Efforts of Commissioners | Jack Scott and Guy T. Mor- gan to add some twelve mil- lion dollars to the assessed valuation for tax purposes of oil and refining company property in Natrona county may 3 be the center of long and expensive Utigation and result in the tying up of tax payments on which the coun- ty must depend for operating ex- penses. This course is open to oil companies who stand pat ¢n conten tlons that original schedules cover- ing their property were fair and just and who will take their case before the State Board of Equalization or to the courts, after failure to secure justice in hearings before the county board. The burden in such an event cannot fail to fall on the small tax- payer in view of financial toils al- ready woven about county affairs by nJne other than the same pair who are now waging a vindictive battle as the. outgrowth of criticism of their law-breaking activities in pub. le office. Hearing on protests filed by oil companies was concluded J fore the breakfast hour Sunday morning after an all night session. Collapse of the commissioners’ case against the ofl companies, by their own admissions, took the form of lopped-off millions in valuations that had been increased. Reductions counting to $6,863,290 in the ard’s increases had been granted, ing some $5,000,000 additional as- sments still standing. This will be the issue when the oi] companies take thetr ease before the state board, and if unsuccessful there may be an issue of long standing in the high courts with tax payments at a standstill In the meantime.
