County Assessors
Take No Action at
Lincoln Meeting
County Assessor Pilkington returned
from Lincoln Saturday, where he had
been in attendance at the meeting of
county assessors and clerks held at the
tate house, with Secretary Philip
Bross of the department of finance
and H. 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. '
