Osborne, secretary of the state board of taxation, for a conference in regard to enforcement of the new law ju?t pigncd by the governor requiring a revaluafon of Teal estate for assess ment this year. For two or three hour.' the conference discussed the task un expectedly set by the legislature. It was the opinion of the assessors that the legislature evidently expected a reduction in land values or it would not have passed a law requiring re valuation this spring and next spring end every two years thereafter in lieu of the o'd law calling for revaluation every four years. There was a diver sity of opinion, however, among the assessors as to whether a reduction of valuation will result. Some are of the opinion land is not assessed too high, -n considering the drop in selling price since the valuation of list year, f liers tnink land should be reduced fifty yer cent in asses.cd value under last year's figures. Some argue that land assessed fair ly at Jlhe present reduced price will not be valued less than it was valued last year for the reason that the aver age valuation last year was only fiS per cent of the adjusted sales values one year before land reached the peak price. In other words it was not as sessed last year at its market or in flated value as Fome believe. The assessors and county clerks present d'd rot attempt to agree upon a course of action. Each assessor is at liberty to do what he thinks ripht in his own county. Secretary Brcs urged assessors to pay more attention to equalization of values as between tracts of land rather than trying to cut down the assessed value of real estate. Many of the assessors are now in office and do not feel that they are bound by the work of their predecessor in office. To make the work loubly difficult there is no standard of values to go by because land is not idling at any price. How to arrive at the true value of land is a problem that is puzzling. ' Horace .
