The assessment of al) new buildings constructed
last year in the Hermiston area has been completed,
and the valuation of property in Hermiston has
thereby been greatly increased. 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.
