We have to depend largely upon our
memory" said State Assessor Hayford.
the other afternoon, for the facts that
We CLEAN at our meetings with the
State assessors. There are many
things that we make written note of
at the time, but of the great amount of
facts that are 50 valuable to us we
have to depend upon our memory and
| must say that Mr. Pottle. the chair
man of our board is one Of the most re
markable men for this that | ever saw.
He has one Of the most valuable in
sights into the valuation of the State
that was ever possessed by man, ana
he has made it only by his close appl-
cation"
People often wonder why 1t is that
the State assessors have TO meet the
local assessors of the different towns
and cities when these latter have made
out their returns. and as Mr.. Hayford
eypIains it, il is for the purpose of COM
pairing notes and learning why from
year to year the valuations have
changed as they do. This is indis-
pensable in the work of the State as
SCISSOR. 1t is partly for the same reason
that the State assessor meets the local
ones that the locals meet the different
men of the city or town. 1t is for the
purpose of determining just how the
local assessors have made up their as
sessmentS of the property.
Some assessors make a valuation at
one-half the actual price, others have
what they call a quick sale basis and
others have the full valuation. The
State assessors in meeting the men
personally can compare notes and ask
lust how each one does his work.
They can find out if the real estate of
one town is valued on the same basis
as another so that when the time
comes to make up the State valuation
they can do justice to the full basis
town by bringing the half basis up to
its full value for assessment and thus
euualize the valuation all over the
State.
Mr.. Hayford said the assessors are
nearly through with their meetings
with the assessors for the year, Cum
b4rland and York being the only two
counties that remain to be seen. Inc
meetings in York county VIII be held
Tuesday aud Wednesday. the l'th ana
18th Of this month. the former meeting
being held at Alfred and the latter at
Riddeford The meetings with the
Cumberland assessors will be in Port
land on the oath and the 18th OF the
month.
