attempted use of present day sales values in relation to assessment values and many different views wen heard in this connection al though section s3 subsection 3 of the assessment act states normal sale value will be used in deter mining circumstances affecting the value of buildings it was thought thit todiys sales values and nor- m il sales values as mentioned in th act are two entlnly

contacted to address the meeting to speak on normal rental values and how to determine them this was thought to in the onlv solution es pecially fn the case of the town ships whin a normal rental
