In doing this both the opportunities and the cost involved in public and social services should be considered. Such a task can most accurately be done through many conferences with local people, and this should be the procedure if the action stage should materialize. However, for illustration and study of the problem in. Buildings liave been remodeled into summer homes on a few farms. more detail, the area was divided into five main sub-areas according to priority. (Plate 8, p. 40) This classification was varied for Alexandria on account of recreation possibilities and a greater concentration of lo- cations.

For the most part these farms are valued on the basis of potential timber possibilities; if all were abandoned and the buildings destroj^ed, the loss of tax revenue V would be negligible. The actual additional tax revenue associated with I the occupancy of the 70 places is not in excess of $550 annually.^ I ^ If based on average assessed value of wild land of $ per acre, the I average valuation of the 70 farms would be $557 instead of $836, and the tax revenue would be reduced approximately from $ to $ Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
