MEETING ADJOURNS WITHOUTREACHING TAX DECISION

(Prom the Beilingham Reveille)

The committee of propertyowners representing seven coun-ty townships which met with theboard of equalization and thesupervisors of the townships yes-1terday afternoon in an effort toIcome to an agreement regardingassessment failed to form a pro-1position. which they thoughtwould be acceptable to all con-cerned and adjourned yesterdayafternoon at 5 o'clock without !beving reached any definate con-clusion. Seven of the committeewill be on hand at 10 o'clockthis morning to continue the dis-cussion and it is believed theywill have something to announcebefore the day Is over.

The entire morning and earlypart of the afternoon was takenup with a heated discussion oftaxation, and the assessmentquestion was discussed from allangles. It was only after hoursof confusion that the committee'was chosen and went into tessio'l

: and even then nothing was ac-[compllshed. Many property own-ers of the seven townships, Lyn-den, Nooksack, Ten Mile, Pern-dale, Mountain View. Delta amiCuster, were on hand to takepart in the deliberations.

Chief among the verbal clashesof the mottling was an attack

,by Judge Ed. B. Hardin upon'other county officials whichbrought forth a heated replyfrom Commissioner Ed Brown.When the meeting adjourned e<

' noon it seemed the opinion ofthe majority that assessed val-uations should not be raised, butrather that in equalising the ta-

aeaamenta of the various town-ships the tendency should be to

\u25a0go down. Chairman B, c. Ban-\u25a0 ter declared that if the township

assessments go down, the city

assessments must follow the samoroute. He declared, however that

IUUU mmPi W..U1.1 ~. J HIIUHU,! ...

1 pay three or tour times as muchper acre in one township as aman in another, both living on

; the same kind of soil.Brown voiced the opinion that

Whatcom County would have toget back to earth, stating that

! Its citizens are paying $:5 taxiwhere they ought to be paying

i It.Several times during the meet-

ing two or three or more en-deavored to talk at the same timeand one man from Nooksacktownship was repeatedly on his

\ feet. Any time anyone mentionedStricter economy and retrench-ment, shouts, bandclapping and.-tamping of feet ensued.

A. I). Coster of Laurel andJ I. Lawrence Of Ten Mile wereamong the principal speakers.Foster, in his talk, pointed oulthe difficulties under which tie-farmers are laboring, with thedairymen producing milk at aloss, poultry being assessed formore than the market value andfarm produce not bringing Insufficient returns. lie urged, withothers, that a committee be ap-

pointed to meet with the boardto equalize the values in a (airmanner. Lawrence insisted onthreshing the matter out in mass

{ meeting.' Chairman Baxter obtained amotion Which included that ami mber of the Hellingham HealEstate association be on the com-mlttl c to meet with the board,which also would include thetownship asessors, but loud criesof "No, no." came from the crowdat this suggestion. The motionwas voted down.

Doth George Bacon and W. R.Moultray. from the real est;:!

association, spoke Bacon con-tended that it would not be fairto lower the township valuationsand leave the city valuations stayas they are. He also pointed oat]

I that it was not fair for an acre Olcleared land in one township be-|ing assessed at $<>9 an a re nni!cleared land of like character inanother township being assesi td!$42. for exampli .

"We are not getting anywhererapping each other." said Moul-tray. when he arose. " We all iadmit taxes arc too high. It lanow a question of equalizing val-uations as between townships."

last week with Miss Frances Olt-'man.

Several township citizens In-sisted that the township assessorsand township boards of equali-sations bail doii'» their duty andthey could not understand whyanyone should attempt to altertin- returns as filed by them.

While it was pointed out timeand tints again iiy variouse:i that Individual assessments

lln tho townships could not b?IcLanged by the county board ofequalization, but only the town*

Ipi as a whole, this point wasI B jt made clear to many indivi 1-

I v lis who arose throughout the]meeting, flashing a tax statement

;.: id claiming that a neighborowi ir land of like character

j was not assessed as much as he.An effort was made by County

A or 11. 1). Mc Arthur ando' i.e. \u25a0? to point out that such dis-crepmcies were due to the re-

i tims of the township assessorsit id alio to tiie failure of the

I p roo.i affected to take the mat-tor 11 r< with !'ie township board.

Tii opening the meeting, Chair-; man Baxti r went into the quos-[tion of reduced raluationa In de-

I'ail. He quoted figures showing

I the redaction of valuation fromI $22,651,688 in 1021 to $17,916,-

--' 524 this year, or a total loss of114,634,711 in valuation, whichincludes $850,283 in the city of

\ Beilingham. The seven townshipscited to appear showed the fol-

; lowing losses: Nooksack, 81 per[cent; Lynden 31 per cent: TenI Mile, 2H.9 per cent; .Mountain! View, 18 per cent; Delta, 17.6per cent; Ferndale. 24 per cent,and Custer, 10.5 per cent.

I Lynden was the only town in! the county to gain in valuation.! the gain being 5 per cent. The\u25a0 figures show Lynden'\u25a0 assessedI valuation to have been 1889.880lin 1921 and t!lol">,7fiu this year,i Sumas showed a los.s of 22.3 percent, the figures being $118,888!in 1921, as compared with $ir,s,---| 403 this year, and Blame showeda loss of 22 per cent. The asses-sed valuation for Blame was giv-en as $409,064 last year and$3G5,815 this year. Ferndale

1 showed a slight loss, the assessedI valuation last year being $97,593as compared with $97,754 this

! year. Bellingham's only loss was9.4 per cent, as last year's as-sessed valuation was 19,017,648'while the returns this year gavethe valuation as 18,187,416,

Caitman Baxter said therewere three ways to solve the'question when he opened the'[meeting. One way was .to raiseall property of like character to

I the highest valuation given; an-other to lower to the lowest fi-gure given, and the third to tryand equalize between the twofigures.
