INSTALLING LAND RECORD
County Will Open a Permanent Rec
cord Of All Taxable Lands in the
County for Assessors Use

MONTESANO, Nov. 12.-The in
stallation of permanent record in
the assessors office, which has been
advised by the state accountants and
for which a provision of $4,000 has
been made in tho levy, and about
which there is a persistent rumor the
commissioners propose to employ a
special man, is really a simple piece
of clerical work, that might be well
done by employing an extra clerk at
$65 a month in the assessors office
The system already is in use in
many of the counties of the state
and the form of the books is prescrib-
permanent record in which are copied
the land descriptions, now copied ev-
cry two years into what are called
field books. Once installed, it does
away with the copying Of the descrip-
tions every time an assessment is
to be made.
The installation Of the books con-
sists merely in getting the books and
then copying into them the land de-
scriptions now contained in the field
books. together with the valuations.
Careful copying and checking is all
the expertness required The advan-
tage Of the permanent record is that
the assessor will have the record to
go back to for comparisons, and, the
saving Of the cost, once in two years,
Of writing tout all Of the legal des.
criptions Of lands.
