Equalization effort aims at fair Waterloo valuations
J A Townsley Waterloo city assessor leads field deputies in a statewide effort to equalize real and personal property values. The plan sets fair basis: vacant lots 25 to 34 percent of actual value, owned homes 40 to 45 percent, owner occupied homes 1 to 60 percent, and merchandise stocks at 50 percent of inventories. Deputies inspect residences to gain firsthand knowledge for accurate assessments, with merchants’ inventories due within two weeks. Territory notices list assignments in Whitney Sedgwick, Johnson’s, Westfield, Hagerman, downtown Waterloo, and Cedar River Park areas. Housewives resist access, fearing solicitors, risking guessed values if doors stay closed.
