City Assessor to Review Front Foot Valuations
City Assessor James F. Garland plans a district inspection tomorrow after owners fixed front foot values in the eighth assessment district.

North south streets average 35 to 40, while lateral streets rarely exceed 35, prompting the probe with William Young of the Manufacturers' Appraisal Co., installing the Somers system.
