Wakefield taxpayers would pay about two dollars more per thousand of assessed value for county purposes if the county board action is adopted by the city council. The equalization committee raised county valuation to 34,000,000 with Wakefield up 17.5 percent. Ironwood up about 10 percent and Bessemer township up about 12 percent.
