est Taxes Will Be in the City Of
Roundup, 81 Mills

The board OF county commission
ers at meeting held the first OF
the week, fixed the 1911 tax levy. be-
ing as given on the side Of this
article. 1t will be seen that the
county levy alone is 14f mills in
Guiding a special road fund levy Of
three mills. There is also a special
state stock indemnity and bounty
fund levy of four mills which is only
applicable to stock.
The people Of Roundup will pay
the highest taxes of any district in
the county, the levy here being 81
mills. divided as follows: State. q;
County, 14i; City. 10: School Dis
trict No. So, 10. This is less than
the Fergus county levy last year,
which was 19l mills not including
the city and school district lew.
The board has completed the
equilizing of the assessment as re-
turned by the county assessor. and
the list has been forwarded to the
state board of equalization. Unless
some very radical changes are made
by the state board, the valuation of
the county will remain in the neigh
borhood of $9.0OO,O0O.
There has been considerable OBJ
lection on the part Of Thomas
Cooper. land commissioner of the
n. p. railway. to the assessment
Of coal land the surface of which
has passed out of the hands of the
company. This will mean a con-
siderable reduction in the valuation
if the state boord decides that it
isn't assessible. the matter having
been allowed to go before the state
board for disposal.

II. F. Clement Paid Only That Sum
for Isolated Tract Instead Of
$4,000 as Reported.

The Record is in receipt of a let
ter from H. F. Clement. owner of
the OH ranch on Flatwillow,
in which he asks US to correct the
statement made several weeks ago
that he paid $4,000 per acre for an
isolated tract of 40 acres at public
land sale. The fact is he paid only

same tract being $500. The tract
lis not worth much for agricultural
purposes, and $50 per acre would
