STATE CAPITOL.
'FALLs0N The CITIES
Nearly Half Of the Increase in Per.
sonal Property Assessments
Comes on Them.
Hennepin and Ramsey Counties Con-
tain One-third the Assessed
Personal Property.

More than 20 per cent of the per-
sonal property assessment for 1903
comes from Hennepin county. Ram
sey county supplies little over 3 per
cent, so that the two large counties
together contain one-third of the tax
able personal property of the state.
Hennepin's assessment for 1903 is
an increase Of $5,61s,529 over 1902.
Ramsey's increase is s3,245,655. The
total increase in the state is $19,343,-
1873, and the two large counties fur
nished 46 per cent Of this increase,
showing that the increases voted by the
state board Of equalization hit the
owners of city property more than
twice as hard as they did the taxpay-
ers on the farms and sin the small
towns.
Hennepin countys personal property
figures for this year and last are as
follows: oo
