Italy Herald, august d.
There are seemingly bulls" and
clears" in the numbep of witnesses
who are being examined here by the
experts Of the state board of tax equal.
izers. That is there are witnesses
who place, high values on the lands
of the county, while there are wit.
nesses who are inclined to pull values
down to the lowest possible notch.
There is said to be the widest posi-
BILE variation in the testimony before
the examiners.
There is wide difference in what
the average person thinks constitutes
actual cash value" For example
some hold to the view that if a place
sells for $4,000 on time with interest
bearing notes, its actual cash value
would be $4,000 Then there are
those who declare that sales made on
credit should be discounted at least
ten per cent. One witness says that
actual cash value is the amount that
the owner can borrow on the property.
Others declare that the price at which
farm sells is not it's actual cash val
ue for the reason that the man who
purchased it might be the lone indi.
vidual who would place anything like
that value upon 1t.
Some of the witnesses are very re-
luctant to place valuations upon prop
erty. They simply win not commit
themselves. The examiners have
been very much disappointed with
some of the witnesses and one of the
experts declared that unless they
could get testimony more in harmo-
ny with what he conceived to be the
facts the property Of the county would
be raised on per cent basis.
If property assessed on a per cent
basis the farm lands win be raised
from about "a per cent to 100 per-
cent. In other words farm values
win be raised to four times what they
are now.
