Agreement Reached On O R N Tax Equalization Question
County court settled the challenge to Oregon Railroad & Navigation property values in Morrow County. After hearing J W Morrow and Assessor Gove, the court lowered the main line assessment to 5500 per mile and the branch line to 5500, with real estate at one third value and cash notes and accounts similarly valued. Morrow argued underassessment and unassessed money and notes in the county. Gove cited the Jackson County railroad case and ICC data to justify valuation, noting earnings and replacement costs.
