approval, as provided by law. There
were some warm arguments during the
three days session, but the members of
the board were reasonably calm at all
times. Each member was DESTROYS Of
making the best possible bargain for the
county he represented, but all were will
ing to listen to reason. There could be
no argument as to percentages, but there
were at times differences OF opinion as to
valuations.
The members of the board were: For
Laramie county-George w. Hoyt, chair
man; t. Dyer, j. S. Morrison. For
Converse-C. A. Pollard, chairman; Geo.
Bolln, John Storrie.
Here is the agreement, almost YER
batim, as signed by the members of the
adjudication board and last evening filed
at the Office of the clerk for the first Judi
cial district:
That the total assessed valuation of the
real and personal property of the original
Laramie county for 1887 was $40, 139,-
O34. 40.
That the assessment roll for the year
1887 is taken as the basis of this report.
That the rate of a~pportionment is:
For Converse county IA. 80 per cent, and
for Laramie county s5.61 per cent.
That the total assessed valuation of the
real and personal property in hat portion
of Converse county which was originally
in the county of Laramie for the year
1887 was 81 ,459, O66. 81; and for the re-
naming portion of Laramie county for
said year $S,679, 967.S6.
That the amount of the bonded in
debtedness of the county of Laramie at
the time of the organization of Converse
county was $400, 600, IA. 80 per cent of
which amount would be s57, 500, as the
proportion of the Indebtedness to be as
sumed by the county of Converse.
That the sum of $2,S7S is due Laramie
county from Converse az interest on the
$57, $50 since the organization Of the lat
ter.
That the total outstanding debt of Lar
annie county when Converse was organ-
lied was, in addition to the bonded debt,
$50, 1871. The cash in the Laramie
county treasury at this time was IS, 742. SO
applicable to reduction of debt, thus max
ing net outstanding Indebtedness to be
divided between counties $4l ,6S7. 50. OF
this last amount the board finds that the
sum OF So, 99S. IS is due Laramie from
Converse.
The sun of 81, 666.67 is found to be
due Laramie from Converse for its pro-
portion Of the taxes of 1883.
Here are the valuations placed upon
the property of the original county of Lar
annie:
Court house. jail, residence and
lots G., 7 and s, block 292, Chey-
900
County hospital and block 173..... 10000
All ll,250
Jail at the town of Lusk............ 400
...S16, $50
As the Lusk jail is in Converse this
leaves Laramie public property worth
$40, $50, with Converse 800.
That the county of Converse is entitled
to a credit on account of the public prop
erty now in Laramie of IA. 80 per cent of
SIC, $50, or $40, 973.37, and that the pres.
ent county of Laramie is entitled to a
credit of $342. A, being S5.6l per cent of
$40O, the valuation of the Lusk Jail.
Dcducting the $342.44 from the said sum
of $40, 973. 81, leaves $40, 629. 90 as the
net credit due Converse county.
Then the total amount due Laramie
from Converse is:
Bonded debt and Interest,". SOC, 43S 90
Other indcbtedness............. 5.99S So
Taxes Of lSSS."..-.".."-..... 1866 81
.lUo %
Deduct credits above....... I0,629 80
Leaving balance due Lara
,4I3 62
I'VE therefore find that the county of
Converse is indebted to the county of Lar.
annie in the sum of 500, 4T3 62.
I'VE also agree that the sum shall be
paid in Converse county warrants bearing
