BUTTE COUNTY'S TAXES.
Assessor A. E. Morton and Deputy
A. M. Smith appeared for Butte Coun-
ty. They said that the falling off or
about three quarters of a million was
due to the poor crops of wheat and to
the fact that successive crops have i'm
poverished the land. Tracts that once
sold for $50 an acre now went beg
ging at $22 80 an acre.
In 1898 Butte'S assessment was Sl3,-
ATS, 760; in 1899, $12,63S, 733. The de-
crease in outside lands was 81 ,049, ,660,
but the increase of personal property
raised the total values so as to partly
equalize these losses.
I'VE have more personal property
than we did have" said the Assessor,
more sheep, more wheat, and better
crops than our neighbors had This
year we reduced wheat lands about 10
per cent. We have assessed large tracts
sold for that sum now. The North
place, of 600 acres, is perhaps the best
place in the county. In 1897 it sold
for 333,425, and we have assessed 1T
for $30,455. The Wahl ranch sold
(part of it) for $9,900 and we assessed
it for $13,040
James Farris, a land owner in Butte.
Fresno, Yolo, Solano and other coun-
ties, testified that Butte was assessed
quite high. Questioned closely as TO
values, he turned on the board and
asked: What is your basis, or standard
of values? If you go on earning power
I've lost money farming in Butte
County"
Butte County was then taken under
advisement.
SAN DIEGO EXCUSED.
Assessor Rush, Auditor Shaffer and
Supervisor Jasper were on hand for San
Diego County. That county's assess
ment for 1898 was S18,S15, 5,5S6; for
1899, $1S,174904-a decrease of $640,-
6S2. But by an error in that county's
figuring, the losses had appeared in ex-
cess of a million. Mr.. Toland's motion
that the local assessment stand and
that the county's officers be excused
was carried.
The board continues it's session at
$40 a. m to-day
