ROCK COUNTY ASSESSORS TO MEET NEXT FRIDAY
Representative of State Tax Commission to be Present and fully Explain Assessment Requirements
The regular annual meeting of the assessors of Rock county for the purpose of receiving instructions and advice before taking up their duties for the new year, will be held next Friday, April 4th, at the county auditor’s office in this city, commencing at 10 o’clock in the forenoon.
All assessors of the county who can possibly arrange to do so, are urged to attend this meeting, for a representative of the Minnesota Tax commission will be present and carefully outline the proper methods of assessing the various kinds of personal property in accordance with the requirements governing such matters.
This representative of the tax commission will also endeavor to answer all questions submitted by assessors pertaining to their duties, and if there is any phase of the work which is not clear to an assessor, that will be the most opportune time to have the matter cleared up.
Assessors are entitled to pay for the time spent in attending this meeting, their remuneration being fixed at five cents per mile for each mile necessarily traveled in going to and returning from the meeting and to four dollars additional for each day in attendance of these sessions.
Donations to the Rock County Historical Society can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, P.O. Box 741, Luverne, MN 56156.
