TA rv-» IC ftt & A Ik I
County's Method Of Revaluation
Comes Up For Criticism At Meet
By KAY HORNER'
New* Editor
An Inez resident took
his compaints about the
county's recent revalu
ation process to county
commissioners Monday
charging the revalu
ation method was
inadequate and incom
plete.
Ernest B. Harris told
the board at its regular
meeting that he was
taxed for a parcel of
property he didn't own,
not taxed for one he did
own, and that represen
tatives of Carroll-Phelps
Company of Winston
Salem, the county's ap
praisal firm, had been
unable to locate the par
cels on aerial maps used
in the revaluation.
"I'm just one," Harris
said. "How many others
are wrong? If this is all
you have, it's a job in
complete."
According to Janice
Haynes, Warren County
tax supervisor, errors
such as those found by
Harris are not the fault
of the appraisal firm.
When the company
contracted to do the
revaluation, they
agreed to use existing
aerial photographs
made in 1972 by the
federal Agricultural
Stabilization and Con
servation Service. With
those maps, Mrs.
Haynes said, it is not
possible to pinpoint
exact locations.
Efforts to get com
missioners' approval for
the entire mapping of
the county for tax pur
poses have been unsuc
cessful, she said.
Of about 10,000
property owners in the
county, only 396 have
requested hearings with
the appraisers, accor
ding to Steve Whitacre
with Carroll-Phelps
Company.
Those who are not
satisfied with that
hearing may appear
before the Warren Coun
ty Board of Equaliza
tion and Review in
April.
Whitacre has said that
he expects fewer than 50
complaints to be taken
to that board.
The commissioners
took no action on Harris'
complaints.
Harris was assured a
correction of his tax
notice in a hearing with
the appraisers on July 5.
In other business, the
commissioners autho
rized the county
manager and industrial
developer to proceed
with construction of a
12-inch water line under
U. S. 1 across from the
Owens-Illinois plant site
near Ridgeway to
provide a hook-up for O
I's primary carrier,
Swing Transport.
Last month, The
Warren Group had been
authorized to proceed
with the project at a cost
not to exceed $10,309 or
cost plus 10 percent,
whichever was lower.
However, the commis
sioners rescinded that
action after Industrial
Developer Jim Whitley
submitted additional
bids for the work.
The commissioners
stipulated that The
Warren Group, which
had been given limited
time at the last meeting
to work up a bid, be
allowed to submit a
more detailed bid for the
project as the other con
tractors were allowed to
do.
Funding of the project
is to come out of the
county's special $100,000
General Assembly ap
propriation for
economic development
made to the county last
year.
The board also ap
proved $1,000 for an
engineering plan and in
spection of the water
line by L. E. Wooten &
Co.
In addition, the board:
—Tentatively accept
ed a low bid of $20,050
from Cooper & Watson
Company for renovation
of the basement of the
county Agricultural
Building for occupancy
by the Sheriff's Depar
tment pending avail
ability of bonding for the
contractor;
—Accepted a low bid
of $24,770 from Roanoke
Construction Company
for completion of water
and sewer hook-ups in
the Red Hill area in con
nection with a com
munity development
block grant program.
—Authorized the
county manager to hold
an auction Saturday,
Sept 1, for disposal of
surplus county proper
ty. The auction will be
held in the parking lot
adjacent to the Hen
dricks Building on Front
Street in Warrenton.
—Scheduled a public
hearing on August 15 at
7:30 p. m. at the Warren
County courthouse on a
$1 million industrial
revenue bond project
planned by Owens
Illinois in connection
with its location of a $15
million facility near
Ridgeway.
—Gave final approval
to the issuance of $2
million in Industrial
Revenue Bonds by
Cochrane Furniture
Company for expansion
to its plant in Warren
ton.
