Banks sue county over uniform assessment in Jones County
Directors of banks at Anamosa, Wyoming and Olin sue the Jones County board of supervisors and assessors to compel taxing all property at one fourth of its true value as law requires. The suit claims real estate and personal property are assessed at one fourth of forty percent, while banks are taxed at one fourth of eight percent, a discriminatory practice. The report also notes land value figures from Louis Gardner based on sales 1920 to 1923 and county-wide assessment ratios for 1922 and 1923.
