Mayor reported elsewhere in this issue Thcothcr complaints were aired at length With some of the appel lants present Most of the complaints involved comparison with assessments in other years or with assessment of neighbors and nearby properties Commenting on this Assessor Partridge said it was difficult to establish yardstick for judging of all properties He said assess ors base their verdicts on present day values taking into account struction and other factors Notwithstanding most of the ap pellants went away dissatised al though somc appeals against as sessments already considered low by the assessor caused some eye browlifting among bers 3955 Cowan representing Delaney Bdat Lines was extended court mem pcal was rejected The business might as well be sitting in the middle of the lake
