junction w,is served. While the law was in
force, II was 10 the interest Of tine powerful
railroad CORPORATIONS to increase the assess
ments and taxes, and the increase Of the assess
ment of La Sale county In 1874 shows how
well they succeeded.
As assessed by town assessors--
For 1874 .......,.. ......... ga 800, 306
For 1869. .......'........'.. l,oSf's4i
having increased the assessment in La Sale
county alone 49,, 79G,065 IN five years. When
there was no necessity for increasing for the
railroad interests, a majority of the counties
fell back to their normal condition on the tax
question: while La Sale county seems to as.
sess as though they were under the railroad
pressure. As the State Board has deducted our
assessment In the last SIX years, SOD 1884, 463,
our assessors have believed our property worth
more than the Board of Equalization did. La
Sale county was deducted 26 per cent, amount
ing to $685., S06 last year, If the local assess
ors keep on assessing six or seven millions
more pro rata the board Inlay just conclude
that the assessors know more about the value
of property in La Sale county than they do.
There is large class of wood land in our
county that does not produce one cent per acre
per annum after paying the tax, and could not
be rented for term of years for the payment
of the taxes In the rear 1875. the number Of
acres of wood laud in La Sale county was
81, 743, in 1879 0,115 aires, large per cent
of which would not pay for fencing tor pas
ture One should not be assessed so high as
to make the equalization value S22 40 per acre.
We think the local assessors should assess
down as near the equalized assessment rs they
can, and should reduce the assessment of 1880
90 per cent below that of 1879.
