Unforeseen Contingency fund. 5000
The appropriations show an in
crease of $4,000 over last year. Of
this amount, Mr.. Reese explained,
$6,500 was for election expenses
which will have to be met in the fall
of 1914, $1,000 is for q deputy in the
county assessors office, this official
having been paid out of the unfor-
seen contingency fund last year, and
$500 for the mothers compensation
act which has became law since the
last appropriations were made. The
water commissioners salary was rails
ed from 500 to 81 900. Outside of in
specting shipments of trees the board
considered the horticulturalists' posi-
tion one of rather limited scope, so
cut his salary to $500.
Assessor Chubb followed Commits
sioner Reese. When questioned to
the effect of the full valuation assess-
ment on Durango properties, he stat
ed that the total valuation of Du-
range property this year was $4.7I8,-
OFT. This lacks approximately 20
per cent of being three times what
the previous assessments have been.
This he considered was the correct
amount to cover the slump in valves
in the town within the past year.
While the surrounding country had
been increasing in value, town prop
erty had been decreasing. In other
words, Durango was reaching its
proper basis in values compared to
the district surrounding. 1t now rep
resents about one-third Of the coun-,
ty's wealth. Relative to our por-
tion of the state tax compared with
