GLENN D.� IVEWTON - HUNTER PROPERTY
The following letter was received from Glenn D� Newton and pla`ced on
filee . . . -,.:
, . _ _ July 6, 1949
Hon. Orvil Swartz
Mayor of the City of Redding � .
and Members of the City _ .
Council9 Redding,
California �. . . , . ,. �
Gentlemen:
On behalf of Sadye M. Hunter and her minor son, Brantley
Hunter, I respectfully ask that you equalize the assessment
which Mr. �LRarry has placed on Lots 2, 3 , and J� of th� .Frisbie
Addition .to .Redding,,.in �the amount of �40 $00,00. Last year,
the taxes paid _on this �roperty was only �12$.A16. As nearly
as I can �scertaan,: the. assessment has been trebled ar quadrupled.
Such ar_ act .is , grossly inequitable to Mrs . Hunter who has a
consider•able portion of these lots leased to the �-1 Mot�r Co�.rt
at a rental of �215 .00 per month, through the year 1955 • On
'�i;�9��.`3'
� � those portions of lots facing Pine Street-, no improvements
are on the sameo Mrs . Hunter has for ten years tried to
. lease these lots and has� been unable to do so. Inasmuch as
she is the guardian for her minor son, she is handicapped �
in leasing for a long period of time because of the restrie-
tions placed by law on the length of leases for a minor.
Mrs . Hunter 'cannot possibly afford this amount of taxes and
Mr. Barry has completely overlooked that in placing valuations
upon lots, he should take into consideration the out'standing
lease izpon the premises . I might add that her sole income
is from these lots .
It is my opinion that to raise the assessed valuation
under the circumstances amounts to an arbitrary and excessive
act . I believe Mr. Barry would not have aeted in such an
�- arbitrax�y manner if he had known of' the outstanding lease
to the A-1 Motor Court . This is definitely a faetor to be
considered in valuation of the pro�perty. I shall be out of
town this week, and for that reason, I am unable to attend
any meeting when you sit as a Board of Equalization. It is
respectfully asked that you reduce the assessed valuation to
what it was last year iri view of the circumstances .
Very truly yours,
/s/ Glenn •D. Newton
