LAW
WILL ADD To
VALUATION

The completion of the High Line
canal. when water is turned on the
land under the project, and that land
assumes real and not merely
nominal value, will increase the as
sessable valuation of Mesa county by
more than two million dollars by
reason of the reclamation homestead
bill fathered by Congressman Edward
T. Taylor and signed last Saturday
by President Taft. II is believed that
about 100000 will be added to the
assessable valuation fthe county
next year by the bill; but, of course,
this Is not relatively large sum and
will not show in a reduction of the
fax levy. However. the homesteads
which can be assessed under the pro-
visions of Taylor's bill have at pres
ent only an intangible value as the
land is non-produetive and will he
until water is turned on under the
project.
The local assessors office look on
the law as means of greatly in
Crcasing the valuation of the county
on their books and probably making
distinct reduction in the taxes paid
by the people.
In Montrose county, where the re-
clamation project is nearer compile
tion than the High Line, the effect
of the bill will be felt even more
than in this county. The number OF
homesteads which will become as
sessable is much larger and the other
favorable features of the bill will
show more clearly than in Mesa coun-
ty,

Speaker Byrd has stated to the

to devise would deprive some OF tho

The manner OF constituting the com
