D. Wilcox, a local capitalist. TOURIST HOTEL VANGUARD The vanguard of the big tourist hotel was out in force yesterday, looking over the various sites sub mined by property owners. It was mads up of Mayor Lamkin, A. M. Beaver, G. H. Billings Sr., Henry Enders Sr., and Bert Greer. These gentlemen spent the entire day In going over the various;, properties and estimating the values ot the same. The primary purpose of the Inspection had In view a disinterest ed appraisement of the sites, as to the market value ot each piece sub mitted. The day has passed, at least In Oregon, when the assessed valuation for taxable purposes, could be taken ag a basis for estimating the mar ketable value of real estate. Under existing conditions, the assessments are fixed, apparently, not on the ba bIs of what the property would bring in a normal market, or Its Income producing capacity, but rather upon the exigency existing In the public exchequer at the time of making the levy. Under these conditions, H Is not surprising that it becomes a dif ficult matter for the average lay man the man not engaged in the sale of real estate to always fix a price on his holdings that would ap pear reasonable to a prospective buyer. The owner Is prone to fall Into the habit ot the assessor and look to his needs, rather than the marketable value, In fixing a price in listing property for the market. It Is quite natural, therefore, in an undertaking of the magnitude of the establishment of the big tourist hotel, that the Investors should de sire to have expert appraisements on the market values ot the properties submitted for tbelr consideration, Independent ot the figures placed by the owners In their options. The contents of these options are, ot course, confidential. No one, outside ot Mr. Greer and tbe inves tors, will ever know the price set on the properties) by the various owners who have given options on possible sites for the hotel. It is an obligation assumed by those to whom these options have been sub mitted, that in the event of any or all of them being rejected, the op tions shall be returned inviolate without the prices set, ever being divulged. Consequently, the gentlemen who examined these properties yesterday and whose findings will be reported to the Investors at the same time the options are submitted, were In posi tion to make estimates, absolutely unbiased, without personal preju dices one way or the other, and without having any knowledge of the valuation placed on the proper ties by the owners. To the prospective Investor, these estimates, will prove Invaluable; first as evidencing the general senti ment ot the community that there is no Intention ot holding them up by asking prohibitive ptflces, and second in that It Insures that the purchase will carry with it an ab solute value for the monsty paid, thereby enhancing the worth of se curity on which the first mortgage bonds will be issued in the financing of the big tourist proposition. It was a wise move, and it Is dif ficult to see how a better choice could have been made in the selec tion of a committee to make this appraisement for the Investors.
