Allowing for new buildings $1,500,000, slight increases in land values occasioned by new streets and new developments being a fair offset to buildings demolished, our actual reduction of real estate values approximates $10,000,000.
As anticipated when our report, January 1, 1931, was made, this shrinking of values is constantly becoming more apparent and it is our intention to lower the values still more in the 1932 assessments, both of real estate and personal property.
Twenty-one thousand nine hundred and seventy motor vehicles were assessed throughout the year, about 1300 of these being ex- changes on which abatements were made.
Other abatements were made on approximately 300 because of overvalue.
The Old Age Assistance Law necessitated the issuance of 21,000 bills by this office in addition to the regular work. The handling of this work in record time reflects great credit to our clerical force.
The provisions of the new law in its liberality as applied to widows' exemptions has increased the amount previously allowed

REPORT OF BOARD OF ASSESSORS
by approximately $3,757, while an equally liberal law has provided for exemption to Spanish War Veterans, which on December 31st amounted to $862.40. Of this latter amount the State refunds one-third, thereby reducing the expense to Quincy to $574.93.
Tax Appeal
Previously appeals from decision of the Assessors on tax abate- ments were referred to the County Commissioner, or the Superior Court, but May 29, 1930, a Board of Tax Appeals was created, becoming operative December 1st, before which all cases previ- ously entered in the Superior Court are now heard.
We have had one such case which is now pending, being the only instance throughout the year, of appeal from our findings.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL T. SULLIVAN, Chairman. J. WINTHROP PRATT, ALBERT NELSON, Board of Assessors.
