Injunction Sought Over Building Valuation Fight
Commercial Fire Insurance asks Equity Court to restrain a $400,000 reduction in the assessed value of the Southern building at Fifteenth and H streets and to bar the superintendent of Insurance from publishing statements on its financial condition during trial. Justice Barnard heard arguments and took the case under advisement as District commissioners and the superintendent filed separate answers. The dispute centers on two readings of value by the superintendent and by the city assessor, sparking an investigation by Congress.
