W-l-2, submitting affidavits in support of valuation of property as of March 1, 1913, sold to Lloyd R. Hile, James Williams and 0.J.Potthoff. It is noted that affidavits referred to above, mention the particular sales involved, and our records indicate that Contracts Audit Hos. 4494, 4678 and 4848 covering these sales, are dated March 1, 1924, June 1, 1924 and Uovember 1, 1924, respectively. The infor­mation we desire to have expressed in an affidavit in support of 1913 valuation is a citation of an actual sale, either *our own or that of an outside party, of comparable property, at a date close to March 1, 1913. If there are no such sales on record and the amounts justify the expense, affidavits should be secured from unaffiliated persons setting forth their opinions on the basis of experience. In this connection it is noted that in the affidavits sub­mitted, you do not specifically state the amount of $2,184.00 which is the March 1, 1913 value used previously. Please arrange to prepare or secure revised affidavits in support of March 1, 1913 value of this property along the lines out­lined above, forwarding same to this office as quickly as possible in order to enable us to make retirement in our accounts during July 1929 2018-10-17 2018-10-17 http://cdm17304.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p17304coll5/id/17… 17237 17238.pdfpage /p17304coll5/image/17238.pdfpage
