GROWTH OF
STATE IS
RAPID
Increase In actual
Cash Valuation of
Property SIS
100000.

Denver, Sept. 1.-THE actual cash
valuation of all property in Colorado
is s1,239, 100000. This is an increase
of $4,000, 900 over last year and in
dicates the rapid growth of the state.
The figures were returned yesterday
by the assessors of Colorado to State
Auditor Leddy and are one-third OF
these amounts because the assess
ments are based on one-third of the
actual value. Colorado, outside OF
Denver, shows an increase of s5,O00,-
600 in assessed valuation, but Asses
sor Henry ]. Arnold of this county de-
creased the assessment s6,000,000.
This caused a decrease of S1,000.OOO
in the whole state. The actual as
sessed valuation of the state last year
was s414,sS5. 200, as compared with
s413, 900 this year.
Auditor NJ. A. Leddy, who is a men,
Der of the state board of equalization,
says the board probably will vote to
increase Mr.. Arnold's figures by 10
per cent There are two Denver men
and three state men on the board.
THE other counties have shown in
creases," said Mr.. Leddy, "and Den
yer should bear its burden. The state
win suffer unless we collect at least
as much as least year from Denver
We have hoped that there would be an
Increase"
Mr.. Leddy has estimated that the
total assessed valuation OF the state
would reach s42O,OOO.OOO The great
est increases have been made in the
agricultural counties. The only de-
creases have been in the mining coun-
ties and in Denver, where Assessor
Arnold employed a new system of as
sessing The state board of equali-
zation increased the assessments OF
the railroads and other coroprations
100000.
The abstracts returned by the as
SCISSORS are in and the board Of equal
ization will meet in two weeks to
review the abstracts and to hear COM
plants. The railroads have nearly all
entered protests against their assess
ments. The board OF equalization has
the power to increase the assessment
in any county and to check returns
made by the assessor
I'VE have found all taxable prop
erty in fine condition in the state"
said Auditor Leddy. "The valuation of
the whole state is too conservative.
Colorado is making tremendous
growth, especially in the agricul-
aural counties. The impetus given to
mining will have its effect in few
years"

Denver, Aug 31.-The publication
of the sessions laws gave the first
of arriving at the appro-
priations made by the last general
assembly The total amount is S4,-
576,945.o5, when is over $4,000 above
any previous estimate This does not
include the road and bridge fund, COM
monty termed the Internal Improve
ment fund. The officials have classi-
fed the appropriations as follows;
Statutory .............. l54,Voi.4d
First Glass ....... 1892 ,307.S5
Second Class ............ 9Io'2oo.oo
Third Glass ............ S00,4Oo.OO
Fourth Glass ....... 175,250.OO
Fifth Glass ............. 1SS,lS2.7T
Capitol Building . 399,500.00
Special and Transfer fund 21S,100.00
State Treasurer Kenehan estimates
that the income for the period will
be little over two and one half mil
lion, which will leave a shortage of
almost two million dollars.
Mr.. Kenehan estimates that not more
than 80 per cent of the third class
will be paid and none of the fourth
and fifth classes.
The first difficulty in which the
state. finds itself as a result of these
over-appropriations arose during the
past week when the federal govern
ment notified the state board of stock
inspection commissioners that it
would not furnish stock inspectors
for Colorado unless Colorado furnish
ed an equal number with the gvern-
ment. The appropriation for these in
spectors is in the fourth class and
cannot be reached unless transferr-
ed to the first class, where it does
not belong. The government officials
say that if they withdraw their in
spectors, all Colorado stock will have
to be quarantined and dipped before
being shipped out of the state.

der the heading First Glass" means
