M o rtlt cmi-til cchli) tribune. THIRTY-FIIIST YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., JUNE "23, 1916. No. 46 ile ( ASSESSORS ROOST KKAL ESTATE yALTIES SKYWAKI) Real estate values In Lincoln coun ty and In North Platto -havo been boost ed skyward as compared with tho val ues made four yeaTS ago. This ad vance ranges from ten to ono foun dered per cent, and In some Instances the values placed on tho property Is twenty percent higher than tho prop erty has sold for within tho past year. Generally speaking there Is great Inequality In tho ascesment, and par ticularly Is this true In North Platto the assessors apparently In many In stances at least paying but little at tention to what should constltuto val ue. There are many Instances whore a corner lot the house and lot is list ed separately Is assessed tho same as an Insldo lot, when as everyone knows a corner lot always sells for ten to twenty per cent nioro than an Inside lot. There are Instances where property costing ?8,000 Is listed the same as that costing $G,000 whore the location of ono does not possess ad vantages over another Some farm land In the valley lias been 'advanced to a value much hlghor than it would sell in tho open market and this lat ter Is tho true valuation of all prop perty. During tho past three days tho coun ty commissioners have been sitting as a board iof equalization and their room In the court) house has 'been be selged with those anxious to learn tho values placed on their property. So far wo have failed to moet one man who is satisfied. The dissatisfaction generally speaking is due to tho In equalities. Tho commissioners - will, however, go over tho assessors' books and cor rect, at least some of the most glar ing Trrors, and when they hayo com pleted this work they twill again git as a board of equalization and the property owner can appear and make protest if he considers the readjusted values unU3t. A town the slzo of North Platte will never have an equal ahd Just assess ment until tho .work Is delegated to ono man, and. by having ono mean he can study Jhe true value of property and not go at It In a hapliazerdway.
