PLAN NEW SYSTEM
ON ASSESSMENTS
COUNTY ASSESSOR WILL DO AWAY
WITH FIELD DEPUTIES AND
ADOPT SOMER SYSTEM.
Expects to Eliminate Heavy Expense
to the COunty-Assess Latah in
Units-Tax Receipts Heavy.

According to Assessor Martinson,
field assessors will probably be done
away with in making assessments in
Latah county and all assessments for
1914 made under the Somer system, a
system which is now in vogue in other
states.
Assessor Martinson stated today that
the work of making the 1914 as
sessments would begin at once. He
has just completed sectional maps of
the county which will facilitate the
work of assessing. While he expects
the county board to take some action
at its coming session in providing for
the cruising of timber in the county for
assessment purposes, it is not expected
that the timber will be cruised in
time for the 1914 roll and the assess
ment will be made on the old basis.
Cost a Great Factor.
Mr.. Martinson states that the cost
of making the assessment is great
factor and that in adopting the Somer
system much expense will be elimina-
ted. In making the assessment in all
towns of the county the county as
SCISSOR expects to take the matter up
with the municipal authorities in each |
place and have a board of appraisers |
named and in such cases where the |
board of appraisers may not be satis
