Chairman '_£cLeod, Pope, Lowdermilk, & County Atty. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman and minutes were read and approved. It is ordered that the recormnenda.ti r. of Jas. A. Pearsall,list- taker of Averasboro Township, on the property of Tilghman Lumber Co. be accepted. The recommendation is as follows. Harnett County, Averasboro Township. Report of Jas. Pearsall, List -Taker Order of Board of Co-missioners. July 15th, 1929. To the Board of Commissioner, Harnett County; Acting under your order of July 8th, I went to the plant of the Tilghman Lumber Co. near Dunn, and found; That their tram road track lay mainly in another county and so listed, thot approximately three miles was in Averasboro, and supposedly listed in this Township, though therei is no accounting,: for the steel rails removed and sold, which should be counted 1. the values. The big saw -mill is there, fully equipped, but idle, The planing mill is there with the sheds and machinery, and in use, The mill site consists of 25 acres of land, they ave me a list of. machinery they are offering for sale, and s -le price amounts to $12,538.00. There are 5 dwellings on the site, good. substantial buildings, for use of their white employees, their quarters for oommcn laborers has practically no value exoept the land. They report 1000 to 600 dollars worth of lumber on hand May 1st, last, The_r Locomotives (2) and other trap road equipment are ther (supposed to be included in the list of $12!638.00) tho' they had previously sold and delivered all of the lot- trucks for trim road. Considering what is there and the sales made and collected for and the small amount of lumbe on hand as reported, my opinion is that their request is for too :Ruch reduction on assessment. The big saw -mill is idle and some of the other property is not in use at present, tho the plant is being used by Tilghman Culbreth (using a new ground -mill recently erected) I have consulted other tax payers, men successfull in their business and capable of passing on the question, from their opinin, with my own, I think a reduction of about 1/3 of the assessment wouod be fair to therm and to the balance of tax- payers, this would leave the assessment on the mill property $25000.00. They have 8 dwellings in Dunn listed at $5650.00 on which they ask no reduction. Respectfully, Jas. i. Pearsall e 1 0: J RESOLUTION: NORTH CAROLINA, RESOLUTION OF BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF HARNETT COUNTY HARNETT COUNTY, DECLARING RESULTS OF SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX ELECTIONS.
