Facts and Figures.
Some interesting facts and figures are
obtained from the abstract of personal
property assessment as completed by
Auditor Edick Thursday. Except in a
few cases, the abstract shows an in
crease over last year, both in number
and value of articles of property. Either
considerable Of personal property has
been brought into the county during the
past year, or the assessors have been
more fortunate IN finding that which
was already here. The assessors have
returned a greater amount of property,
and the board of equalization seems to
nave considered its value greater than
returned for their increase of the return
was quite considerable.
From a reference to the abstract be-
fore mentioned, it is cen that the coun
ty has S73 horses under 3 years of age,
who obtain ~sustenance from it's luxuri-
ant grasses and represent an aggregate
value of sl4,515. There are also 1900
horses over 3 years of age returned, and
their value fixed at $78,895. Assessors
have also discovered SO6 head of that
uncertain class known to horsemen as
bronchos, and they represent a valuation
Of S17,3O8. There has been an increase
of about 700 in the number of horses
over last year, and a corresponding in
crease in valuation.
OF cattle under2 years Of age, there
are returned 2,210, whose value has been
fixed at s16,7 Cows of all ages there
are to the number of 1926, and the
value of $41,225, an increase of about
100 in number oyer last year. Under the
head of all other cattle there are num-
bered 1905 head, valued at sl9,251, and
Of range cattle there are 3G4 valued at
s4,003.
Mules and asses of the four-legged
variety exist in the county to the num-
Der Of III, and the value of $500. The
sheep industry seems to have fallen off
somewhat since last year. and IN number
they are this year about 1000 fewer than
last, there being returned 6,134, valued
at sl2,390. We are a little short on
hogs still, having but SIG in the county,
although this is an increase of 200 owe
last year. The hog valuation of the
county is s2,508.
Wagons, carriages and vehicles are
discovered to the number of 1,019, and
Of kinds and varieties understandable.
All the residents of the county ride in
sl8,073 worth OF vehicles. Forty.nine
melodeons and organs are made to play
different kinds of music, and they will
have to reel of 1886 worth if they pay
for themselves this year. Pianos to the
number of sixty-seven are belabored in
various portions of the community, and
s5,50S worth Of hidden music may be Ok
tracted from them all, according to the
assessors ideas. The various households
are adorned with s38,943 worth of furni-
ture, and gold and silver plate sparKles
IN some of them to the tune of $1,78O.
on diamonds and jewelry, including
tlmepieces it must be admitted we are
somewhat short, as only 1895 are turned
IN to represent these articles.
In moneys of banks, brokers, etc., we
have $l02, 495, and in credits of banks,
sl,635. Cash seems a rarity, as only
SLIGO of moneys other than of banks is
turned IN, but it is probable the asses
sors could not explore the hidden re-
cesses of Burleigh county pockets. or
credits other than of banks we have
&5'947, and of bonds and stock, s3,2l1.
Agricultural implements loom up to
t4e extent of $2s,3s3, andgoods and mer-
chandise has been found to represent
SS5,735. Manufactures materials are
valued at $2,25O and tools at $2,3lO.
Elevators, warehouses, etc., exist $780,
o4 worth, aud all other articles of a
miscellaneous nature foot up s26,126.
The total value as returned by the as
SCISSORS was $5533,185, and as equalized is
s62O,56S, showing a balance of $751; S3,
winch is the amount Of difference OF
opinion between the assessors and 1.-THE
