The valuation of property in the
various counties shows some re-.

county acre property is valued at
$41.2S an acre, whereas two years

In Ramsey county the decrease
has been much more marked. The
valuation this year. being $3O.s2
against $32,75 in 1902. T..
! st. Louis county shows. a still
further reduction but it is account
ed for by the fact that over ], Oo0O eco
acres of new land bias been added
to the tax roll since 1902. This land
:is worth very little at present and
the low average valuation of it has
brought the general value of St.
Louis county land down from $32.43
to $27.59. =
~ The counties down the western
side of the state show a general in
crease in farm land values and in
many counties the increase is
marked. .Kittson, Norman, Wilkin,
Traverse, Big Stone, Stevens, Grant,
Red Lake, Becker and Lac qui Parle
all show great increases.
Along the southern tier of coun.
ties the values are less than before
with the exception of Mower where
the average value this year is $17, as
compared to 1854 two years ago.
