Yesterday and this morning l.. F..
Adamson, a member of the state tax
commission and its secretary, met with
the county board of equalization and
assisted in making up new county
budget The total expense of maintain
ing the county government for the
coming year is estimated at $2S5, 300,
cf which amount $206, 100 must be rails
ca by direct taxation the balance com
ing from licenses, fines and miseella-
neous sources. To raise this amount
will require a county tax rate of $l.05
on 800 valuation, as against $1.037
heretofore fixed by the commissioners.
Will Probably Raise Assessment
Mr.. Adamson was seen at the Edo
rado this afternoon by a Silver State
representative, and when asked if he
thought Humboldt county's assessed
valuation will be raised by the tax
commission, replied:
at am of the opinion that Humboldt
eounty's assessed valuation will be
materially raised by the tax commis-
sion. However, this is my personal
opinion and / am but one of i've mem
hers.

utilities, the tax commission this year
raised those classes of propertv in
