Assessors face hard task as state agents press for value levels
The final conference of assessors was held at the county house as supplies were distributed and property appraisements began. State tax officials insist valuations stay near current levels and higher authorities will intervene if lower appraisals are attempted, stressing real estate values set by state leadership. Farmers debate dower valuations, but unity remains urged if farmers bear more tax burden. Assessors must aim for true cash value and avoid gaps between adjacent farms, maintaining equal appraisals to keep the tax system fair.
