INCREASE IS
TWO MILLION
REPORT OF COUNTY ASSESSOR
ABOUT READY TO BE
SUBMITTED.
BIG LOSS FROM STOCK
Land Values and Improvements Make
Up Big Gain-Loss of Over Three
Million to Musselshell County Is
More Than Two Thirds Regained
in Single Year-In Third Class.

lhe completed report oi County
Assessor Mike Gurnett will be ready
to be placed before the county clerk
and recorder sometime tomorrow.
All OF the items have been written
up and the clerks in the Office are
now checking up their work and
getting at the totals.
Big Increase.
The grand total, exclusive OF rail
roads, the valuation Of which is
fixed by the state board of examiners,
is $l3,l62,42l. Last year the railroad
assessment was $2,423,42l, and if it is
that great this year, the total as
sessed valuation Of the county will
be $l5,5S6, 400
The total last year, railroads in
cluded was $l6,852,276 When Mus
selshell county was created it took
away from Fergus property which,
last year, was assessed at $3,4O8, PIG
That amount deducted from the total
would leave $l3,444 O68 as the assess
ment Of Fergus county as it IS now
constituted Deducting the railroad
assessment from that amount, the as
sessed valuation OF that portion OF
Fergus left after the segregation OF
Musselshell is $l1,020,O72, as COM
pared to- $l3,l62,42l this year, or an
actual increase, exclusive Of railroads,
OF $2,l42,349.
Increase in Land.
This is splendid showing, es-
pecially in view of the big loss which
naturally resulted from sheep and cat
tie The big increase comes from
land which has been proved up or
and from Improvements on the land
The next issue of this paper will give
the figures in full.

mand a much higher price tor the

It was announced that large
number of the property owners in

sidered
Hold Another Election.
The members Of the board have
been III frequent consultation with
the architects during the last ten
days, upon which occasions the ques-
tion Of the proper location Of the new
building has been earnestly discussed.
It was the desire Of the board to re-
frain, if possible, from disturbing the
old building until the new one is
completed, but the character Of the
site makes it imperative that the old
building be moved il the new struc-
turc is to be located to the best ad-
vantage. For that reason, the board
has decided to call a special election
for Friday, August a, so that the
voters of the district may determine
whether or not the old building shall
be taken away, that being required
by law before the board can take any
action.
Hunting School Rooms.
In the event that the old building
is razcd, it will be necessary for the
board to locate four additional school
rooms for the coming year. A num-
Der Of comfortable rooms. convenient
" located, are under consideration
| by the board.

Island and the small cost necessary
to improve this property, and with
the belief that a small park III the
central part OF town is very neces-
sary, as place Of rest for transients
and those who visit our city from
the surrounding country.
The reason tor the second choice
of the committee recommending the
Crowley site is, it is practically as
near to the business center of the
city as any of the sites. with the ex-
ception OF the committees first
choice; it has great natural beauty,
being traversed by several pic
turesque bends of Big Spring creek
and has number of excellent shade
trees and natural shrubbery thereon.
Your committee found very little wet
or undesirable land upon this tract,
and think that with a minimum OF
expense it can be made into a most
beautiful park, with all park advan-
tages. The soil is very rich and all
vegetation will grow very rapidly.

ford number of shallow and fine
wading beaches, and other bends af-

and swimming pool facilities, if de-
sired The committee considers the
price of eight hundred dollars
($S0000) per acre very reasonable, il
view of what surrounding properties
have sold at 1t was the understand
ing Of the committee that the heirs
OF John H. Crowley will plat the
surrounding land in the near future
and offer it for sale, at which time
Second and Third avenues will be
extended north to the border of this
park site, and at the present time
the main county road north from
Lewistown forms the east boundary
Of This property.
Your committee preferred the
Crowley site to the Park addition
| for the reason that it believes the
| future growth Of the town will ex-
tend in northerly rather than in Z
southerly direction; and for the rea
son that the railroad bounds the park
addition site on practically two sides
and also because your committee
| considers that the cost of improving
the Park addition site and making i
into a park would be greater than II
the case Of the Crowley site; and also
because OF the Crowley site being ira
versed by Big Spring creek and hav
ing number of trees and natura
shrubbery growing thereon, as here
nbefore stated
However, if the city of Lewistowr
can possibly arrange for the purchase
of three park sites. we strongly ad
vocate and recommend that Park ad
dition be also purchased. When nee
essary drainage and filling in ha:
been done, this can be made into {
beautiful park site, and it seems tc
the committee that it will be very de
sirable to have park in the cente>
of town Crooks Island), park il
