COMMISSIONERS OF ELKo County,
STATE or NEVADA. ELKo, NEVADA
Dear Sirs:-Your honorable body sit.
ting ns a Board Of Equalization having
summoned The First National Bank Of
Elko, New. TO appear and accept or
protest against the arbitrary assessment
Of $4,000 which has been made on its
r%ersonal property, am directed by
the officers Of the bank to appear before
you and make tie following statement:
The assessment upon the personal
property (other than on its office furn-
iture) of The First National Bank is
illegal, and as such We protest against
it. Under the law Natior al banks are
not subject TO State or County taxes
upon their moneys, nevertheless the
Fret National bank hereby renews the
offer it made the Board on moro than
one occasion last year to.wit: That it is
willing to pay taxes on its personal
property as assessed, provided a fair
proportion Of the public funds are de-
posted with the said bank for the CONF
ing year, aud offers to deposit with the
Board, United States interest bearing
gold bonds for every dollar Of public
moneys received by said bank Tor de.
posit. BY not accepting this offer the
county lost last year over 5000.
We will now go n step further, II
the Comfy viii deposit all Of its funde,
for not less than 3 year, with the First
National Bank, said bank will secure
the people Of the county by n deposit OF
United States bonds bearing . per cent
interest, the County to have the benefit
OF interest on such bonds for the average
amount Of county moneys in the bands
OF said bank during such time, and the
bank will pny it's full tax as assessed,
thus brinRin. into tie Golfers OF the
County, in interest and taxes, some.
thing like 81, 800 per annum, or enough
to pay the salary of the County Clerk
and Treasurer for the year.
Or, the First National Bank will
furnish u Surety Company's bond for
nj, amount sufficient to cover the County
funds III it's hands at their maximum
during the year, and the eaid Bank will
itself pay the county interest at two e
per cent per annum OH the average
balance the county has with the said
bank during the year.
Or, il the County will cquitably
divide the funds with the First National
Bank, for at least a year, the eaid hanL
will pay it's tax as assessed, and will
deposit U. s. Gold bonde, or other ap,
proved securities to secure puch de,
post.
IL the Board elects to make nc
division Of the funds, the Bank will
stand upon its righte, and hereby re,
fuses to pay any other than the tar
levied upon its real estate and office
furniture. National banks are subject
to certain taxes upon circulation, tol
examinations, md other expenses moi
borne by State or private bnnke.
Respectfully submitted,
Il, IL MALLETT.
