Board of Supervisors in Session Yesterday Fix Rate For Co.,
 unty and State Taxation at One Cent Less Than Supposed
Lower Valuation Resultant from
 Increased Assessments Made
 By State Tax Commission Lowest in State Is COChise

The combined state and county tax rate for Cochise county this year will be ninety-four cents on the hundred dollars. This is one cent below the rate which the board of supervisors had anticipated and which was an nounced a week ago as the final rate. Gus Hickey, chairman of the board of supervisors, announced the final de- cision of the board on his return Co Bisbee from the meeting yesterday in Tombstone where the final action of the board was taken and when the rate was definitely established
 The one cent drop in the assess ment rate for the county was occas toned by change in the county rates fixed by the state commission sitting as state equalization body. In their ] sessions they decided that state taxes on range cattle should be raised three | dollars on the head. In addition they made several other changes which brings the valuation of the county so high as Ito reduce the county tax levy one cent each hundred dollars.
 This tax rate. as applied in this county is the lowest in the whole state It is also the lowest tax rate | that this county has ever seen. At l the same time the valuation of Co., chise county for the year is the larg- ! est in the county as we'll as the larg- est in the state Through their tax rate and their valuation Cochise cOun- ! ty lays claim to banner county and all honors in the state The county | has the lowest rate of taxation and at the same time the highest valua- 1 ton in the state.
 The total valuation of Cochise coun-
 ty for the year 1914l5 is in the neigh
 borhood of 94OOO0OO Levying on this a tax rate of ninety-four cents on the one hundred dollars. the board of supervisors will raise for the years ' expenses in the county in the neigh
 borhood of $34OO OOO, enough for the
 running of the county for the year , and for several long needed and much l anticipated improvements.
 The chief raise in the county yalua-
 tions was in the assessments laid
 against live stock on the ranges which were Assessed by the state tax com
 mission at a rate of S3 in advance Of
 that supplied by the county board of
 equalization In addition there were several changes made in the assess
 ments made against the corporations
 of the county, which added or oesract-
 ed slightly from the tax rolls, almost
 equalizing themselves in the long
 run.
 There was but one item which was
 not changed, where in the minds of
 many local men there should have
 been an alteration by the state tax
 commission in their sessions. This
 item is the grazing lands.
 In Cochise county and in the remain
 der of the southern part of the state
 grazing lands are assessed on the uni.
 form value of $3 an acre. In the
 northern part of the state, where tho ! Continued on Page Two).

Bisbee Naco Water Company
 Holdings in City Are Fixed at Much Lower Valuation When Evidence shown Is Excessive
SWartZ Brothers and lndepen-

 Are Reduced in Valuation Other ProtestantS Are Heard

At a meeting of the city council in which protests against the increase Of tax valuation were heard. the valua- ton of the Bisbee Naco Water com pany's holdings were reduced from the proposed S1OOOOO to $66,sOO for Bisbee property MT Reid, president of the water company. who took part in the proceedings contended that the Bisbee property was less than 20 per cent of the entire holdings which the corporation commissioner placed at S3O2.OOO. A long debate followed but owing to the difficulty in segregaung the Bisbee property from the entire plant nothing very accurate could be determined
 Swartz Bros. were granted a de crease from S4O,OOO to $2O,OOO owing 70 the fact that their assessment was made at the time of receiving a large shipment of merchandise for the sum ,mer trade and therefore was not a just valuation of their average stock. The Independent Fuel and Feed company was placed oR the same bas- is as the Bisbee Fuel and Feed com pany.
 , Several more complaints were heard but with the exception of one, the pro- testants were unable to produce evi dence substanuating their claims of excessive rates of valuation
