FOR TAX ASSESSOR
To the Democratic Voters and Tax
Payers of Fannin County:
After due consideration, I hereby
announce again as a candidate for
the Office of Tax Assessor of Fan-
nin County. -
Four years ago you elected me to
this office, upon my promise to give-
you service and a square deal. You
know how Well I have kept that 1
promise, if you doij't know person-
ally, an examination of the Assess-
or's Office will show.
When I took charge of the office
I foun- no school nor road map to
guide me in properly assessing the
various schools and • roads. I pro-
coeded-to make a map of the school
districts of the . County from thej
records. It took me the greater part
of my first year to do that. I had
a list as shown from the rendition
sheets mailed to each school*-' board
and with theiys and other good 'cit-
izens’ help, we Corrected the various
schools. The conditions I found, 11
cannot here enumerate. Incidentally
we added lots b'f property to the
rolls. . ..
By patience and perseverance I got
the County Engineer to make me al
road district map. . -
I found three-fourths of the -peo-*-
ple rendering their property in line, j
I then set In to'line up the other one-;
fourth by having some raised and I
others lowered.
The deputies were being paid by 1
the precincts, the same for a good |
job as a poor tgre. I counted the 1
sheets and noils and thereby arrived
at ’a price pep sheet and per poll. I
Today each deputy gets pay for what
he does and not for sitting around.
I found the County buying Guide
Books each year at a cost of over
$100 with nd personal guide. I got
