Los Angeles St., Anaheim THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA AND STRIPES ARE SEEN IN SWITZERLAND HOW REAL ESTATE VALUES ARE FIXED There is a difference between "value" and "price." This is what J. N. Anderson, inheritance tax appraiser for Orange county, told Santa Ana realtors in a recent discussion of "How I Arrive at the Value of Property in Orange County." He illustrated his point by saying that often in saying to an heir that the property being appraised is worth $25,000 the heir responds with the statement that he would not take $25,000 for the piece. "In such cases I make may own values and so report to the court," said Anderson. Anderson holds that it is necessary for a realtor to determine the fair value of a piece of properly when it is listed so that if the listed price is too high the realtor can either refuse to accept the listing or use his influence to induce the seller to lower the quotation. "Certain properties have a potential or speculative value that should be considered by both you and me," said the appraiser. "They should be considered more by you, for I have to contemplate an administration sale for cash during the court proceeding and must disregard the speculative features. "In appraising ranch or country property, I must consider the character of the soil; if sand, what kind and how deep; if sediment surface, how deep and what subsoil, whether hard pan, and if so how impervious; whether subject to or in danger of overflow from winter streams; whether damaging grasses and how much; supply of domestic and irrigation water; distance from school, church, good roads and civic centers; subdivision opportunity and condition of trees or other crops and other improvements. With these conditions, it is necessary to observe prevailing market, labor and money conditions, and, sometimes, political circumstances." Discussing city property valuations, Anderson said that some attention should be given to the soil of purely residence property, especially as concerns such factors as action of flood FINE REPORT FOR FRUIT EXCHANGE Members of the Orange-co Fruit exchange today were electrified by the substantial tone of the annual report of Secretary L.

No tea FRUIT EXCHANGE Members of the Orange-co Fruit exchange today were electrified by the substantial tone of the annual report of Secretary L. D. Palmer, for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1921, showing that the net returns for citrus shipments by the exchange were $6,056,892.48. Total shipments of citrus fruits through this exchange for the ten months covered by the secretary's annual report amounted to 3539 carloads, the figures being based upon 462 boxes of oranges and 406 boxes of lemons to the car.
