Of taxes paid BY diAssent psrtiss.
There will be however, no greet in
crease in the amount Of tases paid
by anyone in this county. Assessor
Thomas says that the greatest in
crease will come on the ranches and
the property in this city In no csss
will this increase be great because
the levy is 40 much less In making
the levy the commissioners con-
sidered the fact that there was no
much money to be raised, and the
fact that the valuation IVES made on
q full cash basis. 1t is estimsted
that in this county there will be BE-
tween SIX and seven thousand dollars
more in taxes for county purposes.
This increased amount is needed for
the County High School fund and
the road fund The county will pay
about SIX hundred dollars more than
last year to the state.
According 10 the Denver levy
the Denver assessor must extend up
on his assessment rolls $l0l ,992, ,088.
However, contrary to certain reports
which have originated in Denver,
Denver county will pay the state
twenty thousand less than last year.
Assessor Thomas of this county says
that this increase which Denver has
shouldered upon herself is due TO the
levy made for county purposes.
Denver, he saws, refused 10 consider
the full cash valuation edict, and
made their levy ON on the old yalua-
ton. The result is that the Denver
county treasury will have more
money than is needed Whether
their levy can now be decreased is a
question. Assessor Tomas is Of the
opinion that the levy can be de-
creasd but not increased.
This decision, it is the general
opinion, will mean a great deal for
the state. Assessor Thomas believes
that it Is a great stride in straighten-
ing out the taxation tanele which
has been witnessed in this state for
a number Of years Whether this
will make any great change in the
amount received by the various ssate
institutions, is . question There
was . certain amount to be added in
any case. II the decision had been
