SACRAMENTO. Sept. 1.-The state board
of equalization at today's session decided
to allow the assessment rolls Of the various
counties Of the state to remain as fixed by
boards Of supervisors and returned by
county auditors. :, 1t has been understood
for some time past that no changes would
be made, owing to the fact that all valua-
lions were greater than left by the state
board In 1897. Owing to the increase in
property valuation, the state rate. includ-
ing the university tax Of two cents on the
