Watauga County Tax Assessors Plan to Equalize Property
A meeting of county tax assessors was held at the courthouse to adopt a plan for equalizing property assessments. They proposed three grade values for livestock and set real estate at two thirds of its common rating value. Officials expect the measures to raise at least $5,000 annually for the county treasury, aiding debt payoff. The column also notes talk of railroad prospects, oil and copper prospecting by State Line Copper Co. in Watauga Cove Creek area, and opinions on political matters and tariffs.
