County Auditor Theodore R. Boring announced that the 1949 real estate appraisal shows land and buildings valued at 5.375 million dollars, up about 10 percent from 1948, with major industry gains driving the rise. He said taxes should not rise and the budget commission aims to keep tax rates close to last year despite higher valuations. The appraisal still must be approved by the State Tax Commission and local property owners may file complaints in writing.
