The COUNTY D1srRIUrEp.
The Matter of Assessment and Deputy
Assessors Settled.

For some time the county court has
been considering the matter Of deputy
assessors and assessments and have
now decided on means which is not
only the most practical but which will
bea great aid in getting the correct
| assessments and guard against many
| complaints that are continually COM
| ing in from taxpal ers that their as
sessment is incorrect since the assessor
! has not seen othem in person. This
! not only makes it difficult for the as.
SCISSOR but for the county court which
| has to look into these matters.
The county according 70 this plan
is divided into seven districts which
will be known as assessment districts
In each district a oepnty assessor will
be appointed who will see each prop
erty owner in that district in person
and obtain more accurate description |
of the property and valuation of the |
same and thus prevent the owner of |
such property from coming later and |
complaing about his assessment being
incorrect.
The deputies so far appointed in the
several districts for the year 1899 are
as follows: In distric6 No. known as
Hood River district, G. J. Gesling. in
