figures in years to come.
The total valuation as prepared
for the inspection OF the state board
and conference is S404. 500. $3.50 or
an increase over the preceding year
OF nearly $29OO0,OOO-
Last year in the equalization OF
taxes by the state board as a direct
result of the state conference, the
assessment figures were raised So
100000 over the figures as prepared
by the divers counties. Whether or
not there will be an increase over
the valuation already prepared is a
matter open to conjecture.
While the inspection of the differ
ent assessment rolls represents the
main business before the conference.
still an important feature is the ser
les of hearings which will be given
various corporations and heavy tax
payers throughout the state. The
Santa Fe has already requested a
hearing and it is probable that this
will be set for this evening. The
conference is scheduled to be in ses-
sion just one week, and unless night
sessions are called for the different
hearings. the business may not be
concluded within the requisite time.
