Defends Tax For 1918 Amidst Washington Assessments
Edward W Oyster defended the 1915 triennial district real estate assessment before a congressional committee, arguing values declined but the 9 percent higher current assessment was not excessive. He faced attacks from Herbert J Browne and pressed that the district’s assessor board, led by William Richards, remains honest and capable. The session also focused on nonresident appointments, with Charles Lancaster pressing reform while committee members considered next steps.
