fact that the present Board of
County Commissioners made a
great record in the year 1899 by
raising the valuation of property
in Lyon County some thousands
of dollars over the valuation of
1903. Some of the Commissioners
have been throwing boquets at
themselves, on account of this
record, to such an extent that a
few people actually believe that
the Commissioners have really
done something for the benefit of
the taxpayer.
For the purpose of showing the
taxpayers just how the valuation
of Lyon County property was
held up, and to whom the credit
is due, the following figures from
the assessment roll are given, and
an explanation made as to how
they came there:
In the first place the Assessors
valuation of property for 1899
was $I,I62,6S7. When the Com
missioners met as Board of Equal
ization they reduced the roll as
it was turned in by the Assessor,
$I387s, and this reduction was
made by lowering the valuation
of property owned by such peo-
pie as F. G. Newlands, Joe Doug
lass, Henry Miller and the Simp-
son estate-people of means and
influence in the county. To make
up for this reduction the Board
then goes to work and raises the
small taxpayers on real and per
sonal property $3.50. In this
raise there was an item of $4,000
on personal property (cattle) add
ed to the Simpson estate, and that
came about in this way: The
agent of the Simpson estate gave
in to the Assessor 300 head of
cattle. When the Simpson estate
was appraised for settlement the
appraisers fixed the number of
cattle at 1850 head, but instead of
adding $50 head to the roll the
Board of Equalization only added
4o8 head. The reason for this
action will be explained at another
time. In addition to the raises
and reductions above noted the
Board added mortgages to the
amount of $6,o77. These mort
cages are generally presented by
the Recorder, and could just as
we'll have been added by the As
SCISSOR as the Board of Equaliza-
ton.
With all this backing and filling
it will be seen that the Board
finally succeed in making an APP
parent raise over the Assessors
valuation of the magnificent sum
of $7I8. In reality the Board
lowered the Assessors valuation
just $5,45o, and to make even this
good a showing the small taxpay-
ers were made to stand the brunt
of the burden.
This is plain, straightforward
statement of the facts of this mat
ter. and if there is credit due any
body for holding the valuation up
it belongs to the Assessor. Any
body has the right to go to the
records to verify the statements
made above.
