Tax demands spark homeowners lutar over city improvements
City Treasurer Herman Strasburg issues a notice demanding payment of long standing social improvement taxes in Hope Volunteer and Empire additions. With 1908 1909 district work upheld by the state supreme court many owners have paid but others refuse. About 418 000 remains due including principal and interest, drawing threats of sale of property unless paid. Homeowners denounce assessments claiming grading and sidewalks cost more than property value and threaten deeds rather than taxes.
