Coutts May Aid In Setting Up New Tax System
Ray C. Coutts a Cedar Rapids tax consultant entered a tentative agreement with County Auditor Otto Hanzlik and the board of supervisors to help set up the county's new tax assessment system. The plan hinges on a possible leave of absence from Coutts with the American Train Dispatchers Association. The Iowa legislature created the county assessor post under the auditor and Section 20 allows hiring expert help. A state tax commission form decision delays the setup until forms are adopted.
