Commissioner WILL
NOT RAISE VALUES
COUNTY BOARD VOTES TO IG-
MORE ORDERS OF STATE
EQUALIZATION BODY

Refusal to comply with the state
board Of equalizations order demand
ing that certain property in this
county be raised in valuation will be
the policy of the board Of commits
sioners for San Miguel county This
was determined upon at the regular
meeting of the board of county com
missioners this morning, when a re-
solution was passed placing the com
missioners on record as refusing to
raise the valuations on such classes
Of property the value of which they
are allowed by law to fix.
1t is understood the county asses
sor will refuse to make the raises in
valuation Of other classes of proper
ty demanded by the state board of
equalization. It is the intention Of
the commissioners, it is understood,
to resist all attempts on the part of
the equalization board to force them
to make the raises in valuation. The
commissioners contend that they have
been given the power to fix certain
valuations, and the state board has no
right to change their figures. They
also maintain that the property own
ers Of the countp have given the val
uations Of their possessions at what
they believe to be their actual value,
AS those figures are given under
Las Vegas optic., 1913-11-04

oath, the commissioners are Of the
belief that the board of equalization
is expressing supreme confidence in
it's ability as an appraiser when it
presumes to raise the figures.
Here is schedule OF the raises
demanded by the equalization board:
Agricultural lands, 80 per cent;
grazing lands and Improvements, rs
per cent; timber lands, 10 per cent;
city and town lots and improvements,
20 per cent; carriages and wagons.
20 per cent; saddles ana harness, 20
per cent; merchandise, Is per cent;
furniture, 20 per cent; watches and
clocks, SO per cent; jewelry, 100 per
cent; musical instruments, 80 per
cent; all other property, so per cent
Present at the meeting this morn
ing we're a number of prominent men
of Las Vegas, all of whom stated they
would give their hearty support to
the commissioners in their determine
tion to resist the demands of the
board of equalization. They com
mended the commissioners for theiI
stand. Among these men were
Charles Ilfeld, Thomas Ross, William
Springer, w. P. southard, Hallett
Reynolds, Robert ]. Taupert and DR.
J. NJ. Cunningham.
The commissioners, in making III
the county tax levy, provided for {
levy Of mills for road purposes. This
was done at the request of the coun
/ ty road board, which has been work
ing in harmony with the commission
/ ers in improving the highways of the
county. It is believed this levy viii
furnish fun which can be used t.
great advantage in making San Mi
gue1 county known all over the state
as the county possessing the best
thoroughfares.

1918 TAX LEVY is
NOT MADE
LARGER
in SPITE OF INCREASE IN STATE
LEVY, COMMISSIONERS HOLD
DOWN TAXATION

In spite of the fact that the tax levy
for state purposes has been increased
twice since 1911, the property owners
of San Miguel county, owing to the
careful business Judgment Of the
county commissioners in administer
ing the affairs of the county, will
pay taxes this year upon the same
total levy that has been in use for
the past three years. This announce
ment was made at the meeting Of the
commissioners this morning.
When it is considered that the
state levq has increased from ten
mills in 1911 to 1850 mills in 1918,
lit will be seen that the county com
missioners deserve considerable cred
it for being able to prune down coun-
ty expenses to such figure that the
total levy has not been increased.
Every cent of the money collected
for county purposes has been used to
advantage. with the result that there
has been no waste and the oounty's S
finances are in excellent shape. In
addition to meeting its fixed expense
the county has been able to build new
bridges and make other improve
ments with the money available from
Its levies.
Following is the levy for 1913;
For state purposes, 1850 mills, foi
geenral county purposes, 3 mills; foI
court fund, l mill; for general schooI
fund, 8 mills; for interest, mills:
for road fund, mills; for bridges
4.9O mills; for camino real bridge
10 mills, for court house and jail re
pairs, 80 mills; for wild animal boun
ty, so mills In East Las Vegas tht
following items are added city pur
poses, 1850 mills; for schools, Il
mills; for city certificates, 30 mills
The total levy for East Las Vegas is
therefore, $3.50 mills, the same figure
that has been utilized for the pas
three years For the town of Las We
gas the total levy for this year il
$3.50 mills, the following being added
to the state and county levies: CITY
purposes, 10 mills; schools, 20 mills
4 AS the levies for schools, city pur
poses and city certificates have beer
the same each year for the past three
4 years, one who wishes to make a com
parison of the levies of 1911, 191.
and 1918 has but to add the figures
given above to the state and county
leyies for those years to ascertain thu
totals for East Las Vegas and La
