He shall enter such classification in a permanent record which shall be open to examination and inspection by any interested taxpayer. In working out a classification of all lands for taxation purposes, he shall hold hearings in convenient places within the county for the purpose of obtaining information from local property owners to aid him in working out an equitable classification for taxation purposes.
