under oath and said oath be made a
matter of record and a matter OF inves-
tigation for the grand juries when the
case is brought before them.
However, the listing OF real estate
causes the great trouble. The valuations
are not equable, the descriptions are in
correct and in many cases a property
owner is compelled to ego it blind" he
does not know whether he is paying taxes
on his land or on that of some one else.
Double ACKNOWLEDGMENT in most in
stances by faulty descriptions-are also
a source ofgreat annoyance and expense.
In some cases we know of property own
ers who avepaid their taxes and obtained
their receipts, but owing to the fact that
their property was assessed elsewhere in
the books, the land was sold for taxes
and great deal OF trouble and expense
entailed The property owners should
not be compelled to pay for the mis- take
OF the assessor, and in cases of this kind
he should be made to make good the
amountexpended by the property owner,
and his bond should be liable for it's pay
ment.
Real estate should be valued at it's act
ual market price.
In cases where q tract of land is so sit
uated that it cannot be intelligently de-
scribed without describing it by metes
and bounds it should be made the duty
OF the owner to cause such lands to be
surveyed and plated into lots, and have
such plats certified and recorded. Ii the
owner of the land refuses to have such
survey made after having been notified
by the assessor, the assessor shall cause
such survey to be made by the county
surveyor and the expense of the same
shall be added to the tax levied on the
property.
A full review Of this important matter
is beyond the scope OF a newspaper arti-
Gle; the above are only few OF the many
changes which should be made.
But the chief and most important mat
ter is to have competent officers, without
them the best laws would fail OF their OBJ
ject. How to obtain these officers is a
matter beyond the province of the Leg
islature. 1t lies entirely with the people.
After the Legislature has remodled our
assessment laws-which we firmly believe
it will do at the earliest opportunity
it should be the duty of the people to
elect only such men as who can and will
carry out the provision OF the law. If
they do not do it they have only them
selves to blame.

Our Assessment Law.


immigration societies, advertisements,
railroads, Improvement associations and
all other agencies combined will not
counterfeit the evil effects of our villains
Gus assessment laws. These laws should
be repealed and new ones enacted by the
next Legislature, and before our people
cast their ballots for lawmakers at the
forthcoming election they should post
themselves as to the attitude of the vari-
GUS candidates upon this vital question
and if possible obtain from them (the
Legislative candidates. direct and pos
tive pledge to the effect that they will
use every effort to better our assessment
laws before they vote for them.
In our opinion the question as to
whether Senator Call will succeed himself
orbe retired to the shades ofprivate life is
only side issue as compared to the as
sessment question. This is a matter
that lies next to our hearts, our pocket
books and our prosperity.
In the first place the emoluments of the
assessor should be derived from a specific
salary and not from percentage. This
would remove the great temptation OF
generalization. In the next place the
office Of assessor should be the best pay
ing one in the county, and the salary
should be made large enough to COM
mand the services Of the best and most
competent material in the country.
We would recommend the plan of d.
vlding the counties into assessment dis
tricts of no very great extent, and from
each OF these districts elect assessors who
shall be REQ uired to make personal in
spection OF all property and an equitable
valuation before entering it upon his
books. He should be required to give a
good and sufficient bond for the faithful
performance of his duty, and in cases
when an error On his past-such as double
assessments, wrong descriptions, etc.,
entails hardships or expense upon the tax
payer his bond should be made liable
His work should, as now, be approved
by the county assessors before it submis-
sion to the board OF county commission
ers for equalization.
Our revenues should be obtained from
tax levied upon all real and personal
property in the State (the privilege
license or occupation tax should be abol-
ished) valued at such price as it would
bring at fair voluntary sale for cash,
and the one-third or two thirds plan now
pursued should be done away with.
The assessment of personal property
is a simple matter when it is possible to
arrive at the possession of the individ-
ual. This can only be arrived at by his
own statement, which should be made

The land that will grow vegetables as above
described is held at from 500 to sI75 an
acre. Further down the river, on the larger
ranches, alfalfa is the principal crop that is
grown. An average crop of alfalfa is about
four tons to the acre, and the prices it brings
in Dayton and Virginia City range from $40
to SIS per ton in bales. Such land as this
is held at $50 to $40 an acre. With as
much cultivation as the land on the upper
river has had it will produce as good crops
and be just as valuable except for its greater
distance from market. The cattle industry
is carried on quite extensively on the lower
river, the fine range country and the wild
meadow land along the river keeping cattle
in fine condition the year round.
Three miles from Dayton, to the northeast,
lies the town of Sutro. This is where the
famous Sutro Tunnel begins. 1t runs into
taps the Comstock mines at a depth of 900
feet This tunnel was built to drain the
mines of water. At the present time about
twenty men are employed in the tunnel, and
they, with their families, constitute the pop
ula,ion of the town. The Tunnel Company
owns several hundred acres of land sur
rounding the town, none of which is for sale
1t is believed by many that in the near fu-
ture the bodies of low grade tn at are said to
exist in the mines will be brought through
the tunnel and worked in mills on the Car
son river where there is an abundance Of
water power.
Wood is the only fuel used throughout
the county. There is now very little timber
land in the county, the heavy growth OF nut
pine having been cut off for use. What little
nut pine wood that now comes to Dayton is cut
in the Pinennt and Como ranges OF mount
aims and is hauled from twenty to thirty miles
to town. The price of this wood in Dayton
is $40 per cord. Soft pine wood is cut in the
Sierra Nevaea mountains, at the head water,
of the Carson river, and driven down the riv
er to Dayton for use in the mills. Much o
it is also used for fuel by families. 1t sell:
