Anyone who thinks that his property is valued at more than 40 per cent of value has been in vited to come to the Tax Super visor's office in the Courthouse, discuss the matter and request a review. 1 am writing this letter because I believe that Coke Candler, chair man of the Board of County Com missioners, is being blamed un justly by dissatisfied taxpayers when he had positively nothing to do with the raising of tax as sessments. I believe in giving ev ery man a square deal, and Mr. Candler is being made a victim of circumstances. I hate to see cer tain people in Asheville who pro moted the revaluation using it as a means of getting control of the county government. Yours very truly, Frank Buckner. FOR ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE Don’t let yourself be wrecked in a car that wasn't checked. The North Carolina Department of Mo tor Vehicles urges all Tar Heel motorists to have their car safety checked today and avoid accidents tomorrow. These Are the Facts Concering the Tax Revaluation, which has been misunderstood by many and is being wilfully misrepresented by some: 1 revaluation was not conducted by the board of County Commissioners but by the Buncombe County Board of Tax Supervision, a joint City-County function created bY the Legislature in'1937. The Board of Tax Supervision is not controlled by either the County Commissioners or the City Council but is an independent board removed one step from politics. Its operations are financed jointly by the City and County. The personnel of the board which conducted the revaluation was appointed by the Legislature in 1947. Coke Candler did not determine a single valuation and he and the other County Com missioners are without power to raise or lower a single citizen s tax assessment. °ne of Mr. Candler's opponents, a former City Councilman, Mr. C. Fred Brown, was one of the original promoters of the revaluation. ?he only decision which Coke Candler and the other County Commissioners made dur ! In9 the entire revaluation was to join with the City Council in 1954 in appropriating money to pay for it. Af the time that decision was made, Mr. Candler's opponent, the former City Coun Cl|man, stood before him as spokesman for a group and insisted that it was the Com | missioners' duty to assist the City in financing the needed revaluation. Re decision to employ an out-of-town professional appraisal firm was made by the 8oard of Tax Supervision on July 6, 1954 and not by the Board of County Comm.s Sl°ners. The Minutes of the Board of Tax Supervision show that Mr. Candler s op P/nent Mr. Brown, and other representatives of the Greater Asheville Count.I and the Seville Real Estate Board were present when the decision was made These groups | had 9one on record as favoring the use of professional appraisers. And were there 1 see that it was done. SurelV the supporters of Mr. Candler's opponent, who was one of the chief instigators |°f ,he revaluation, are not now trying to get votes from taxpayers who were antagon ,!ed by it. y OR c ONTIN U EI) CO UNT V P R 0G R E S S VOTE FOR COKE C A N D L E R SING SCHEDULED AT CHURCH OF GOD There will be a special singing at the Blue Ridge chapel First Church of God on Saturday night, May 31, at 7 o’clock.

Hardin Phone: NO-9-7134 At the Church After reading- from the Bible on Sunday morning- the Story of Queen Esther’s courage, loyalty, and willingness to perish for the sake of her people, Pastor Perry delivered a message on “The Cost of War and the Price of Peace.’’ At the evening hour of -worship a short pageant entitled “A Chain of Stars” was presented by the two Girls’ auxiliaries of the church, thus closing their special “Focus Week.” Rev.

On Sunday afternoon Rev. Cecil M. Perry left for Charlotte, from whence he went with other North Carolina ministers on a chartered plane to Houston, Tex., to attend the Southern Baptist convention. He will return in time to be in his pulpit on Sunday, May 25. Because of an unaccountable and regrettable oversight the May meeting of Woman's Missionary society was not reported last week, but it still deserves mention. Miss es Grace and Mayme Meeks were hostesses for the first time to this organization in their still-new home, and there was a record at tendance. Mrs. R. E. Truesdell in a very fine way gave the program on “Doors To The South,” on Bap tist Work in Latin America.
