The house is on for $10,400 and the lot for $700. 2. Lea Davidson 61980 3820 $9,900 Since sewer construction the water runs down into her house so she felt she should have about 50% depreciation. 3. Glen Smith 61730 2450 $7,500 Mr. Smith objected to the sharp increase in valuation this year over last year. He said that just because it was not valued high enough the last time wouldn't mean it was right this year either. 4.

VanGordor 37990 1100 $18,700 Mr. VanGordor said he had made no change on the property, yet the valuation appears to go up every two years. The land is on for $4,200 and the house for $14,500. The Board of Review discussed all the requests again and took action on the following: 3. Charles Cell Kept the land on at $4,000 and reduced the house to $1,600. 20. Gordon Knott There appeared to be no solution to his problem this evening. Wayne Johnson recommended that the Council deny his request and refer it to the County Board. He felt the property was assessed correctly. The Council felt they could make no change inasmuch as three appraisers had set it at this figure. 21. Lloyd Bode The Assessor told him it was worth this much but that he was letting it run down. The Council asked the Assessor to check this place if she could get into it within the next two weeks. (Held over). 43. Paul Spangrud The Assessor was to check what happened to his abatement papers. 2. Hans L. Melgaard The Board of Review concurred with the Assessor to reduce this one to $21,500. The Assessor said she would write a letter to S. O. Almen, Plat 37850, Parcel 150, explaining that they do have a building s:ite, which they didn't think they had as the lot is narrow. Cappy Jones appealed, but had the wrong legal. He was concerned with his prop- erty on Island Park, Plat 37910, Parcels 1625 and 1650. The Assessor was goin~ to review it. The meeting adjourned at l:O0 A.M. to reconvene July 5 at 8:00 P.M. Attests: ~{~ ,._ j/ Leonard L. Kop~ -' \ ~,~/ Gordon Tulberg ~,'
