Tl;c ounty commissioners are pre pnVi to make a fight to have, the vroM nt valuation sustained, <and liaVI, ,|10 county attorney, Mr. W. R, Shcnill. working on the case. Tho x)-s contention is that Mr. Lee's valiiatio" of $10.00 per acre is not as fab as the land would sell for, and 4i)t it is in keeping with valuations 0f r-ut over land throughout the county. , Mr. Lee has 3946 acres of land, listed W the tax books at $39,721 w?, while the Haywood Lumber and Mining Company's mineral interest ?m the land is listed at $7,000.00. Tlu' county commissioners take the psitinii that this valuation is not ex tessivc and that it is in keeping with the valuations on mountaip lands ot Vjtli large and small holdings throughout the county, and have m stract-'.l the county attorney to issue summonses for people conversaiu irifli liind valuations . in the count \ md 1o preprae to sustain their ' position.
