County on Assessor Expense Rules Questioned by Board
Attorney general advises Linn county supervisors that a county need not furnish office space and supplies to Cedar Rapids city assessor when city population is under 60 000. Cedar Rapids population exceeds 60 000 in official count but numbers 56 097 per 1930 census cause doubt. Finance Commissioner Burgus says state auditors prohibit payment. Claim includes office overhead and travel and school costs for assessors. City Assessor Feiereisen notes costs arise from state ordered work and instruction attendance. Supervisor Beeson says board will likely act on the claim at 1939 session.
