The preliminary task Ls. to mea- sure the exterior of all buildings. T e ,square footarea or the cubic foot' capacity of the 'buildings are then calculated. It is suggested that the more equitable and. easier method is to value residential, farm and ordinary height commercial buildings on the square foot method and over height commercial and industrial buildings on the cubic foot Kystem. This area or cubage is then multiplied by the rate which it would cosi' to reproduce these buildings to arrive at the basic cost. To this is added the value of the improvements which were - mentioned in a previous article such as heating, plumbing, wiring, etc. Farm Land Value Land when sold on a frontage basis iff caleulated at so much a running_ foot and the- value _is estimated not only from the sale price of other land in the area but also- from the factors or the avail- able municipal services which in- fluence the location. Farm land is valued according to the type and producing value of the soil and there are graduations radu:ttions iu these . values. The information cote ruing the huildings and land is • then placed on an appraisal card or sheet and .any influences which reduce the value - are ilia placed against the -replacement cost so that the actual value may be ascertained. A sketch of the building is also drawn and all data concerning the buildings or land along with a description of . the property and census information becomes a 'permanent field book.
