Appraisal.Instead offUVfc hundreds upon, hundreds of; complaints that faced the board after the 1926 appraisal, made . | by experts, only 48 complaints were ! made, and the board expects to com-jplete its work in. the two-day ses-; sion. l\ • _ «| Mornings are devoted to hearing i complaints on Sandusky properties, and afternoons to rural and vHlager .. *properties. „i That surprisingly .few complaints were filed is taken by county officials as a showing that the values setwere generally equitable.\ Few properties were increased in value by the appraisal atid these were, j almost universally, instances where .improvements were made upon the{property or peculiar conditions im-; puted increased value to the holding/s. Most properties got a reduction invalue. / I‘ Complaints must be filed by Jan. 1 20. ; They must be substantiated by evidence—as in court—to warrant action by the board. IIn its forma! announcement the board says that mere statements I that the values are “too high will I brook no consideration. Complaints! as to the rate of increase or reduction^ will merit nothing. Whether property is rented or not will not .weigh with the board.The board does not know the value of each of the 50,000 lots in the coun- ! ty and the approved appraisal as endorsed by the state will stand unless i the property owner, by abundant and preponderant proof of his contention, cajt show facts calling for a reduction.If*the property Is offered for sale at a lower cost, a copy of a public advertisement or the sworn statement of a realtor, and other evidence is required to support this plea.As a word of caution the board advises that declaration made for property value reduction is a public reference and is available to banks from which loans may be sought; insurance concerns seeking to adjust losses and as evidence n appropriation cases/A baseless complaint may show the value too low and the board is then bound to raise the value.Auditor Oswald, Treasurer Hen-nessy and Commissioner Powers are on the bbard.Alt properties are personally Inspected by the board before action is taken.BriefsNEW CONGO*officers 'today w who blew the ( vault in Montgo gum college and The vault is a which serves bo registrar's officeMEDINA, Dclt;sought since thi Urban, 40, who w home near Brun investigation todi Anthony Urban,'1 woman had been companied officei today.

He says the railway was negligent in letting him off in danger. The railway says he had alighted safely and it had fulfilled its eyery legal duty to him andwas in no wise negligent. ^ ^ ^John McCrystal and Lewis L.
