Board Ends Session

The state board of equalization ad-
journed Thursday night at ii o'clock
sine die. The closing hours were har.
ronious in the extreme.
A considerable portion Of the day
and evening was spent in the clearing
no of the protests that had been sub
mitted during the session.
For the particular purpose of insur-
ing tax commission jurisdiction under
the new law, the assessment value of
the Reno Water, Light and Power com
pany was increased from 100000 to
$1,000 900. IL is expected that these
people viii appear before the tax com
mission and clear up some accounting
which was not made clear in their pre-
stntations to the board of equaliza-
tion. 1t is questionable whether or not
the increased valuation viii be sus-
tanned.
The following livestock valuations
were determined upon for the 1916 as
scssment purposes,
Cattle, all classes, including calves
branded in 1915, $3S per head
Sheep, 81 per head. Hogs, 8 months
old or over, $S. Pigs, to s months
old, $3.50 per head.
Bees, $4 per stand. Chickens, 40
cents; turkeys, 81; ducks, go cents;
