Italy's leading Farm Land Reappraisal Starts Here Reappraisal of the farm lands of Klamath county began this month by Appraisal Engineer Gilbert B. Hillmon of the Oregon state tax commission's staff. The work will consume the next six months tn the field and in the headquarters office at Salem. This is one type of specialised as sistance extended to county asses sors by the tax commission when ever the request is made by the assessor. When a certain problem develops requiring expert attention, a county assessor makes a request to the commission and a staff mem ber Is assigned to the job. The cost to the county consists of paying the board and lodging of the specialist, the state commission paying his j salary ana iraasporuiuoa to ana from Salem. In making the assessment of the farm lands of this county, aenal photographs will be used. This is a quicker and more comprehensive ' method than the former program of hiring a couple of men with transit and chain to establish the lines. The heavy development of Klam ath county with the creation of new farms and the changed economic situation will all be reflected tn the atudy of Mr. HUlmon when the task Is completed. Hillmon will work out of the office of County Assessor Ous M. Metsker. Tension Eases Over Florida Riot Issue GROVELAND.
