Board of Equalization Busy.

The State Board Of Equalization is
hard at work equalizing the proper
ty assessments of Louisiana.
Some of the abstracts are incor-
rect, and will have to be corrected
before they can be used. This is the
first time In the history Of the board
that the abstracts have been received
50 promptly and Is due to the pas.
sage OF the measure by the last Leg
iglature making the assessors liable
to removal from office If they do
not furnish this information to the
board.
The total increase in the assess
ment OF the state this year, Judging
from the abstracts that have been
'eceived, will be something like S5,-
100000, of which the increase In
the city of New Orleans was $4,-
1899, leaving something like a
million increase I'm the country par
ishss. The figures now ascertain-
able show the increase in the coun-
try parishes to be $984,601.
An examination of the abstracts
submitted further shows that the
assessments In the timber pine lands
are largely running to Glass G, or
the lowest class Of timber, upon
which the rate of assessment is very
small. From the reports of the
assessors there is very little first
class timber in the state. To Offset
the classification made by the as
SCISSORS, 1t is probable that the board
VIII raise the increase on Class C.
timber. Because the valuation of
all cotton lands In the state has been
affected by the boil weevil it Is pro-
bable that the board will make
further reflection In the valuation
on these lands.
One new feature Of the abstracts
this year Is the number of automo-
oiles, which are assessed as a sep
arate class Of property from other
vehicles. According to the figures OF
the assessors there are 1923 automo-
biles In the state.
The assessors of the following
parishes have reported to the State
Board OF Equalization the number
OF automobiles owned in their par
ishes In 1910: Arcadia 81, Ascension
