Tax Board Hears Bloomington Light Company Appeal
The State Board of Tax Commissioners met in two sessions to finish hearings on appeals. Judge Henry Clay Duncan argued for the Light, Heat and Power Co of Bloomington, challenging the Monroe County Board of Review on using a June value instead of April 1 for taxation and noting a misapplied assessment. Other cases included the Bank of Corydon protest, the American Bell Telephone Co. assessment dispute, and Belt Railroad Company versus Union Railway, with Van Vorhis failing to sway the board and an ensuing expectation of further assessments tomorrow.
