INCREASE OF VALUATION.

The State Board of Equalization
has concluded its labors, and the as
sessed value of property in Minneso-
ia foots up s216,790,730-real estate,
$172,632,872; personal property s44,-
1883 (after deducting $8,074,300
exempted). Ramsey county stands
at the head of the list, over $31 ,OOO,-
600; Hennepin next, nearly s2S, 000,-
900. The valuation of Stearns coun-
ty, as equalized by the State Board,
is, real estate, $4,273,253; personal
property, $1,186,591-total, $780,
844. An increase of one hundred
per cent. has been made by the Board
on the valuation of lands and struct-
ures thereon, and of thirty per cent. on
personal property, returned in this
county, except on the town and city
lots including the structures thereon.
This would leave the assessment in
this city unchanged, except on per-
sonal property. The valuation of the
county, as equslized by the County
Board, was, real estate, $2.424, 1868 ;
personal property, $912,762; total,
$3,337 ,625-making the total increase
22,122,219. The rate of taxation
to raise 100000 for the current ex-
penses of the State will be 2.33 mills,
against 5 mills last year.
