A letter from Marion County Treasurer R A Lemcke explains that tax data cannot be given while Marion County assessments are tied up in court and a state board order boosts values by up to 60 percent for property categories. The piece criticizes the horizontal increases and calls the Goodrich method unfair, noting hurt to taxpayers and urging remedy. It recounts a Bradford death notice for Elizabeth Gettelfinger and lists local obituaries and advertisements following.
Citizens rail against the Goodrich State Tax Board for a new assessment method that lists household goods and farm items in dozens of categories. The plan, critics say, inflates values and shifts tax burden to small homeowners while banks and large depositors evade similar scrutiny.
The notice outlines a new tax method requiring itemization of household goods and farm implements under Item 62. It lists article categories from bedroom furniture to dining sets, kitchen equipment, linens, and library items, each with its value to be provided.
The inquiry concerns the amount of insurance on household goods and the basis on which it was written. The farm implements are itemized and valued from a hog rack to a binder, totaling thirty nine items.
