| Summary: | Box 2 Folder 17: "We’re up to folder 17, which is a tower, part of, well know it’s not part it’s from April 1950 referring to raising the land valuation. This is a protest by the Johnston Manufacturing Company, the original owner company of WJLD, when they were located at 408 North 21st Street. Apparently, they also made shirts, The letter is signed by George (Geo) Johnston (that would be George the first) I guess I could picture that. April 20, 1950 received by the Board of Equalization on April 21, where they are saying, “Hey, you raised the value of the land from $478 to $16,200” and they believe it to be excessive and unfair, please arrange a hearing, and it was protested. From looking at the grid, we see that the land value was increased after adjudication to $7,000. The grid shows reevaluations through 1974. This grid was found in the WJLD files with the original protest letter attached."
