Tax Assessment
Continued from page

and tax bills; and in collection
work. Therefor, the assessor stat
ed, only part of the city and a
handful of farms have been re-
assessed for 1857. This year the
CITY will be completed, Wakeland
said and work will start IN the
school district.
Property owners are asked TO
bear with the assessor on minor
errors in valuation, but to call
TO his attention errors in deScrip-
sion, names, addresses, and gross
over valuation. If property has
mot been assessed higher than
last year property owners are
asked to remember the following
points before protesting to the
assessor.
The basis for real property as
Sessment is its full and true val
ne, which is usually arrived at by
comparative, conservative sale
prices for land and by using 90
percent of contract construction
cost less depreciation for build
.ings. An assessment pretty close
10 what the property owner
would sell for is a good one, and
mot too high, Wakeland said.
Comparison with former as
sessment or other property net
recently assessed in this ditrict
rs meaningless.
Asking for special treatment. Oh
protesting the tax itself, the mill
rate. and taxes in general to the
assessor is waste of time, ne
pointed out. The assessor may
agree with many of the senti-
rnents, but can do little about It.

BOrers Serious Threat To Drought
Hit Trees

BOrers Serious Threat To Drought
Hit Trees
Borers are now a great threat
to shade trees, weakened by scar
ing summer heat and drought.
Borers are dangerous enemies
They tunnel under the bark in the
cambium layer where trees growth
takes place. AS their galleries gir-
die a tree it loses vigor and event
ually dies, according to Roland K
DobsOn, Representative of the Bart
lett Tree Expert Co.
Once borers become established
it is not easy to control them. BoreT
attack can be prevented, however
by providing normal growth con-
ditiOns. This means good tree care
Trees weakened by drought, con-
struction injury or any cause are
most susceptible to borer attack
That attack can occur in late
summer or early fall. Borers have
built-in sense of smiling" out
weakened trees. Some limit their
invasion to smaller branches
Others invade the trunk or larger
branches.
The most common borers are
these:
Two-line chestnut borer which
attacks all varieties of oak, beech,
chestnut and iron wood.
Bronze borer which attacks all
birch, poplar. willow and quaking
aspen work from the top of the tree
down.
Flat-headed apple borer which
attacks apple, poplar, willow, syca-
more, oak maple, cherry, linden
and apricot.
Spotted hemlock borer which in
vades spruce as well as hemlock
Still other borers take on white,
Scotch and Austrian pine. Dogwood
borers are serious enemies of dog
wood trees.
To prevent borer attack, build up
trees resistance. Prune and burn
dead and dying limbs that may har-
Dor borers. Feed trees this fall to
restore vigor.
Where borers are detected, paint
the trunk and branches with q
slurry of DDT. Some borers can be
dug out with wire. Borer paste
is also effective.
