Since then the auditing firm of Diehl and Co. have checked their figures as to savings and assessed valuations of the city property, with the result that the saving would be x$8,750.00 and that the assessed valuation of the City property, includ- ing real estate, improvements and secured personal property is as follows: City Assessed Valuation $31,152,000.00 County Assessed Valuation x31,300,000.00 Mayor Drake stated that he was still in favor of the County assessing City property and collecting the taxes, in fact more so than at the pre- vious meeting, because the figures were better. However, due to certain discrepancies within the assessed valuation totals, it was felt that certain adjustments should be made, and that it appeared that these adjustments could not be made in time to go ahead with the recommendation.
