PLAN OF ASSESSMENT.
State Board of Equalization In ses-
sion.

The state board of equalization was
in Ogden yesterday comforting with the
county commissioners of Weber and
Morgan counties relative to equalizing
the assessments for this year and hav-
ing a uniform method of determining
the value of property Some changes
We're proposed by Assessor Gibson from
the method heretofore followed. though
in general the plan is the same. The
scheme presented is about as follows:
Farm land is divided primarily into
five general divisions-farm, orchard,
lucern, pasture and waste land. These
are again divided as follows:
Farms-No. L: Best land in each
school district and in the highest state
of cultivation. No. 2. Average state of
cultivation. No. 3. Poorest state of
cultivation.
Orchards-No. l: Good bearing con-
diticn. No. 2: Prior to good bearing
condition. No. s: After age has rem
dered trees an encumbrance TO farm.
Lucern-NO. /: Plenty of water, in
surfing three crops per season. No. ,:
1nsuring two crops per season No. 8:
lnsuring one crop per season.
Pasture-No. /: Meadow land that if
not pastured would produce crop OF
wild hay. No. .: Part meadow, willow
and slough. No. 3: Cannot be used for
anything but pasture.
Waste-Mountain land. river bed,
gravel bars, alkali, salt barrens, until
liable land producing no grass.
The valuation OF the above lands are
also rated with reference to facilities
for marketing crops, distance and
adaptabllity of land to certain products,
depth of SOIL etc. as well as to water
supply. AS an illustration No. farm
in Ogden would be rated at $125 per
acre. At North ogden the rate is $50. so,
while at Roy it would be but $50 or $50
according to the facilities for securing
water.
In the city a different plan is adopt
ed. A Graded scale is prepared run
ming from the most valuable property
in the city. in block %, plat A, to the
lowest near the mountains in Mob Hill
addition. For example: The Brown
hotel corner is assessed at S270 per front
foot, the values gradually decreasing in
all directions from the business center
to the city limits, the value of a lot
in Mob Hill addition near the noun
tains being 40 cents per front foot
