With the assessment report return.
ed today for Wayne township, Rich
mond and Spring Grove, completing
the county, Indications are that the
increase in assessments in the county
will be $2,500,00O this year. This will
not be determined until after the for
ty-day session of the board of review
and the return OF report by the
state board of tax commissioners.
Wayne township, Richmond and
Spring Grove combined showed about
half of the anticipated gain. Gains
were made in Richmond and Wayne
township but loss of more than $11,-
900 in the personal property assess
ment in Spring Grove was shown.
The net loss was $500 in Spring
Grove.
Assessments Heavy.
The assessment in the county with
out corporations or banks is almost
as great as the total assessment last
year by local assessors. The 1914 as
sessment with corporations and banks
was $31,997, 100, and this year without
corporations and banks it is $31,577,-
345. The assessment of corporations
and banks will be completed by the
board or review before July 10.
To be added to the $31,577,345
shown today by the assessors books,
Is approximately 100000 for corpor-
ations and banks and $4,OOO,OOO for
railroads and other property assessed
by the state board of tax commission
ers. This would bring the total as
sessment to $3S,5OO.OOO. Last year it
was 35,S8O,00O. If the orders of the
assessors could have been followed
out and ten per cent increase been
made, the increase would have been
$3,5S0.O0O. or $1,OOO,OOO more than the
estimated gain this year.
Corporation personal property will
show gain this year of $4,000 in the
county over the total fixed by the
board of review last year. although
losses we're shown by many big cor
porauons. The M. Rumely personal
property was assessed $99, 900 lower
this year than the previous year, the
