THE SOIL in Curlew Valley is of
the same general character as that

OF the fertility OF the soil.
THE CLIMATE is approximately

RAISE IN VALUE

PRINCIPAL INTEREST
ON CATTLE-HORSES
State Board OF Equalization Boosts
Assessment by About One Million
oollars-oavis County Valuation
Remains Unchanged.

In creases in the assessed valuation
OF various classes of personal pro.
perry In various counties in the state
of Utah which will augment the total
on the assessment rolls approximate,
~ Sl,000,000 has been ordered BY the
state board OF equalization. The prin.
cipal increases in the list pertain to
the raising OF the assessment ON hor.
ses and cattle in graduated scale IN
the various counties. some of ;hp
raises being as great as 81 per cont.
some as low as 10 per cent.
No changes in the valuation of
sheep have been ordered, 1t being con
sidered by the board that this problem
was settled for the present when the
whole question was threshed over at
lengthy sessions of the board two
years ago.
'... Raises Vary Widely. e.. ....
That the work of the assessors in
some sections of the state has been
much more favorably regarded by the
hoard than the valuations made by
the men doing the work In other pol-
tons is clearly indicated by the wide
divergence between the limits of the
raise. For instance. in the valuation of
cattle, Carbon, Emery, Grand. Wash
ington and Wayne counties the In.
crease in valuation is placed at % per
cent. while in Morgan, Piute, Sewer,
Summit and some other counties the
raise Is only Is per cent.
AS regards horses, the difference is
even more pronounced. The raise in
Box Elder county is placed at 35 per
cent, while a majority OF the other
counties of the state escape with a
raise OF 10 per cent. The assessment of
Davis county is the only one that re.
mains entirely unchanged.
While the proposed raise in the as.
sessed valuation will increase the rev.
enue to the state by about $4,000, 1t
is explained by members of the board
that this is not the prime motive in
ordering the readjustment, which is
simply designed to render more equit
able the burden of taxation, the board
believing, as it does that in many
cases the basis of valuation has been
too low.
Ready to Hear Objections.
Full notations OF the various chan
ges have been sent to the proper of
flcials in the various counties affected
and the board has designated Thurs
day, August 10, as the day for hearing
arguments on any objections which
may be raised although any county
may be heard prior to that date il il
so desires.
The following are the raises as or
dered by the state board.
