Carter Brookhart cites Neosho County Real Estate Assessment data on three Chanute homes to argue older and lower priced properties bear higher tax percentages. House No 1, 75 by 50 foot lot, valued total 1925, shows 6 825 plus 1 100 improvements. House No 2, built 1955, 80 foot lot, value 3025 with 25 land and 3000 improvements. House No 3, new in a Chanute addition, 103 foot lot, land 15 and improvements 3750 for total 3765. He claims owners of older or cheaper homes face higher tax loads and blames county officials for unequal taxation. Paid Adv by Carter Brookhart.
