on each one hundred dollars valuation
of the assessable property of the coun-
ty at their meeting Tuesday, which
makes the tax rate effective exactly
$2.0 90 on each hundred dollars assessed
valuation. The total assessment of
the county amounts 20 So, 9O7, ,5l8,
which does not include few additions
made Tuesday. Figuring the valua-
tion as stated it means that the coun-
ty exchequer will be enriched by the
next two tax payments in the sum of
$78, 150.36, of which amount $23, ,545
must go to the state, the state tax
rate for this year being $50. Last
years's assessed valuation amounted to
81, 857, 2O4. Thus it will be seen that
this years increase amounts to around
81, 050, 600. OF this increase the larger
part falls upon the Southern Pacific
Company, which is assessed this year at
So, 492, 76o, as compared with 81, ,517, 393
for last year.
Fallon's assessment for this year
shows material falling of over that
of last year, the figures being as fol-
lows 1909. S475, s39; 1908. s556.927
A large part of this decrease Is direct
ly attributable to the loss of much
personal property, formerly in use in
freighting between here and the mln-
ing camps. Last years rate of assess
mcf,t for town purposes was Atty cents
on each hundred dollars town valuation
as compared to sixty cents this year.
Last year e2. 7s4. "A was realised from
the town assessment for town purpos-
es. This year the sum will 5e about
the same, the tax rate being higher.
Of the total assessment of the coun-
ty, the country outside of Falion and ex-
elusive of the railroad company furnish
es an assessed valuation of 81, ,22O, ,952.
To this sum should be aided $54, 1870

mines of the county. These sums to-
gether with the assessment of the rail-
road company and of the city of Fal-
lon comprise the entire roll. OF the
