The suit charges that Davis commission- ers are preparing to mislead 40,000 county property owners by arbitrarily reducing the property value figures 14 percent. The Tax Commission, the' suit notes, is responsible for seeing that property throughout the state is being taxed according to is actual value. The commission administers a program under which all property is reappraised every five years. ' Last yaar, the Tax Commission contracted with Davis County to reappraise property in the county. The reappraisals generally caused land values listed on tax rolls to increase. Subsequently, wLthout the Tax Commission's s approval, the suit says, commissioners decided to change the new, more accurate property value lists by reducing all values on those lists 14 percent. By altering the listed values, the commission would lower taxes, since tax bills are based on a standard standard mill levy applied against the amount property is worth. The suit charges if Davis commissioners are allowed to alter property value amounts listed on tax rolls, the county and state will lose revenue needed for schools and local government. Moreover, the suit says, other county governments will be misled into believing they also may arbitrarily change propertk tax valuations. Michael L. Deamer, assistant attorney general, said the commissioners could legally reduce taxes by lewering the mill levy. , t i - creek contaminate stop Davis tax revaluation I gt'" - trii ,,,,r7rm.57,!frort-,,,,,Tstwtip- - - State tiles surt . 7.

However, charges were filed against Townsend for allegedly tampering with a witness, one Gust Marion Janis, an informant who spread stories that drugs were in the apartment and thus provided "bait" ior would-b- e burglars.

Townsend admitted that after the shooting he failed to tell the whole story of the burglary and also advised Janis to tell a different story. However, the deputy did give some days later a full account of what led to the burglary attempt , and of Janis's involvement in helping to set it up. During the trial, Townsend defended his actions by indicating that be was in shock after the shooting, that he was trying to protect Janis's life, and 1 Scores of shoppers and hundreds of curious visited the new ZCMI Center in downtown Salt Lake City today as it opeued for the first time since construction began more than four years ago.
