Smelter penalties in Lewis and Clark County assessment hearing
The Lewis and Clark county board of equalization opened hearings on reductions sought by the American Smelting and Refining Co. and Missouri River Power Co. East Helena smelter manager Eugene Braden argued against a $629,960 assessment, claiming improvements worth only about $200,000 exist and much property is unused or outdated. Judge Bach noted possible overvaluation and asked Braden about duplicating the plant at a cost not exceeding $200,000, while Missouri River Power Co. urged its own lower valuation from $769,560 to about $426,711.
