In addition nearly 200 town lots have returned to private hands and will again appear on the tax rolls. These conditions have created a more substantial general property value in all classes of holdings, This, however, af- fects owners in different ways. Some are wildly speculative, and others ultra conservative. Actual values depend on location and surroundings, and other features. It doesn’t follow that if one resi dence lot is worth $250.00, another is worth $100.00, or that if one business lot is worth $1000.00, another has a value of $250.00. Because of undue specula tive values last year during the so-called boom, a number of good sites are still without buildings. There is no known remedy for speculation except the use of some degree of horse sense, and some human minds have very little of that fine quality of brain. From all reports we will soon have open season again for this sort of guessing and gambling on values, and the consequent holding back of de velopment which will be sorely needed. We hope that local citizens will cling to a reasonable basis tor value, and use their influence toward suppress ing wild speculation and aggressive prices wherever they may appear. All we know is what Madam Rumor tells us and what we see every day, but it may be that we will have the same opportunities and problems of last year to deal with in the very near future. While we are seasoned troopers in the practice of handling a large population, we will doubtless have new ques tions to answer, and will be expected to carry on in a larger, more organized and systematic way. We know that the towns and communities re ceived much credit for the success in which they met the situation last year, but this year we should en deavor, in the light of our experiences, to do better. We escaped with a mild assortment of riff raff, and crime, except two outstanding cases, was notable for its lack of viciousness and its infrequency. We should begin early to prepare for and comply with sanitary requirements, and to seek the cooperation of government, state and county authorities in all matters.
