  purposes of taxation with one assessor appointed  as  provided  in  this
  title,  the  travel  and other actual and necessary expenses incurred by
  appraisal personnel employed in the office of such assessor in attending
  courses of training as required by this section shall be a state  charge
  upon audit by the comptroller.
