Pointing out that all property in| the county is supposed to be assessed at 60 per cent of its actual value, but that “large speculative tracts belong- ing to many members of the Demo-| - cratic organization in the county are | assessed way below the 60 per cent | ratio, the letter cited property owned | by Hagner as an example. | “According to Mr. Hagner's own statements,” the letter read, “he has| refused a $75000 cash offer for this| | property and is holding it for $100,-| - 000, which he believes to be the true| : value of the property. Based on the figure of 60 per cent of the actual cash value of the property, this prop- erty should be assessed at $60,000, ex- clusive of improvements. The prop- erty is actually assessed at $4,495.” Hagner Defends Figure. “I honestly baideve my property to be assessed the same as other property of like value located in the same area,” Hagner replied. | He said he was a member of the | assessment board at the time the assessment was madc in 1927 and ’28, but declared he had avthing to do with making his own assess- ment. ‘Hagner stated that two other mem- bers of the board had inspected the area in which Lis home is lceated. —_— CITIZENS TO MEET Special Dispatch to The Star.
