TO MAKE CHANGE
IN THE BOARD
TREASURER AND ASSESSOR
Equalization Board Increased to Five
Members-Said to Be- =
Good Move.

Word was received in the county
assessors office Thursday morning
announcing radical change in the
markeup OF the board Of equaliza-
ton. When the board meets in Au-
gust 1t will have five members in
stead Of three, the additional mem
bers to be County Assessor J. w.
Sindall and County Treasurer Lee
Title. The other three will be the
county commissioners. Heretofore
the county commissioners alone have
composed the board.
This Is an excellent move" stat
ed Chief Deputy Assessor McWain to
the Herald Thursday. Before the
assessor has had no voice in the mat
ter. After the assessment rolls have
been turned in the county commits
sioners have had complete control of
the equalization, the assessor being
called upon occasionally for advice
In regard to certain assessments, but
otherwise he has had no actual voice
in the changing of the assessed valu-
atoms.
1T is right that he should have,
however. He is thoroughly familiar
with the rolls and is practically &C
quainted with the conditions sur.
rounding the various assessments.
This county is becoming so thick
fy populated and is so large 1t is
difficult for the board to handle all
the cases. The addition of these
two men will assist, but there are
several other moves which would be
of value to the assessors office and
which we hope will be established
before many years.
These Improvements have to dc
with the work in the office and are
relative to notifications and other
matters which will facilitate work
when adopted.
with the addition Of the assessor
and the treasurer to the board OF
equalization, those officers will have
an equal voice with the other mem.
bers of the board and many littlt
tangles which have heretofore caused
trouble will be Strengthened out In
a hurry under the new method"
The board will have it's meeting
August 5. The work OF assessing I.
progressing rapidly and although
there is some objection to the as
sessing of merchandise in transit
the members OF the assessors office
believe the assessment will hole
good and that no difficulty of a seri
Gus nature will be encountered.
