Adjustment Notices Sent Property Owners on Lindbergh Avenue
Adjustments of Lindbergh avenue property valuations were placed with Supervisor of Assessments Alfred W. Gaver for mailing. Commissioner board president A. H. Derr announced the action and noted revisions to measure lot depth. The standard uses a 150 foot lot with a 15 percent deduction for 100 foot depth. Some valuations were reduced by 15 percent and others raised to meet the standard as protests cited lots not buildings. John W. Grove, owner on the street, appeared yesterday. No date set yet for further commissioners and assessors sessions on 1938 assessments.
