The Mr. Brownell: I shall be glad to tell you that - the two appraisers have completed the real estate appraisals of all the parcels from Washington Street to Jefferson and they have been submitted to the reviewing appraiser, Mr. Ralph Michaels. Also he is going to get from Mr. Banta of S. M. Dix Associates, Inc., the places where there is conflict. For example, if one real estate appraiser included a heater to boost the hot water in a particular place and the other appraiser did not in- clude it in his appraisal, S. M. Dix comes along to do the fixture appraisal and they would say that the heater would have to go on both of the appraisals, or appear on neither of them. This problem is submitted to the reviewing appraiser so that S. M. Dix will know whether to inc ude the item under fixtures - or if it is considered real estate. In uch a case, the owners of a building are also the tenants so its really just a matter of getting it straightened out. Mr.lWiggins: To make sure that we don't pay for the same thing twice. Mr. Brownell: Then we have a letter from one owner who had to fix his roo and he sent a letter and a copy of a bill and said he thought he ought to include that in the amount of money we pay him for his building. I have nothing to say about whether it is included or not, that is up to the appraiser. In other words, the reviewing is being done and the re- view appraiser will then report to the Commission, the value he thinks should be assigned to each parcel. The review appraisals north of Washington Street have not been started yet because we have just authorized that contract work this morning ... work to begin when the real estate appraisals are completed. Mr. Wiggins: On the reusie appraisals, I assume these will cover the pro erty known as the hole. Mr. Brownell: Yes, these are parcel Nos. 4 -1, 4 -31 and 4 -32. Then there will be three other parcels added so the appraisers will have a group of six. Mr. Wiggins: It will be necessary to have reuse appraisals of all the pro erty in the area between Washington and Jefferson Sts? Mr. Brownell: We cannot do any of that until after we acquire it. Ch it recognized Mr. John Kagel.
