The Chairman referred to ztem 4: The Board has agreed to hear ` two tax accessment appeals. 1. Mr. H. L. Workman - The Tax Supervisor, Bill Laws, stated that Mr. Workman was present. The evaluation of the house and lot was $4,800. with the land valued at $1,800 and the dwelling at $3,000. Mr. Workman stated that he felt the evaluation was too high because the house was old and not occupied except for two rooms. He stated that the house and land had at one time been evaluated at $4,100. The Tax Supervisor recommended that the Board reduce this evalua- tion 50 percent because of the condition of the building. The assessed evaluation would be $3,300. Commissioner Walker moved that the Board accept the Tax Super- visor's recommendation and reduce the evaluation by 50 percent.
