MONTESANO, Aug. 27.-The coun-
ty board of equalization, that con-
cluded it's sessions last Thursday, had
one of the most strenuous series of
meetings in the history of Chehalis
county. The charge by the state tax
commission that the assessed valua-
tions of this county were rotten"
last year, gave reason for a general
raise all along the line, and the num-
ber of taxpayers summoned to ap
pear and show cause why their valua-
tions should not be increased was un-
precendented.
At the close as nearly as can be fig
ured out, the figures of the assessor
on personal property have been low
cred about 100000, while about one
half that sum has been added to real
ty, largely to the class of lands lying
near or in the cities of Grays Har-
bor
AS equalized, the total of personal
property on the rolls will approx,
mate $3,225,OOO as against $2,4O5, ,4O2
in 1910.
Much of the lowering of values can
be attributed to the reduction made
on lumber and saw logs. which will
take off about $4,000 from the rolls
The tax rolls show a total of 74,000,-
900 feet of lumber in mill yards and
46, 100000 feet of logs in the woods.
On this reduction of 81 thousand
feet has been made.
