Seeking information.

The Courier says the assessment
roll of Douglas county foots up $11 ,OcO
less this year than last and attributes
the loss to the change in the State
line by which Douglas county loses
property valued at $4,000. This is a
very poor showing for Douglas county
and presents quite contrast to the
f1orid description of Douglas county
ranches published in the Courier a few
weeks ago. 1t then stated that Douglas
county had a large area of alfalfa land
that could not be bought for 5000 an
acre. If the Independent is not imper-
tinent it would ask the Courier how
many acres of that land are assessed
at 5000 an acre? If this is considered
impertinent, the Independent would
really like to know how much that
choice alfalfa land is assessed per &C
re? 1t is merely seeking for some ba.
sis upon which to reconcile the as
sessment roll of Douglas county with
the Courier's statement
