We understand that the actual field work hv the
state tax commission agent on the re-appraisal of timber
holdings in Curry county has not gotten underway. ! wo
agents were reportedly on the job now, and others are
expected later.
This is fine. We’re for it one hundred percent, d 1 is
county has needed a re-appraisal in the worst way :inc
has needed one for years.
But, we wonder, why the delay? 1 he people of me
county voted for the re appraisal funds way back in i-r-2.
Receipts from the levy were in the assessors office ear»y
in 1954, more than two years ago. We know too, mat
the contract with the state was held up for almost two
years before it was signed. This county dropped from
fourth to 14th on the list of counties on the st ite re
appraisal schedule. Some counties, Gilliam, Giant, Har
ney, Morrow, and Wallowa, have already finished their
re-appraisal. In Jackson county, the assessed \aliu <>f
timber increased from $1,268,180 to $3,531,920. In

600 PERCENT.)
We’re sure that we will see a marked increase in toe
value of Curry countv timber—and were sure that \\<.
will see a marked decrease in the burden that the rest < 4
the taxpayers will have to shoulder. Or perhaps we wdt
see increased revenues—to provide more services for co
the people. At any rate we’re elated to know that the
project has gotten uiulerway, and were happy to know
that 1 few citizens working .is a group were instrumental
in jarring county officials into expediting the matter.
W’e just can’t go along with county assessor Georg«
Sutton’s claim that he has k e n “instrumental in getting
the lax Commission re-appraisal and equalization In
