Baker, deputy tax 0 pner, in a letter to Man- He denies that Man- dan received unfair dealing. With increases ordered by the » board the value of Mandan 1 estate for taxation will be that of last year, he says. The valuation of city real es- tate in the city of Mandan as returned by the county board of equalization in 1923 is approxi- mately 6) percent of the, valuation aid board in the year “Not only was the city” of Mandan out of line with all other cities of its class in the | valuations returned by the county | board of equalization but valua- | tions returned by this board on ndan real estate in the year were greatly reduced in com- n with any year of the past ur years. In 1920 for instance, valuations of lots in the City of Mandan were returned by the board. of equalization at | 1 as compared with the valuation returned this year by said board of $415,959. “The net taxable assessed valu- of Mandan real estate in 1922 after deduction of property to 50 percent val- uation was $1,954,531. The next taxable assessed valuation in the | year 1923 on a 75 per ceny basis will be $1,744,452.” Mr. Baker holds Mandan assess- ments were out-of line with other cities. A comparison of the as-} sessment of all lots as returned by county boards on a presumed full value basis in 1923 was; Minot 331 per capita; Bismarck $293 per capita; Jamestown $178 per capita; Devils Lake $246 per cap- same size except Valley City and there is only a difference of five dollars between the two,” | Mr. Baker said.

To Foreclose a On Equity Fargo, Aug. 18.—Notice of inten- tion to foreclose a $30,000 mortgage held by the Bank of North Dakota on property owned by the Equity Coop- erative Packing company was served Thursday on officials of the company here by attorneys for the bank. C. W. Reichert, president and general manager of the company, who has been replaced in charge of the com- pany’s affairs by George Brastrup of Courtenay, temporary receiver, ad- mitted having received the notice and declared that the foreclosure pro- ceedings would probably. be carried ita; Valley City $205 per capita; | through. Mr. Brastrup was in Duluth. Mandin $96 per capita; Dickinson $191 per capita. Lots in Mandan | were fixed at $96 per capita while the county board fixed lots in New Salem als9 in Morton county, at $191 per capita, he says. A similar comparison of the value per capita on __ residence structures as returned by county boards from several cities is cit- ed as follows: Minot $8339 per eaite, Bismarck $218 per capita; Jam stown $327 per capita; Devils $284 per capita; Valley City 2 per capita; Mandan $103 per capita; Dickinson $351 per capita. “When the state board took a look at the above comparative fig- ures, it was apparent at once that Mandan was unfairly low as com- pared with the other cities of the same class, and Bismarck also too low as compared with Minot and Jamestown, and Dickinson was un- reasonably high, and so the state board raised Mandan and Bismarck and lowered Dickinson, although even now after this action of the state board Mandan is assessed on residence structures only at a rate of $227 per capita, which leaves it lower than any other city of the Under a state law, 80 days’ notice of intention to foreclose must be given by the holder of the mortgage before foreclosure proceedings may be started. At the expiration of this period action may be taken in court to foreclose, or foreclosure may be made by advertising for a period of six weeks. A sheriff's sgle of the property will probably then be held. A year is given in which to redeem the property. FARGO MAN IS 40 AND 8 HEAD Wahpeton, N. D., Aug. 18,—J. P.
