lgzltage of Uakt '�Rmv Washington Tountg Uakr EI ma, AiltYieouts Minutes of the March -1, 1961 Council TRIeeting continued- Pa-- 2 ' orr,i and I,1a.rvin Wendt raise the question as to why they were taxed on the hatchery when that building had been torn down prior to May 11 1960. This being the case the building with a, true and full value of 8 940.00 was removed from the tax roles . Removal of this building had not been reported so the assessor agreed to handle this matter.
