. .) ... T - it-.- : li: 1:1 THE PLATTSMOUTII JOURNAL PAGE THREE Thursday. February 7, 1952 Tolgers, Kills, Butternut, Chase & Sanborn, Maxwell House J .1 ij OURNAU isms Scientific appraisal and equalization of property taxes in urban and rural Cass county to get underway here soon, (thanks to the county commissioners) will hold surprises for many res idents. We doubt that 25 per cent of our people realize the injustices being done through haphazard assessments that have accumulated here during the last half century. Discussing the Otoe county c-oeram that has been under way there for the past several months, opened our eyes to what can be found in the records. A reporter for the News-Press told this writer that in one town in the county several Dronerties had been found that had never ' been on the tax rolls. The lots had been carried on tax records as vacant for many years. On several occasions we have checked assessment records at t:?c courthouse for our own in formation and, receiving Dlentv of cooperation there from the I late Wm. Puis, present Assessor Wiilard McShane, Miss Clara Olson and Mrs. Ann Hiner, it was shocking in many instances to learn how out of line valua tions really were. We have also been informed that right here in Plattsmouth properties have been found that were never listed un tax schedules. We predict that when these equalization experts complete their survey and recommenda tions, when the tax load is equit ably distributed, each and every property owner is carrying his full share of the load. Platts mouth will be benefitted by having a much, much lower mill levy than any person thought possible. Going further, we be lieve that a large share of home owners will have their taxes re duced by a considerable margin. After examining many valu ations and comparing them with similar properties throughout the city, we feel so deeply con cerned over the present system, that we actually believe the new p: posed school construction here in Plattsmouth can be car ried out with a lower mill levy than we have at present and the average home owner will be called upon to pay less taxes than he is paying now when the equalization program goes into operation. With kitchen and dining room accommodations planned for upwards of 500 persons, it gives Journal reporters some encour agement for the future. Per haps it will not be necessary for so many drives to the Agri cultural building in Weeping Water to cover all county events fcit might be that some of them can be held here if we have the facilities to take care of the crowds. Too, we'll have an op portunity to compare the culi nary efforts of our local ladies with those of our neighboring city. Those Weeping Water ladies can certainly cook. When and if this comes to pass we have no intentions of acting as judge we'll leave that to our two Herman friends Meisinger and Schweppe they're big enough to get away with it. See where a man was ar raigned in court on charges by J his wife of being drunk and dis orderly. The wife accused him of taking dishes from the house aifd selling them to buy wine. We doubt that he was drunk. More than likely he was only trying to get out of washing them. Just a little item in this mornings paper: Hot Springs, S. D. voters overwhelmingly ap proved by 828 to 22 a 175-thou-sand-dollar bond issue for con struction of additional school facilities." e ' Cobby" Caldwell just called to ask that we inform the public that his organization continues to carry on a rental service in cooperation with the Platts mouth Chamber of Commerce that Wescott's performed so faithfully many years. Vacan cies are listed at the store and inquiries are referred to them from many business places. This has been instrumental in se curing many fine citizens for Plattsmouth and is just another service of your Chamber of Commerce appreciated by many. While on the subject of ren tals we might pass on a little information to landlords within the city of what we've heard the past few weeks. Rent situation is not as tight as it has been for years past and tenants have a greater offering oi vacancies than for many years. With the Wi&orry housing project open anu two-room modern apart ments renting at a little over $50 a month, it might be ad visable for landlords to examine their rent scale and analyze conveniences.
