petition 1977-52 mr. james h. harris
It was pointed out to the Board regarding Petition 1977-52 that although Mr. Harris’s request for Homestead Exemption was denied, the Board needed to take action on his request for a Disability Exemption. Discussion followed.

The Clerk informed the Board that the Special Master’s Report had been received from Mr. Edwin Waite. The letter was read into the record. Discussion followed.
On a motion by Mrs. Wycoff, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board accepted the recommendation of the Property Appraiser as supported by the Special Master and denied the Shaws’ request for a lower assessment. Mr. Beals noted that it would have been cheaper to grant the Shaws relief rather than to have spent the money on a Special Master.
On a motion by Mr. Beals, seconded by Mrs. Wycoff and carried unanimously, the Special Master’s bill for two half-days at a total of $250.00 was approved for payment.
Mrs. Wycoff suggested it be put into the record that the members of the Property Appraisal Adjustment Board Session 1977 would not be compensated for travel allowance in the performance of their duties.
