filming its position and making certain
recommendations and suggestions.
The letter sent to the board Of county

Letter to the Board.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. IA, 1907.
ITO the Board of County Commission
ers of Albany County, Laramie,
Wyo.
"Gentlemen:-At the recent meeting
of the state board of equalization in
this city, it was represented that tax
able lands in the state Of Wyoming,
~aggregating something like 100000
acres have not been listed for taxation
for the year 1907; also that from 80 to
so per cent of the personal property
of the state held and owned by the
citizens of the state. and consisting
of live stock, moneys and credits, mu-
steal instruments. merchandise and
other classes of personality. had also
been omitted from the assessment
rolls by property owners for the cur.
rent year.
Indicate Neglect.
These statements, if true, indicate
a neglect of duty on the part of county
taxing authorities as startling as they
are deplorable, and in this connection,
the board deems it it's duty to direct
your attention to the claims as made.
and recommend that you at once pro.
coed with a thorough investigation OF
this matter and cause all property
omitted by the assessors to be placed
on the rolls for taxation, pursuant to
section 1856 of the Revised Statutes
of Wyoming for 1899.
SeVeTe fendity Prescribed.
The board also directs your atten,
ton to the severe penalty prescribed
by the laws Of this state for any neg,
lect of duty on the part of county as
SCISSORS, the punishment being a heavy
fine and Imprisonment. Section 6.
chapter 10, last of 1903. There does
not appear to be any excuse for omit
ting taxable lands, as abstracts of
lands in private ownership may be
readily procured from local United
States land offices.
Duty of State Board.
Section 10 of article Is, constitu-
ton of the state of Wyoming. makes
it the duty of the state board Of equal
ization to equalize the valuation Of all
property in the several counties for
state revenue. You will, therefore, ap-
preciate the necessity of procuring a
list of all the taxable property in your
county, in order that the state tax may
be equitably apportioned among the
various counties of the state.
kindly report to this board the re-
suit of your investigation. Yours very
truly,
+, EDWARD GILLETTE, President.
LEROY GRANT, Secretary.

TAX LEVY
is RAISED
FIvE-EiGHTHS OF A MILL ADDED
FOR STATE PURPOSES BY THE
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
Now Six and Half Mills, Added
Amount Being to Cover Appropria-
tions Made by Last State LegisIa-
ture-Laramie Plains Line Valued
for First Time for Taxation.

Announcement was made by the
state board of equalization this morn
ing that the valuation of all corporate
property has been raised about 60 per
cent on an average, says the Cheyenne
Tribune. The private car lines which
are taxed on a somewhat complicated
system of accounting on a basis of the
miles run in the state will pay about
33 per cent more taxes than last year.
Pullman cars are the exception, being
taxed the same as last year.
Valuation Increased Ninety Per Cent.
On account of the increase in mile
age of some of the roads, more private
cars, more telegraph and telephone
lines and other increases, the total
valuation of corporate property in the
state will approximate $14,071 900, or
80 per cent more than last year, when
was something over 1000, 900. Last
year the total value Of property as
sessed for taxation a s51, 000, 900;
this year the total valuation is 1884,
soc, 900, of which $50, 500, 900 is not in
cluded in corporate property
Tax Levy Raised.
The levy as fixed by the state board
for all counties in the state was SIS
mills on each dollar in 1906. This
year, on account of appropriations
made by the last legislature, the board
states that it has been found neces-
sary to increase the levy to 6a mills
on the dollar, the principal demand
for the additional revenue being the
new state building, the girls dormi-
tory at Laramie, hospital additions at
Rock Springs and Sheridan, a feeble
minded institute at Lander and an ad-
dition to the insane asylum at Evans,
ton. This increase in the levy, togeth-
err with the increase of $13, SOC, 900 in
the assessed value of all property, will
make a vast increase in the revenue
of the state for the coming year.
Railway Increases.
AS above stated, the railroad in
crease averages for each road about
60 per cent, being as follows:
Railroad 1906 1907
Union Pacific, per mile. 5 1000 $14,4O0
Oregon Short Line...... 5000 $4,000
Wyoming and West 20.
S. L. ............ 5000 1890
Guernsey branch, Bur-. $500 1000
| Sheridan branch. Bur-. 400 6.56O
, 1907-08-15

There are about seventy-five other
private car lines operating in the state
which will be taxed on a mileage
basis. the increase this year amount
ing to about 3 per cent more than the
taxes paid last year.
Telegraph Lines Per Mile.

THE shades Of Washington are certainly
over us today" remarked Judge Mullowny
In the Police Court. The remark followed
the trial Of the charge Of larceny against

Il was going to give you a year, but be-
cause you came here on WaShington's
birthday and told me the truth 1 will take
off six months"
Green, according to his own statement,
was walking along Sth street. between D
and E streets northwest. yesterday morn
ing when he saw coal wagon with
ton Of coal in it standing, without a driv-
err, at the curb. Green jumped onto the
load and drove of with it. He finally went
into Cedar street aand there offered to
sell the ton Of coal to Miss Gladstone, who
has store on the street, for $50. Police
man Lawless Of the eighth precinct grew
suspicious at the price at which the coal
