COUNTY ASSESSOR in
HIGH GEAR NOW

Unusual activity prevails in the
county assessor s department where AS
SCISSOR Wiley M. Weaver and his force
are rushed with the work of recording
assessed valuations. Under the law the
work of assessing commences the first
Monday in March and continues until
July /. In previous years it has been
impossible to complete the work in the
required time, and Assessor Weaver
saws the same condition will obtain
this year, owing to the small force of
clerks which he is allowed and the
limited quarters in which they have TO
work.
There are over 10000 accounts on the
county tax lists, to assess which re-
quires n force of men in the field who
gather the necessary data and turn 1t
over to the office force, who must then
get it in proper shape to submit to the
supervisors. This involves Il great deal
of detail, making it necessary TO work
at top speed and after regular hours.
According 30 Assessor Weaver, con
siderable decrease in assessed county
valuat ion will be made this year, owing
to the action of the supervisors in re-
ducing the tax rate nearly 40 percent.
Last years valuation amounted to
$72,431,76
In addition to reducing the tax rate,
exemptions have been increased.
"The total valuation may possibly
equal that of last year. said Mr..
Weaver, "but | doubt it very much,
and in fact fully believe it will fall
short of last years figures, though
how much, | am unable to estimate. -
