Mr. Walker stated <br />that the.1966�:aseessed value is $750 an acre and complainant considers the <br />fair market value to be $350; this property is presently in condemnation <br />for right of way for Sebastian River Bridge and the county wants his clients <br />to sell for $350 an acre; if this Board would lower the assessment to $350 <br />"we will get rid of condemnation suit". After discussion, Commissioner <br />Macdonald stated that there is no evidence that there is any inequality <br />in assessment and moved that the Assessor's assessment be approved.
