EQUALIZATION Board
Fixes Valuation

The Jackson County board of
equalization have concluded their
labors and county auditor Bernau
has certified up the real and per-
sonal property OF the county to
the State Tax Commission in an
amount OF So, 1913, $4,000. OF this
figure, S2,45o, 26I is the value of
the real estate and S734,I25.oo is
that of the personal property.
These figures do not include any
property owned by the Milwaukee
or Northwestern railroads, nor the
Telephone companies operating
within the county, as they will be
assessed by the state tax commiss-
ion, and when this is done our
valuation is expected to reach All
amount OF over five million dol
lars.
Below we give you table OF
the different classes of property
and the value as fixed by the board
of equalization.

Farm lands and structures. No.

Implanted land within corporate
limits, including structures. No.

average, per acre SI4.3I.
City or town lots, including
structures, No. 1921; value SI75,

Hogs, all ages, No. 64I. value
81, ,oo8, average So. 80, and all other
personal property brings the value
of that class to S634, 90.
The Press man feels that the
equalization board did a good job,
their figures on both real and per-
sonal property, comparing very
favorably with the returns as made
by the state tax commission for
this section last year. We may
receive small increase upon our
farm lands at the hands of the tax
commission, and in case we do our
total valuation will not exceed that
of last year more than a couple of
hundred thousand dollars.
