Holt County
Voters . ..
I am usinn this method to ask of you a favor, not being
able to contact you personally. My name will appear on the
ballot in the Primary August 8th as a Republican candidate
for renomination for County Assessor to be elected in Novem
ber.
I am asking your support if you feel that my conduct of
the difficult job of county assessor during my term of ser
vice meets your approval.
The laws governing county assessors are mandatory. It
has been my purpose to be guided by these laws and at the
same lime endea'-pr to equalize the burden of taxation so
that all citizens are treated alike and share according to their
property holdings.
In this way can your taxes be held at a minimum. It has
been my constant endeavor to conduct the office on this
principle. It is by experience that efficiency in the work of
assessing the property in Holt County is maintained.
I believe I have served as assessor a sufficient period to
know when all are making fair and reasonable returns on
their properly schedules. WHICH IS ALL THAT SHOULD
BE REQUIRED.
If you feel it is to your, your neighbors' and the county's
interests to help me along the way to continue the adminis
ralion of the assessor's office by your support at the August
8th primary, I shall appreciate it and deem it a personal
favor.
L. G. Gillespie
County Assessor
