WILLIAMS EXPECTS
TO ASSESS LANDS
COUNTY ASSESSOR WILL TRY TO
DO THIS JOB IN PERSON AND
AVOID INEQUALITIES.
(From Mondays Daily Herald. J

tiiVth nhphioy tIoty tleiuiu.t
In order to get, if possible, near
ly uniform assessment of the real es-
tate of the county, Tax Assessor Will
liams is going to try to make al of
the realty assessments in person this
year. Mr.. Williams said this morning
that he realized that no matter how
conscientious and how well informed
they might be that no two men would
arrive at the-same valuations and for
that reason he recognized that in the
present assessment property in some
localities had been assessed on basis
different from that used in Others.
To avoid these inequalities Mr.. Will
liams will endeayor to make the as
sessments Of lands, leaving to his dep
uties as far, as possible the work of
listing and assessing tie personal prop
erty. OF course II is huge task to as.
sess the lands of Maury county and he
said today that he might find 1t too
much for one man and in that event
would of course have to call TO his as.
sistance deputies.

o. and that helped the trade One
dealer from Giles county said at The
Herald office that he expected to lose
around $4,000 on his bunch of mules
and that he believed at the prices he
had been offered he would close out
just about that much on the wrong
side OF the ledger
II was his Willingness TO liquidate,
to accept the losses now rather than
postpone them longer that resulted in
revival of trading. II was estimated
that the number Of mules changing
hands today would be equal to or
above the number that were sold on
both of the previous first Mondays.
There were plenty of extra fine
mules here today. Generally they had
been well conditioned and in the war
and postwar days would have been
eagerly sought after. 1t was strictly
a buyers market. A year ago it was
strictly a sellers market. The change
from one extreme to the other of
course explains the tremendous drop
in values. However, mules. low as
they are, have not dropped proper
tionately In value as have cattle or
corn.
From the appearance of the square
and streets around and leading into
it one was reminded of the boom days
of mules. There were hundreds Of the
long cared animals here. They came
from all over the county and from all
Of the adjoining counties and as far
west as the Tennessee river. They
arrived all day Sunday and by mid
afternoon all of the uptown stables
were packed to the guards. They
came in this morning from daylight.
A severe rain strom during the morn
ing drove many of them to shelter.
