Syllabus

<p>Taxation (210) —Excessive Assessment — Evidence—Sufficiency. Findings refusing to reduce the assessment for taxes on lumber in the yard, because of an alleged car shortage, are sustained, where it appears that the taxpayer was able to secure sufficient cars in five months to move approximately the entire cut, at almost its own price, which was largely in excess of the assessed valuation.</p> <p>Same (210). Error in assessing hemlock lumber as fir does not warrant a reduction of the taxes, where hemlock was selling for within $5.00 of the price of fir, which was not sufficient to overturn the assessment.</p>
