The total assessed values Of 1894 Is
% per cent less than the total as finally
equalized In 1893. MnItnomah county
(Portland) ls 10 per cent below last
year on town lots. Marion and Multi
nomah are far below the rest of the
state In assessed values aud the ques-
tion before the board is whether to
raise these two counties or lower all the
rest of the state. One or the other will
have to be done. Farm properly has
suffered quite as much from the de-
preston of the past two years as town
property aud the board will labor hard
to do the fair thing. The board should
have power to assess the railroad, tele-
graph, telephone and sleeping car
properties in the state, of having a
hundred different men doing that work
as it is now done very unequally or
not at all.
