Cooper said. . Cooper said his company had revalued land in 26 of the 100 counties of the state, including Vance, Halifarc, Nash, bordering Warren, and he felt that people generally had been satisfied with the result, although there would be some lew kicks. He said that it is impossible to make a 100% equalization of land but he felt that they could be from 96 to 97 per cent accurate and that this was as close as could be expected. r rum ineir experience in other counties. Cooper said, it is likely that the greatest discrepancies in value would be found in timber land. He said that in Bertie County they found that other real estate was listed for about one-third of its value and timber land, much of it owned by the timber industry, was valued from a fifth to a sixth of its fair value. In this connection he said when one large timber owner protested the valuation set by his company, he offered to cruise the tract and put' the value determined by the cruise on it. The owner said that this would not be necessary, that he was satisfied. In reply to a question, Cooper said that they picked up from 500 to 600 parcels of land in Bertie that had not been listed, although these were mostly small tracts. He said there was a considerable pickup of unlisted residences, principally on farms where the owners children had built homes. Cooper and Hester said that 'x if their company were given the job of revaluing the county within the near future, that " they would conclude their work by December 15. Following the departure of Cooper and Hester, the commissioners asked Clerk S. E. Allen to write two other companies to appear before the | board at their February meeting and submit bids on the |j work. Before adjournment, County Agent Frank Reams appeared dim ore tne commissioners for a brief discussion on the Social | Security problem in the county. Reams said that an investigation had revealed that there are 394 persons 65-years okl eligible to apply for Social 9 Security. If placed on the rolls 3 they would receive $225,000 in Social Security checks. This, he said, would not only reduce the burden of the Welfare De- J partment but would add con- 3 siderably to the econmy of the 3 county. Reams told the commission- j ers that he felt that they | might hire a man to assist J these people in applying for -A .Social Security or that it could /| be handled by the Extension agents if they desired, with little or no cost.
