Mr. ~cCue, Chairman, called upon Mr. Robinson, County Executive to bring the Board
up to date on ~elopments which have taken place since the Board's regular meeting regarding~
the procedure being followed by the County in its general reassessment of real property. In
the absence of Mr. W. O. Fife, Commonwealth's attorney, due to illness, Mr. Robinson stated
that he and Mr. D. B. Marshall, Attorney of Mr. Fife's office, had had a conference with Mr.
C. H. MorrisseSt, State Tax Commissioner, regarding the County's general reassessment of
real property and that Mr. Morrissett had stated that in h~s opinion Section 242 of the Tax
Code of Virginia makes mandatory a general reassessment of all real estate in the County of
Albemarle in the year 1948, and that Mr. Marshall concurred in this opinion. Mr. Marshall
pointed out that Section 242 of the Tax Code directs that such reassessment shall be mccom,
i plished by a board of assessors to be appointed by the Circuit Judge of the Co~ty and he
stated that Mr. Morrissett felt that it would be somewhat inconsistent to have the Board of
i Equalization serving at the same time as that of a board of assessors. The members of the
County's Equalization Board who were present on request in realizing the technicalities
confronting the County offered their resignations. Upon motion of Mr. Henry Chiles, seconde~
