City of Seattle Records

Seattle W T Aug 15th 89 To the Board of Tax Equalization: We ask that our business valued at $11100 be reduced to $7500. Since last year we put in a book bindery outfit costing $1200 & with bindery materials and stock amounts to about $1700. For this we added $1500 to last years assessment it having been $6000 but the assessor has increased it to 11100 almost double. This $7500 in our detail list represents our printing material Stock & Bindery & considering that 1/2 our stock burned up & that we voluntarily added 25% to last years assessment it should have stood at that. Yours Respectfully Lowman & Hanford Sr Pts by John Lowman Pres.
