THE ASSESSORS MERT.--Eleven county
assessors met in Portland yeste rday,
among them being w + Deakins, OF this
county. The following of particular in
terest here appears in the Telegram g
account of the meeting: Mr. Gearhart, ,ot
Clatsop, then gave the state board rap
by saying that all of Clatsop's values
would not reach as high as one township
in Linn county, yet Clatsop had been
assessed by the board higher than Linn.
Assessor Deakin, of Linn. said Albany
was badly assessed last year. He did
not wish to criticise his predecessor, but
certain parts of the county had been
favored. "Town property is dead, and is
not worth darn and will not sell for
much" continued Mr. Deakin, land cat
tie IN cur county have been assessed for
more than they would bring in the
market yet intendto assess all in sight.
In some cases l shall raise, but the aver
age will be about the same. Any man
who goes in to increase taxes in Linn
would better move, and i was raised
there. Assessor Sears called attention
to the fact that the visitors should come
to some agreement regarding their inten-
tions in the matter of percentage on cash
values. With the exception Of Messrs
Sterling and Deakin, all were of the
opinion that their assessments would
run from rs per cent to so per cant OF
cash values for the ensuing year.
