$399,l0O S325,000

The total assessed valuation of property
in the county for 1856, was s2,2O0,OO0;
for 1857, s2,l6o,5o4 ss. The inquiry is
made as to the cause of this falling off, when
it is patent to every intelligent observer that
there has been an increase Of good buildings
improvement of ranches, turnpikes made and
old ones improved, and many miles of ditch
constructed. An answer will be found in
the present valuation Of some of our turn
pixies and canals The American River Canal
in 1856 was assessed at $4,000, and the
Auburn and Bear River Canal at the same
figures; this year the former is assessed at
100000 and the latter at $75,0OO-show
ing the enormous decrease, upon the two
principal canals in the county, Of $4,000
in single year. The Auburn and Bear
River Canal alone falls of $50, ,OOo This
ditch company is reported as having expen-
ded 100000 in the past year in improving
their works, and yet their canal has lost
nearly onehaf its valuation in that time.
This is matter that requires explanation.
There is somaihing wrong here. 1t looks as
if the Bear River Company were Sinking
taxation, and that the Assessor and Board
of Equalization had been remiss in the per-
formance of their duties.
The turnpike and canal companies derive
a large revenue from the people of the coun-
ty, and it is but just they should be assesse!
and pay as fair proportion as the merchant,
mechanic, miner, and other property holders.
If the Bear River Company's valuation OF
$4,000 on 200 miles of ditch is a fair one,
then the owners of ranch improvements and
buildings in the county have returned their
property at fifty per cent. more than they
should have done.
In 1855, twenty nine bitches were return
ed assessed at s375,OOO and nine turnpikes
and bridges at S7l 900. In 1857 we have
the singular statement that twenty-fo
bitches are on the roll for 1925, 900, and
seventeen turnpkes and bridges are only
worth $4,000. Such statistics as these in
dicate that the progress in the kind of pro-
perty named is neutrality-suspicious. as it
may seem, the more money invested in the
turnpikes and canals the less valuable they
become.
By an examination Of the Assessment roll
of the county, we obtain the following list of
individuals and companies whose taxes each
amount to $lOO and upward

Placer County Statistics - Interesting
Items from the Assessors Reports Of 1855
and 1857.

An examination of the Reports Of the AS
SCISSOR of this county, for the years 1856 and
1857, exhibits some facts that will prove in
teresting to those Of our readers who take
an interest in the development Of the re-
sources of the county, and its future wealth
and stability The most pleasing feature to
be observed in this examination, is the fact
that many are making improvements and
accumulating those comforts which none but
the permanent settler would spend money
and time to obtain. 1t is in the increase
and variety Of choice fruit that we observe
this disposition in many to lay here their
hearth stones, and beautify and make valua-
ble homsteads, that before long will be the
abodes Of wealth and comfort.
The increase in the number of fruit trees
from $50 81 will be seen in the following
table:
The Placer herald., 1857-10-03

Although the above shows a large increase,
vet the number of trees given fall far short
Of the actual number in the county. Many
trees were set out in the spring, some time
after the Assessor had commenced the year
ly assessment, and consequently are not in
cluded in the Report.
In the Report Of 1855, the amount of
land under cultivation was given at 5,S44
acres. We have no estimate for this year,
but observe that the whole amount of land
taken up in tho county is 100000 acres
one-fourth is inclosed. In 1855 the Of which
number Of acres inclosed were 10000.
