SLUMP IN GRAZING LANDS
Different Story May be Told
by Tax Schedules Next
Year.

Only three of the twenty-five coun-
ties in the territory failed to show
increases this year in the valuation
OF property returned .or taxation
purposes. One of these appearing on
the wrong side of the ledger was
Sandoyal county which registered a
net loss of s43,320.5O. A different
story may be told by the tax sched..
ules next year, judging from the pres
ent rate Of development The total
assessed valuation for this year Is
SS3o,6O5, while last year it was sy73..
3S0.50.
Ihe decrease in the assessment is
due mainly to the big slump in graz.
ing lands. In this one classification
alone there is a decline of SlG2 .6yy
or almost one-ffth of the total assess
ment for 1907 The drop in grazing
lands is partially Offset by an increase
IN timber lands of $105,S34. No tim.
Der lands were listed in 1906 In.
creases are noted in the majority OF
the other classified property but with
few exceptions the advances are OF
only nominal amount.
Sandoval countys regular tax
levy this year for general
county purposes is 80 1.2 mills.
and of this eight mills are
levied to defray it's share of the
bonded debt of Bernalillo county, of
which 1t originally was part In ad-
dition to this tax there are special lev
les in the several school districts for
school purposes varying from three
to fifteen mills.
