The State Board of Equalization has
finally completed its labors. After all
of the talk and bluster about forcing
the county assessors to change their as
scssments to suit the ideas of the state
board, the, whole matter was dropped
except in the cases of few counties
where sugar factories are located, Boul-
der, Larimer, Weld, Morgan, and Lo-
gan, and, in these cases, the assessors
were cited TO appear at Denver Monday
and, at that meeting, basis of assess
ment of these factories was agreed mp
on. The board of Equalization made
the usual levy OF mills for state pur-
poses and also levy Of lis mill TO
pay interest on the $3.50, 600 worth of
bonds issued to cover the cost OF sup
pressing the insunection at Cripple
