The 5-mill road tax voted for by the
taxpayers of the Roy district was levied
by the board. The road tax for the Sla-
terville district was not levied Because
thirty-fiye taxpayers protested against
Abe voting of the tax for the reason that
"a number of qualified voters were pre-
r$snted from voting on account of their
names being omitted from list sent out
from the clerks office alleging TO be the
official list of qualified voters. After an
opinion from the county attorney on the
subject the board decided there would be
no road tax levied for the Statewide
district this year.
Before the question of levying the school
and road taxes the auditor submitted a
report showing the total assessment OF
ali property outside of Ogden City as 81
SO2 2O6. and the total assessment Of all
property In the city as 81, 22S, making
a grand total of sl6,564.4Si. The net In
crease in total assessments of 1908 over
1907 is given as S5i3. 093. The valuation for
the county is $40 less than II was year
ago owing 20 the fact that 10000 head OF
sheep assessed here in 1897 are not in the
county this year.
Another report submitted to the board
by the county auditor showed the total
property owned by Weber county as slS3.-
= 1921 and the total indebtedness OF the
county as S166, 7s9.4l leaving the county
SIG 1854. 46 over and above the Indebtedness
This report also showed that there was
in the different funds in the county treas
ury cash amounting to sl9.03S.S 50.
