Franklin County Tax Relief Aseo
eiatlen. speaking of tke meeting
l**td In the courthouse Saturday
?aid "the meeting of the Franklin
Tax Association was turned into a
j "eroaa-the-table" discussion of ae
tual tax conditions of tha coanty as
regarding especially the foreclose re
upon land for taxes, and regarding
the future financial ability of the
people of the coanty to carry the
Present heavy obligations. -
"With Mr. Speed. Mr. Perry. UN
Mr. Jones, of the New Board of
Commissioners present, H was not
long before the general di
had Involved Itself Into the
consideration regarding two
tiona: the injustice of the i
costs of foreclosing land at this
time for past due taxes, and, second
ly the absolute demand that we stop
borrowing money. "If we stop bor
rowing, we'll stop spending." said
one of the Commissioners, "for are
are not going to be able to collect
much taxes this year." While an
other Commissioner remarked, "ft
we have got to pay a lawyer and the
court (1500.00 to foreclose upon
land owners who owe only $000.01,
then I'm In favor of giving the peo
ple these taxes and let them keep
their homes."
"Many legal questions ware raised
among them bdlng whether or npt
a sound title to land could be given
by the Commissioners under fore
closure procedure as now being tal
lowed; whether the county could he
forced to pay the large amount of
fees as voted by the old Board of
Commissioners; whether the people
could he ejected, who now reside
upon their land being sold for taxes
which exceed the limitations as set
by law; and whether or not tie
present Board of Commissioners
could be Indicted for malfeasance In
office If they did take the taxes col
lected for specific purposes and ap
ply them to paying court coat, law
yer's collection fwi, and the adver
tising or iaad under tax foreclosure
sale.
"It was unanimously agreed that
the Bute should Uke over the oper
ation and upkaap of our highways,
aa well as the financing of tha six
months constitutional school term;
that eerUU county offices shonhL^e
discontinued; that ail county o?
penses should be reduced to no
ticeable extent, and the public sal
aries of school teacherb, -?eaunty of

appreciably reduced so that the

REVALUATION
PROPERTY
Raleigh. Not. 11.?The quadren
nial reraloatioB of property in all
the counties of the Hate, which will
start January l, lm, will be con
ducted under the general supervf
aion of the State Board of A eerie
meat, it waa learned here yesterday
from A. J. Maxwell, commissioner of
revenue, and chairman of the board,
following a meeting of the hoard at
which it was decided to exercise its
authority to direct this general re
valuation in its broader aspects.
1 with a view to securing greater unl
I fortuity than heretofore.
For some time the board has been
considering the question an to
whether it would exercise the au
thority which is given It in the law
to lay down certain broad regula
tion, and especially supervise the
general manner in which the revalu
ation is made. At first It was feared
by some members of the board that
any supervision on its part might be
resented in the counties. But the In
dications are that most of the coun
ties now desire the assistance of the
board of assessment, especially in
the preparation of the forma to
be used and la setting up general
uniform standards for evaluating
. property of the same type in the
I different counties.
"The board has not yet completed
I its consideration of all the factors
Involved, but at a preliminary meet
ing held recently it decided that
it would do what it can to assist the
county supervisors in making the
| valuation as uniform as possible ov
er the state," Chairman Khxwell
said "However, it hopes to make Its
part in the revaluation advisory
| rather than supervisory, and" to as
sist the county revaluation supervis
ors rather than actually direct them.
| "For the board members realise
that the revaluation supervisors in
each county naturally will have a
better understanding of values in
the different counties than any one
else, and that he and his township
supervisors must do the actual work.
But the board members feel that
' they can materially assist the local
I supervisors in setting up uniform
standards of value and In setting up
uniform methods of procedure to be
follewed In all the counties, so that
property may be fairly avaluated on
the same general basis in each com
munity".
I It is probably that the Board of
Assessment will call a meeting of all
the 1M Jax supervisors here la
Raleigh earl? In December, or as
soon as they are appointed by the
boards of county commissioners the
first Monday In December This scat
ter has not been definitely decided,
but the board has discussed It and
' seems to be favorable to it.
If this meeting Is held, the many
details entering into the revaluation
j process will be discussed, and a gen
I eral uniform method of procedure
decided upon. The county tax snper
! visors will have available the entire
' corps of tax experts to assist them
and to help them with their prob
lems, so that It la believed they will
i get a much better understandiag of
the Tax problems of the states as a
I whole than otherwise would be the
Many of the Inequalities now ex
isting in the valuations placed on
property in various sect loos at the
| state, with the resulting Inequality
In tax rates and tax burdens be
tween the various sections of the
state, with the resulting Inequality
I In tax rates and tax burdens between
the various counties has undoubtedly
come about because of a lack of un
derstanding of the problems involv
ed and because of a lack of any uni
form methods of determining values,
according to members of the board.
Neither has there been any uniform
system of making the revaluation or
of blanks and reports. It Is believed
that many of theae inequalities and
defects can be removed if he Board
of Assessment will take an active
part in assisting the county tax au
thorities In handling heee matters.
It Is aaderstood that Attorney
General Dennis O. Brummltt took
the lead in suggesting that the board
exercise Its powers to assist In this
ttadrendal revaluation, had that
all the other four members of the
board quickly agreed with him. so
that the satire board la now work
ing harmoniously toward this objec
tive.
