her property was low land, thought increase in valuation too high. Mr. Kearns said
the total assessed value was much less than sales of land in area, and the land was
more valuable than the house; therefore, his valuation was based on bringing the

that all of it should have same value.
he thought $2,500 was a fair figure, In summation he felt the aoard should
