing, and maybe two or three of them, will be held by the board. “Everybody will be treated alike in this matter,” Mr. Miller said. “Every property owner in the city and county will be given an opportunity to ap pear before the board and those per sons who have not yet received their assessment notices are not to feel that . the valuation placed against their property will stand Avithout an oppor tunity being given them to enter pro test if they desire. The work re quires much time and we will take the matter up in the other wards as soon as possible.” Storm sewers in various parts of the -city have been opened and cleaned following Monday's hard rain. Trash had clogged some of the sewers while in others tree roots were obstructing passage of water,, especially after such hard raiiis as visited the city Monday.
