ORDERS ASSESSMENT
AT FULL VALUATION

County Assessor Matthews received
notice from the state board of tax
commissioners today stating that all
personal property must be assessed at
it's true value but that because of the
low valuation made on real estate,
personal property will be entitled to
an exemption of IS per cent.
If the property is not assessed at it's
true cash value the board says the ex-
emption will not apply. The county as
SCISSOR is required to make weekly
report Of the new assessments to be
placed on the tax duplicates.
Mr.. Matthews says that he is op-
posed to the exemption clause on per-
sonal property for the reason that ev-
cry property owner reports his prop
erty at no more than 5 per cent it's
real value and consequently would re-
ceive the advantage of a further re-
duction.
