S2.OOO,OOO GAIN IN
ASSESSED Value

Assessor Leonard returned from Car.
SON City Sunday morning, where be
had spent the week in attending the
meeting Of the state board Of assessors.
Values Of interest to citizens of
Humboldt county were fixed as follows
for the current yea:
Horses and mules, which embrace the
first five items on the personal proper
ty list, were left to the several county
assessors, a. were also hogs, telephone
and telegraph lines, electric and power
lines, state contract lands and thor.
oughbred cattle.
Beef cattle, $25.
Mich cows, t25.
Stock cattle, $15.
Sheep, %.
Buck sheep, Persian sheep and goats,
$5.
All the above values are the same as
last year.
The Central Pacific railroad was
raised from $1S,500 to $2s, 900 per mile,
and the Western Pacific was placed
at $4,000 per mile. The great difference
in valuation Of the two roads is due 10
the fact that the Western Pacific is q
new line as yet not in full operation.
1t has been stated that the Pullman
and Wells Fargo companies were not
assessed. Assessor Leonard states that
this is an error, as the Pullman CON-
pany was assessed at 5000 per mile on
all trunk lines over which they operate
and 800 per mile for branch lines.
The express company was assessed at
$500 per mile for all railroad lines over
which it operates. No assessment was
made against the stage lines operated
by this corporation, as it was thought
the company might choose to discol-
tinue the lines rather than pay taxes
on them.
Assessor Leonard estimates that un-
der the new valuations Humboldt
county viii gain over 100000. Un-
der normal conditions this increase Of
approximately 80 per cent in the coun-
ty's assessed valuation would have the
effect of materially reducing the tar
rate. However, since the first of last
June the county has been on a scrip
basis, owing to the unusually heavy ex-
penses occasioned by two long terms
Of criminal court. On the first Of the
month, there was nearly $35, 1000 Of this
scrip outstanding which must be
reckoned with whsn the tax levy is
established.
At the present rate Of $15 per ST.
900 Of assessed valuation, the gain of
$2,000,000 would produce an additional
revenue Of $4,000, which would nearly
take care of the scrip. However, the
law provides that the county rate must
be reduced so cents on the thousand
dollars Of assessed valuation, SO that
it is probable that the levy will not
be far from $14.50 per $1,000.
