Assessor Frank Pick yesterday NOR
Frank J. Hazen the assessment roll
for the year 1906, he and his efficient
deputies, Poland and Langdoc, having
completed the work Of spreading the
assessment on the big book within
the statutory time. The completion
of the task enables the Office to fig
ure UP exactly and it is a most graf
flying total which greets the public
this year. Despite several discour-
aging features, notably the decrease
in the value Of stock cattle, almost a
quarter of a million dollars, the in
quarters of million dollars or ex-
actly, $773,980 The assessment, ex-
elusive of railroads, is $8.911, Ala. Last
year the state board assessed the rail-
roads in Fergus county at $166,040. II
the same figures prevail this year, the
total assessed valuation of Fergus
county Will be $9,O77,454.
The principal increase this year was
in real property and the improve
ments thereon. A large area of land
has been advanced from the second
to first class during the last year and
this has made a difference in the tax
able value of $74O.S4
This is the last year of Frank
Picks second term in the assessors
Office and since he has announced pos
itively that he will not try to sue
ceed himself, his record for the four
years is of general interest. The year
| before he entered the assessors office
or in 1902, the assessment was $685.
$40. It may thus be seen that Frank
Pick has increased the assessment
just $2,4s1,605 in four years, certainly
a record of which any official nigh
we'll be proud.

the number of claims taken up in
Fergus county this spring and
