Assessors Seek Higher Valuation On Carroll County Utilities
Attorney O C Shock and Gus Hall attended a conference in Indianapolis with the state tax board to review valuations of Carroll County public utilities. Focused on the Oakdale Dam and the Indiana Board and Filler holdings in Delphi, the state board will set values by August 1. Last year the local paper mill was valued at 6000 dollars, a figure seen as too low amid reports a local Indianapolis buyer could pay eight times as much. The holding company reportedly does not wish to sell to the Indianapolis concern due to market competition with Vincennes mill and risk to its key customers.
