Knight Frees
Flood Money
SACRAMENTO (UP) Gov.
Ooodwln J. Knight late yesterday
allocated up to $100,000 from the
state emergency fund to hire ap
praisers to help- re-assess flood
damaged property.
Knight said the Board of Equali
sation planned to hire some 25
temporary appraisers to aid the
counties.
He said tt would be unfair to
taxpayers In the flood areas to pay
taxes on assessed valuations estab
lished prior to the damage to their
property.
Knight said he was informed by
Paul Leake, chairman of the Board
of Equalization, that the assessing
staffs of at least six counties,
Sutter, Yuba. Humboldt, Del Norle,
Sonoma and Santa Cruz, were in
adequate to do the Job of re
assessment. Leake said the Board "has only
41 appraisers and samplers, so it
would be Impossible to do a
thorough Job In the widespread
flood stricken areas and still keep
up with other work which the
board is required to do."
