AudltlOnai PARTICULARS OF Lut NoIh "
the Territorial Equalization board.
The territorial board OF equalization
has fixed the assessed valuation for
1897, with Logan county as the basis
OF valuation. The assessed valuation
OF Logan county was sl,79o,65i. The
total assessed valuation is S3l asa, ,943,
Of which So, sos, OSs is for railway prop
erty. The federal limitation Of the
territorial Indebtedness is per cent
Of its assessed valuation. An assess
ment on the valuation OF 1896, which
was about 25 million dollars, would
have been insufficient TO pay the run
ming expenses OF the territorial govern
ment The increase, however, gives
an additional expense latitude Of about
$40. 600, which places the finances OF
the territory in excellent shape. The
expenditures for 1896 were $50, coo
The expenditures for 1897 have been
estimated at $4,000. In 1895, when
the legislature met, the expenses were
sl09, 600.

crease, which is specified IN the latter

While the increases for different
counties may appear heavy, the in
creased amount to be paid by the tax
payers, when distributed over 4 couu
ty, will be lightly felt. Taxes in Ok
lahomA will gradually lessen with tn
increased assessed valuation, brough
about by the nnal payment on claim
by homesteadels.
