Valuation Shifts Drive Tax Increase and Personal Property Decline
The article explains an $112,488,550 valuation and an $20 million rise driven by a larger share of market value used and higher market values or improvements. Personal property values fell from $33,930,450 in 1968 to $31,159,710 in 1967, with speculation that using 50 percent of 1967 values would yield over $34.2 million. Whaley notes a greater effort to reduce inventory before assessment and calls personal property valuation highly variable.
