ASSESSMENTS ARE LARGE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3l.--Cook county's
asscssenents on personal property
amounts to S574,s97,55O, full value, or
assessed value, according to
fgores compiled by the clerks of the
board of review last night. This is by
far the largest valuation ever record
ed for the county and an increase Of
approximately 80 per cent over the re-
vieycrs' al of last year, on which
taxes were collected last spring
The gain was due largely to the in
crcases made upon the big estates, that
in the past had not been scheduled, and
to the belief Of the board at anything
like their full valuatin and to the in.
creases made by the reviewing body in
the personality valuations against the
large corporations.
The assessed value of the real es-
tate in the county is placed at s327,'
