THE STATE AND SCHOOL TAX
Fixed BY the State Board of
Equalization.
SEVEN AND A HALF MILLS THE
AMOUNT.
A Reduction of Half a Mill as Com
pared With Last Year-Delay In
Fixing the Valuation For the
State.

The state board of equalization met
yesterday and after disposing of some
minor routine matters, proceeded to fix
the tax levy for the state for this year.
After thoroughly investigating the mat
ter the board finally passed the fol-
lowing resolution fixing the tax rate:
WHEREAS, The returns of the county
assessors and the county auditors are
before us, and furnish the sequired in
formation; and,
Whereas, To raise the amount of
from the taxable property in the state
of Utah, It is necessary TO levy a tax
of IL mills on the dollar for state and
school purposes, therefore,
Resolved, By the state board of
equalization of the state of Utah that
the tax levy for the state of Utah for
the year 1897 on all the taxable prop
erty in the state, as valued by said
assessors and this board, shall be and
hereby is fixed at the rate of 71a mills
on the dollar, for state and school pur-
poses"
Last year the tax levy was mills,
so there is a reduction of Il mill on the
dollar for 1897. The assessed value of
the state has not yet been exactly as
certained by the board, as there are
few more values to be added, but it
will reach about SOL, 700,0 900.
The board then proceeded to assess
the several car companies operating
in the state This is a thing the board
has never before done, but the. mat
ter was taken under consideration, and
the following car companies were as
sessed:
c. B. Havers Car company Arbuckle
Ariosa Dispatch company, Armour
lines, Continental Cattle Car company,
Blue line, California Fruit Express,
Continental Fruit Express company,
California Fruit Transportation COM
pany, Kingan Refrigerator line. Kan
sas Dressed Beef line, Libby, McNiel &
Libby, Union Tank line, Union Refrig-
orator Transportation line, st. Louis
Refrigerator line, Cudahy lines, Swift
Refrigerator line, Hammond Refrigera-
tor line, Burton Stock Car company.
The whole list makes a total of 100
cars at $3.50 per car. The companies
will be given time to enter any objec-
ton they may have before the final
assessment is made. This, with other
matters, will delay the board in max
ing the exact assessed valuation of the
state for about two weeks longer. 1t
has already been delayed very much
by the failure of some of the counties
to promptly make their returns.
