Tax board overrules county assessment protest in Kentucky
Clinton county board of review refuses to raise the assessment as advised by the state tax board, though the latter has authority to act. The Frankfort Crescent News cites a Johnson township farm selling for 4500 though assessed at 4800, illustrating tax law injustice. If raised countywide, values could hit 149 per acre, exceeding many farm sale prices. A note mentions Ote Underwood and family and John Dux traveling to Kankakee on Sunday with Mrs. Dux.
