Summary

Peaine Township selected a low chloride bid at its June 21, 1984 special meeting, and the August issue published the supervisor’s July 26 challenge to the township’s property-equalization factor.

Evidence limits

The minutes and letter preserve the township’s position; they are not the bid, assessment, or tax-tribunal record.

Sources

  1. Reports the June 21 selection of Bud Martin Excavating's $9.96-per-80-pound-bag chloride bid and publishes Supervisor R. E. Burris's July 26 letter alleging errors and self-review in Peaine Township property equalization. It is a newspaper report and advocacy letter, not a bid file, tax tribunal ruling, or assessment record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
