y Yesterday the annual meeting of
the county assessors of Colorado was
held nt the capitol in Denver. Be
yond reporting the amounts of tax
able property and the assessment in
each county, and extending an invi-
tation to the members of the state
board of equalization to meet the
assessors in conference today little
was accomplished. Heretofore the
assessors and the state board of
equalization have not worked togeth-
er tremendously, and the desire for
better relations and more equal taxa
tion of all kinds of property led the
assessors to seek a conference. Sew
eral of the county assessors reported
falling off in the total assessment
in their respective counties as re
suit of law passed by the last gem
eral assembly eXempting $500 to
each householder. 1t is estimated
that the total assessment of the state
would be reduced S2,000,000.
