GOODLAEB INCREASED S70. 600
ECLIPSES ALL FORMER RECORDS
OF GAIN IN PROPERTY.
Very Satisfactory Showing In Repsrt
Of Wallace Filler, City As
seSsOr, for 1905.

The growth in property values In
4 GOOdland is clearly evidenced In the
report Of Wallace Filler, city assessor,
+ 20 the county clerk OF Sherman cOun-
ty- This paper has. from time 60
time. printed articles showing the un-
paralleled building activity in Good
land People who have lived here
, many years, and people who visit the
town, have remarked surprisingly
upon the growth OF GOodland as COM
pared with other towns in Kansas.
To show that the growth has aCtu-
ally been wonderful, all that Is nee
eSSary is to compare the aSSessment
OF real and personal property Tor this
year, with that Of two years ago. The
personal property valuation In 1895
was $66,1SO, in the aggregate $500
was the amount Of constitutional exc
emptiOnS, leaving SIS, $50, which, Gi-
vided by three, as is the case with
personal property, left q net taxable
valuation Of personal property Of
S19, $50.
In March, 1906, Mr.. Filler reports q
total assessment Os personal proper
" at $12S,779, the constitutions eZ-
emptiOn being $500, leaving as one
third, $4O,16O, in net taxable personal
property The difference, therefore,
between the years is S20.37C, increase
in 1906, over that OF 1905.
Now, as TO the increase in valuation
Of lots and their improvements. AS
assessments Of real property are made
0AlAg every W. gHdA1H AAAE years LaNI
and 1906 viii be compared. In 1904
the valuation OF all town lots was
S20,431s improvements on same, S64,-
S24, making a total OF SS4,665. In
March, 1906, the returns show the
valuation OF lots to be S43, ,0S5; I'M
proveInents on same, S99, ,17S, making
total Of $142,263 real property with
improvements. Therefore, the increase
in the valuation Of city real property
with its improvements was S5T, T,5S9. in
the year 1906 over that OF 1904.
The increase in both personal and
real property in the year 1905 over
that Of 1904 and 1905, as a total, was
S77.96S- This is a report that the city
Of GOodland may be justly proud OF.
1t ought to be remembered, also
that. in this tabulatiOn for the year
1906, there has as yet been no returns
Of the valuation OF the property Of
the Rock Island within the city limits
of Goodland, made by the state audi
tor to the county clerk, which viii
amount to considerable indeed. Upon
the basis Of. say $4,000 increase, the
same levy as existed last year, $500
more in taxes than it received last
year, and the GOOdland city schools,
upon the basis Of last years levy,
would receive more than $1,70O in
crease in taxes, that would go TO the
support Of the schools. These are
facts that speak in words Of elo-
Quence for GOodland- It is indeed an
enviable record, made by the best
town in northwestern Kansas

That he was an earnest Christian man

brought to trial before the end OF the
third term Of court held after indict-

under the statute may be waived If
he has consented to a continuance Of
his cause at the third or any subse-

him as one Of the terms at which he
