THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1977 Texas A&M University By STEVE MAYER A difference of approximately 900,000 in property assessment allies has prompted Don R. Dale, esident of Dondaco Inc., to file it against the A&M Consolidated oard of Equalization. Dale is a rmer College Station city coun- ilman. The suit, filed last Thursday,_ claims the board made an unfair as sessment of property he owns in the Consolidated school district. Dale said the property, Pooh’s Park and several tracts on Holleman Drive, should be assessed at $441,956. The equalization board placed the value at $1,342,850. The College Station Tax As sessor s Office assesses it at approx-- me for a long time.” Charles spent Sunday at the ranch of Anne Armstrong, former ambassador to Great Britain. Monday, the prince went on a tour of the Johnson Space Center in Houston. campus activities imately $422,000. However, a spokesman for the office said the Dale property has not been reap praised since 1975. The $1,342,850 figure given by the A&M Consolidated tax office and the equalization hoard was a re sult of a reappraisal of all properties in College Station during the past year, the spokesman said. The suit was filed under a new Texas statute which places the bur den of proof of the assessment’s ac curacy on the equalization hoard, rather than the taxpayer. Dale said he believes there could be an abundance of tax suits against the equalization board because of the statute and “if taxes remain the same.” Dale is represented by the Col lege Station law firm of Goode, Hoelscher & Lipsey. A court date for the case has not been set. Tickets Available at MSC Box Office 845-2916 Opera & Performing Arts Society A.
