He pointed out that the board as expected hundreds of people i the county to appear before it o register complaints over the igh valuation placed on the roperty. nother meeting To date, with one more meet ig scheduled at which the tax ayers may present their com ilaints, Cobb estimated that less han 100 people had appeared be ore the board with complaints. Approximately half of the total lumber of complaints have been eceived from the citizens of lhapel Hill township where in nany instances property values rere increased tremendously by he board pf assessors. However, Cobb pointed out, the otal increase does not represent ncreases in homes and buildihgs iwned by private citizens. “A :onsiderable amount” was placed in the county tax books by the ’acrfic mills and other increases cere registered by business louses and property in Chapel lill. 10ARD SWAMPED Because a large number of the axpayers in Chapel Hill' town hip received their new valuations m Saturday and did not have ime to compare them with their eighbor’s, the commissioners vere swamped with a lar*>e Burn er of people At tbfir m,ee';i&g.b> he court house on IVIonc ng. Decision was made after hear ng the many complaints to place he county’s books in the city nanager’s office in Chapel Hill on Tuesday, July 8, and have another meeting of the board sitting as th? board of equalization and re view on Wednesday, July 9.

Ferrell, ex ecutive secretary of the Medical Care Commission, has announced.
