The recently completed meetings of the Curry

the accomplishment of a good many things. Most im­
portant, of course, was the better understanding of die
county, its government and its problems by a number
of people. We’ve got to give credit to County Agent
Ken Priest for bring this understanding about.

We don’t think that this committee should dis­

go into more detail about the re appraisal and re-assess­

in a complete study of the tax problem here. Then they
should, as they suggested, report to a joint Chamber of
Commerce meeting of Gold Beach, Brookings-Harbor
