Mr. Ehrick said there may not be favorable action taken and there may be opposition in our own City Assessor's office and in order to protect ourselves he filed in District Court the status of this property. He said the Statutes require that one-half of the real estate property taxes be paid by May 31st. He recommended that this half of the taxes be paid at this time and then if favorable action is taken on our excemption applications the money would be refunded by the County.
