CHANGES ARE SOUGHT
|. IN ASSESSMENT LAW

Ben W. West as secretary of the Ore
gon Association of County Assessors,
mas been receiving many letters from
county assessors urging that immedia,,
steps be taken to bring about legisla-
ton which will remedy the presens
statutes applicable to assessment and
property valuation work
(, BY a recent ruling Of the supreme
court, assessors and their deputies are
not permitted to administer oaths in
making personal property assessments
This is saidto be due to the limited cor
fines of the old statutes, although tn,
oath administration in this part Of tht
work has been the practice for year
of all the assessors of the state.
From the point Of view of the eoun
ty assessors of the state. the recent rul
ing seriously limits the value of al
praisement work,as the taxpayer coul
evade the payment of a portion of IL
i, personal 'N-es if the valuation we
not made under oath.
1t is not thought that any effort W
be made to present the proposed rer
edial legislation to the special sessi
now pending.
