Erie officials report a triennial 1949 tax assessment of 7 962 900 up by 9 162 000 from 1948. Chief Assessor George J Leach cites upward alterations on 3 000 Evie properties due to new constructions and enlarged or improved buildings through 1945. Mayor Martin and Finance Director Walczak say the rise updates valuations and reflects current conditions.
