State Valuation May Show Gains For Last Year
The Maine board of state assessors, revising the 1925 1928 valuation, expects a rise though not like two years ago when nearly 60 million was added. Stetson notes a bank stock tax shifts about 10 million from local to state valuation, livestock decline, hay crop failures in 1921, and possible real estate increases. Hearings with local assessors and large industries seek data to equalize personal and real property across the state. The process should take about six weeks.
