County Review Board Rejects Tax Increase Decision
The county board of review refused to raise appraisements by twenty percent on farm implements and autos and ten percent on horses. The action shifts the decision to the state tax board, with county officials Austin Hunt and Nelson Shockey arguing the increases are unfair and unwarranted. Farm leaders led by L E Needler supported restraint, noting a state mandate could still impose raises. The board includes George B Nottingham, Austin Hunt, Nelson Shockey, James B Strange, and Lawrence Buller.
