THE WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1892

By looking at the figures given il
another column, which are taker
from recorder Smiths report to thu
state auditor, it will be seen that tn,
total assessment of Washington
county has fell slightly below that o
last year. While at first glance thi.
might look like step backward, {
little research into the matter shows
very fattering advancement. We
have gained very materially in the most
important classes of property Taking
those on which is found a decrease
we make this summary: City lots
have decreased about $1,000, the
valuation of cattle has decreased
about 5000 On the following
personal property, to wit: vehicles,
swine, merchandise, milling machin-
cry, farming machinery, ferry boats,
furniture, harness, musical in
struments, mortgages, etc, the total
valuation for 81 was S177,7IS.
while this year it has fallen to a little
above 1888, 900; this is easily
accounted for, however, by the
removal Of the Seven Devils Mercantile
Companys stock from that camp.
and the withdrawal of other firms
from business. Last year there was
an error in the mileage of telegraph
and railroad lines, they being assessed
for 2S4 miles, upon which they paid
taxes, while this year the actual
distances miles-is taken. and
though the distance is slight it makes
anoticeable decrease improvements
on all real estate have fallen from
$50, $40, in 81, to 1859, 800 this
year, owing to moderated
assessment, last years valuation
being considered somewhat hiph
The same applies to city lots. The
slight decrease in cattle valuation is
insignificant, as they are lowered
some and there have been very
extensive shipments of beef steers
on the whole our cattle interests have
advanced. AS a contra to these
losses, we find gains of most import
ant nature. The assessment of last
year showed SO, 291 acres of decided
land valued at $249, $40, while this
year gives us 60, $40 acres valued at
1852, 1876, an increase of 7. 3SS acres
and $12, S26. In 81 we had %. 100
head of sheep valued at $57. COS.
while this year we have 40, 427 head
at 800, 1862; an increase of 20 Cos
representing $41,554 This is not
all, but it is enough to show that
while the total valuation has decreased
our actual wealth has increased. II
IS easily seen that the main loss falls
On that class of property which can
only be considered as transient, and a
portion from the correction of an
error in railroad and telegraph
mileage, while the substantial pro

upper end of the county but has been

more evenly balanced assessment
The county board of equalization has ,
not yet finished up on the roll, but ,
there will probably be no material
change. On the whole the showing
made by this years assessment is
very fattering, regardless of total 6
igures, and shows that we are steadily
pushing ahead.
