was with him In the examination OF
assessments and tax matters in the
counties of fChayes. Eddy and Roose-
welt. The travelling auditor made a
careful examination of the tax assess
ments in the counties named, and it
was found that in Eddy county the
assessment was lower this year than
it was in 1893. when in justice and
right, 1t should be $3.50, 900 higher.
In Chayes county the assessment con
ditions were found to be fair and the
county has about the same assess
ments it had last e In Roosevelt
county. the Republican officials ap-
pointed by Governor Otero, have done
remarkably well and the assessment
is the best and most thorough in cas-

ford reports to be in good condition.
For a new county and one THAI is on

showing. In Eddy county the assess.

of last year, and about $Is.1 O00 worth
OF property which should have been
listed does not appear on the tax
rolls. A thorough classification of the
land still owned by the Maxwell LAM
Grant Company has been obtained.
and this shows that on an average
these lands are assessed 4. - cents
an acre.
Chaves. Eddy and Roosevelt coun-
ties show a decided increase in popu.
lation during the past 20 months
which Mr.. Stafford estimates to be
nearly 40 per cent. Union county has
also increased in residents.
