MINNESOTA MISTAKE RAISES PROPERTY TAXES frflfcn*. .FERGUS FALLS CITIZENS CON SERIOUS,DILEMMA. *!FRONT -HM A State Equalization Board Says 75 Per Cent Increase Does Not Apply to City, but Auditor' Iverson Rules Otherwise, in Meantime Many Regard Heavy Tax as an Injustice. Special to The Journal. Fergus Falls, Minn., Feb. 12,When the citi zens of this city began paying their personal property tuxes this winter they were dismayed To lind they were nearly twice as high as they had ever been before. lni years past it has been the custom to rate everything very low, and the state board of equalization has taken note of the fact and raised the county quite regularly. Recently the assessor here changed the plan and rated personal property in this city at a high figure, far above the average for the balance of the county, and the attention of the state .equalization board was called to the fact that this is one of the cities that Is not equalized by a county board. In due season the county auditor received no tice that a 75 per cent raise had been made on the value of household goods thruout the county, and the tax books weie prepared accordingly. When the citizens discovered how high the personal property taxes were this year, E. E. Adams took the matter up with Mr. Sprague, the member of the state equalisation board from this district, and Mr. Sprague writes that the 75 per cent Increase does not apply to Fergus Falls. County Auditor Lincoln then wrote to State Auditor Iverson and he replied that the minutes of the equalization board do not show any exception in the case of this city. It is evident that a mistake has been made, and the citizens here are pajing the penalty. As an Illustration of how beavily the tax ap plies, the case of Rev. M. Satterlee, a Lutheran district missionary- in moderate circumstances, may be cited. Mr. Satterlee listed bis household goods at their full value, $400, and the raise sends them Up to $700, hi? personal property tax being $35.38. Aldrich Merchant Files. George 'Olson, a general merchant of Aldrich, Wadena county, filed a petition in bankruptcy in the federal court here today, placing his assets at $1,000 of which $375 is exempt, and his liabilities at $1,446.95.
