County Assessor Luke has changed
the method of assessing the banks, and
it is now for the board of equalization
to say whether the new assessments
shall stand. 1t has hitherto been the
practice, at least for the last two
years, to assess the banks for 60 per
cent of their capital stock and to de-
duct from the assessment the real es-
tate owned by the bank. The as
SCISSOR this year has assessed 10 per
cent of the capital stock and he has
refused to make any reduction on ac-
count of the real estate which he finds
credited to the capital stock. The
real estate of the banks assessed by
him this year amounts to sS4, GOO.
Representative of all the banks were
before the board yesterday and the
matter was refereed to the district at
torney. -Republican.
