APPRAISAL PROPERT PROGRESSING Officials Estimate Jdb Of Re valuation Will Bf Fin ished In February Burke County’s Ta* Appraisal Program, being conducted by the Cole-Layer-Trumble Company of Dayton, Ohio, is nov| between 60 and 70 per-cent complete and should be finished |around Feb ruray, according to a recent state ment by J. N. Tucker, Jr., who is in charge of the appcraisal. Mr. Trucker maijveiled at the “cooperation and assistance which Burke county residents have given .. .” members of thn tax appraisal teams which have ibeen at work in both farm and cijty areas. It was pointed out that the pur pose of the program is one for the equalization of taxes, and not necessarily to increase tax loads as many persons have! thought. Appraisal officials showed that their work is conducted along lines of a detailed, scientific appraisal, Which takes many things into con sideration, including material, la bor, and contract fcosts, along with other allied interests in the hous ing and property field. Fair Figures In order to arrive at fair figures, the Cole-Layer-fTrumble survey uses the year, JL941, (in Burke County) as their base year for la bor and material costs and the like. This serves to drive away from the many inflated values of the present yfcar. Replacement costs (that is, to have built new in 1941) on every? building are also figured. From this . estimate, normal figures of depreciation (utility, age, and whether obsolete) are ap plied. The estimators then arrive at a normal fair market value (based on 1941.) County Commissioners Sound values which are left are tinned over to the County Com missioners office. It is assumed that the Commissioners will take a percentage of this estimate for tax purpose^. (Unofficial estimates would plac£ this somewhere be tween 60 and 65 per-cent, straight across the board.) Routine Steps m the city ap praisal system run something like this: (1.) Tax maps are made. (2) Each house -and building is mea sured. (3) Each building is in spected, classified, and the type of construction is recorded. (4) Re placement costs are computed. (5) A final review is made of the pro perty. (This is done by another appraiser). Mr. Tucker pointed out that in the field, at least three appraisals ar emade on each piece appraisals are made on each piece may be assured of a fair deal. Ten men are now working in the county on farm appraisals, while seven cover the city work. Virgil W. Joyce of the Joyce Map ping Co., is in charge of the tax mapping. Although the year 1941 is used for buildings and homes, Mr. Tucker pointed out that, of course, land values change with a resi dential or business area’s develop ment or deteriation from year to year. DAR TO MEET The Colonel DAR Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will meet Monday evening at 7:30 o’clock at the home of Mrs. Clinton Brown. Valdese Declared Bird Sanctuary Valley Seventy Singing To Be Held Saturday The third big Valley Seventy Singing convention, sponsored by the Valdese Community Center, will be held Saturday night, No vember 19, at eight o’clock.
