Judging from the discussion at Monday's board meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors need to do some fine tuning to bring the county's tax picture into sharp focus.

Chairman E. P. Luke dropped a surprise towards the end of the session when he announced that Rappahannock's new 100 per cent fair market value assessment won’t be used as the basis for property taxes in the coming year.

Luke was asked by H. B. Wood at an earlier meeting to check whether the old figures (assessment of 60 per cent discounted to 15 per cent) could be used for the tax bills that will go out in 1981. There has been no further discussion, however, on postponing the implementation of fair market value assessment until 1982.
