To accomplish this we recommend that sufficient funds be appropri- ated so that the assessors would be allowed more time to perform the many details involved. We also recommend that a nominal appropriation be made each year so that our town will be properly mapped by a group of engineers. We are mutually agreed that one assessor namely the Chairman be paid on a full time basis, so that supervision in assembling complete data on each parcel be recorded as to valuation, acreage, and other pertinent factors. Regarding the full time assessor, we feel that he would, more than bring back to our treasury, the added expense of a full time pay.
