Personal Property Assessment.


City assessor Jennison has made
returns of his assessment for Great
Bend city to county clerk Ashpole.
The total taxable personal property
as per his report is $1S9,I7 a
decrease of s10.801 from last year,
Notwithstanding a prosperous year
and an increase in population.
The total taxable personal property
for the county is 1912, 952, an increase
off S26,379. There is a slight in
crease in the value of lands and lots
by improvements, and an increase in
the railroad valuations of about
$4,000.
We have not fully investigated the
assessments, but from first glance
are at a loss to know what has be
come of all the big wheat crop anc
big prices paid for it, even if much o.
it was paid for land outside of the
county, there was still great deal o.
money kept at home and put into
personal property.

The music, dramas, and recitations
were fine, and to select any particular
pupil as having done exceptionally
