ASSESSORS TALK
TAX RATIOS HERE
Friday's session of the Oregon
Association of County Assessors was
devoted to discussion of county tax
ratios with the state tax commis
sion. The latter body will fix the
ratios for various counties next
week, based upon lnforma-tlon pre
sented Friday.
Charles V. Galloway, member of
the state tax commission, warned
the assessors not to expect any
radical changes In the ratios tills
year, over those of last year.
The commission had numerous
appeals from counties for an In
crease In the ratios," Galloway said
I believe the claim of one county
to consideration In this respect Is
as valid as that of another county,
but If the commission was to In
crease all ratios, the situation would
not be Improved."
Galloway Intimated the commis
sion probably would confine its ac
tion on tax ratios to minor read
justments.
