CLERK County Court,

|
Si1 Il am DESTROYS of obtaining for
my benefit and for the benefit of our
people a certain class of information
which the assessment rolls of the re-
spective counties aud city will show, and
which the books of the Auditor of Public
Accounts do not furnish. l wish to learn
the assessed value in each city and county
of the real estate, of the personal prop
erty, of the money loaned, on hand and
deposited, and of the taxable bonds or
credits, for the years 1878 and 1879, stated
separately.
I have therefore prepared q blank,
which enclose, with q respectful request
that you will fill up from your assessment
rolls in each of these years, and return to
me before the Legislature meets.
Yours truly,
ZERUBBABEL Snow.
P. S.-If you or the county court of
your county have discovered anything
in our tax law which in its workings is
unjust or incOnvenient, please state that
also. Y. s.

CEDAR CITY, Dec. 20, 1880.
To the Hon. Mayor and CoucI Of Cedar
City:
Gentlemen - Your committee to
whom was referred the communicR-
ton OF Hon. II. Snow respectfully re-
polt that the general feelings Of the
citizens of this city is that the territory
AMI county taxes on real estate and
personal property are assessed too
high, which is a great bindrance to
internal improvements. We also ex-
perience great Inconvenience in CT
taining the SCHOOL tax from the county
of schools under the
present law. The present law also
makes it very announcement to the
citizens of this place, az it provides
for the settlement OF territorial,
county and school taxes st the county
seat, which is distance of eighteen
or twenty miles from this city.
Respectfully.

Z. Snow, Esq, Salt Lake City:
Sir-Yours Of December Sd, 1879,
was handed to me yesterday by W. I.
Reid, who. I presume, has had the
letter in his possession since its az
rival here. l have run over the as
sessment roll OF Manti City, and
placed on the enclosed blank the
value of the various kinds of property
requested, as assessed and valued by
our city assessor for the years 1878
and 1879.
A. E. MERRIAM,
Recorder OF Manti City.
In regard to the revenue laws OF
this territory l wish to say a few
words. l have been the assessor and
collector of Saupete County for the
thirteen years last past. and conse-
ouently have had considerable OF an
experience in the business, and have
had to meet the various ideas and
arguments of a great many taxpayers
in regard to what the law says and
WI at the law means. l know OF
nothing unjust in said law, or partio-
ularly inconvenient in it. The mat
ter wish to draw your attention to is
the true meaning of the law in re-.
gard to the time in each year when
the assessors are to commence the
assessment. a great many say that
he 1.-THE assessor) cannot co any asses
sing before tee LIST day Of April in each
wear, and 1 have received letters from
some PARTIES telling me that if / made
an assessment OF their property before
said day they would not pay the taxes

nue. act as a whole, Tor by one par.

oshers) that said 1st day of April was
fixed as valuation day, or in other
words, property was to be listed at its
cash valuation on said day, as thereby
a more equal valuation of property
would be made throughout each
county, and also the territory. For
instance, l might assess q por-
ton of this county in the
month OF January, and set the
average value Of COWS at SO per
head land plenty Of COWS can now be
bought for that price,. when probably
the same stock would, on the lst day
of April, be worth, on an average
| S14 per hesd, aud at which price
would have to assess the balance o
the cows in the county. provided
assessed at the cash value as the Law
directs, which would be unfair ant
unjust to the parties last assessed, a
their COWS would each be valued S.
higher than those assessed now; bu
If all we're listed st their cash value
on said 1st day of April, there coulr
be scarcely any chance for com
