My policy as in the past is courtesy to the public with whom I may come in contact. Attention to their problems as regards assessment and taxation. A gradual reappraisal program without exces sive cost to the taxpayers. The greatest possible economy in the operation of my office which is well exemplified by a recent bulletin publisher 1 by the Oregon State Tax Commission as follows: Population . 471.537 125,7TB 101,401 86,716 61,26» County— Multnomah Lane Marion Clackamas Washington Assessor's Budget $340.808 86,065 36,335 79,955 28,245 Per Capita Cost $ .72 .68 .36 .92 .46 Washington County is the next lowest to Marion in the state. The above well illustrates the economies practiced in my office. The necessary activities of this office have in creased so greatly in the past few years that it has been impossible for me to contact personally as many of you as I would have liked. Therefore, I take this method of reaching you. Your support in the coming primary will be fully appreciated. Respectfully, < R. ’’TAD” SHELTON COUNTY ASSESSOR Pol. Adv. paid for by R.
