State Evidently
Wants More Taxes
Please find enclosed a list of
information forwarded to this of
fice from the Office of State Tax
Commissioner.
All property including real
estate will be assessed as of April
1st this year. Assessors have been
instructed by the Tax Commis
sioner to assess all property at its
actual value. (This, however,
should not be construed to mean
the price that property might
bring under foreclosure or tax
sale.
A new ruling from the Tax
Commissioner reads as follows:
“This year it will be necessary
for every precinct assessor to se
cure an inventory from all busi
nesses that they assess: no except
ion is to be made to this rule. I
would suggest that the county
assessor contact as many of the
j large business houses as he pos
J sibly can by letter, bulletin, or
I

1m In many communities and over many long dis- m

greater volume of calls than formerly. |§

facilities in use beyond the time they normally jl
/ would be replaced. m
3a In an increasing number of places everyone
cannot always be provided just the type of tele- a
phone service that is wanted. S
4. Telephone operating expenses have increased jK
to such an extent that earnings are lower in spite M
of a greater volume of business. B
All war requirements for telephone service are be- B
ing met promptly and fully, and we pledge our- 1|
selves to provide the general public with the best b
service that is possible under existing conditions. 1
