The Erie County Milk Association filed appeals in local courts against 1985 property assessments on two properties at 220 28 State Street and on the west side of French Street between 21st and 22nd Streets. The Nts property was assessed at 188 800 and the second at 30 810, with no changes after referral to the board. The petitioner charged the board has wholly failed to perform its duties and has adopted a practice of rubber stamping the opinion of the chief assessor.
