ried on our books as acreage, now being cut up into house-lots and having houses under construction there- on, many changes are to be made on our books each year; old buildings torn down, new houses and stores erected, residence sections "going commercial or in- dustrial," all these things show that the time has gone when the Braintree Assessors could work by the rule of thumb or make appraisal by copying the previous years' record and flavoring it with guess work.
The Board therefore arms itself each year with the record of all transfers from the Registry of Deeds at Dedham, next with the records of our Building In- spector, there being permits taken out in 1928 with the owners' estimates amounting to $598,443.95. Next all real estate sales and loans are noted and recorded, every scrap of information is hoarded for considera- tion and finally the assessors are sworn to supplement their total of facts of record with their own best honest judgment, born of experience and observation.
An adding machine is one of the great present needs of this office as it is now necessary for us to borrow the use of a machine in another department, to the inconvenience of both parties to the arrange- ment.
Beginning this year automobiles will be taxed under the new law which will place an excise on every car registered throughout the entire year, all of this accounting to be done by the local assessors and col- lector and entirely for the benefit of the local treasury. This will entail a lot of additional work but the board believes that the new law is the fairest plan to date, and expect a substantial increase of revenue.

All the other departments of the town spend' money for the benefit of the citizens, but the Assessing Department's function is get money from all the citi -- zens for these other various departments to spend. Certainly we need the co-operation, not to mention the- sympathy, of good citizens and would urge again that; every owner of personal property, and by this we mean: to include jewelry, radio, musical instruments of any- value whatever and household goods and furniture. exceeding one thousand dollars value, shall make the- declaration required by law on or before May fifteenth ..
