Assessor Wilson Forced
To YieldinF Fight Against
State Tax Commission

The controversy of the state
tax commission with numerous
county assessors over the increase
in valuations which the commits
sion directed to be made several
months ago probably will be closed
within the next few days. Attor-
ney General Farrar said this morn
ing he expected Zeb j. Wilson,
assessor of Rio Grande county, to
capitulate without further trouble
and complete the roll of counties
in which the state has been sue
cessful in enforcing its demands.
OF all those who at first refused to
heed the commissions directions,
Wilson is the only one who has
held to his position.
The assessors own valuation
upon property in his county was
$7,79S,97O, to which the commits
sion added $l,l7O,2OO, making
total of $S,969,170, which Wilson
was directed to extend on his
books. The assessor said he thought
the valuation as increased by the
commission excessive and refused.
The commission then presented
the matter to the attorney general
for adjustment.
The latter said this morning he
believed it would not be necessary
to enter into further litigation.
Several suits involving similar dis
putes in other counties have al
ready been brought and decided in
the states favor Denver Times
of Wednesday.

Ever since the method of sub
irrigation was supposed to be dis
covered in this valley, there has
been more or less of controversy
among farmers as to the relative
benefits and results obtainable as
between the systems of sub-irriga-
ton and flooding. A case in point
has just been called to our atten-
tion. Mr.. Notfsinger, who lives
north and east of Center land, by
the way, this district is not consid-
cred the best), experimental with
both systems of irrigation this last
summer, on contiguous lands on
his ranch, with this result: Mr..
Noffsinger says he flooded the land
with less than one third of the
amount of water that it took to
subirrigate the other piece of land
and that he harvested four times
the amount OF product from the
flooded land that he obtained from
the subirrigated piece. And there
are others.

Motor-Driven Fire
Apparatus Wanted By
Monte Vista Council

AS result of the plan proposed
by Fire Chief Alternately, CON-
mittee has been appointed by the
city council to investigate the prac-
ticability of purchase of the old
Powell automobile and rigging it
up as hose cart and as motive
power for the fire engine and other
apparatus. The plan as outlined
seems perfectly feasible. 1t is
proposed to do away with the pres
ent hose cart by placing the hose
upon the auto and couple the en-
gine and hook and ladder truck to
the machine. When arriving at a
fire we'll, the engine is uncoupled
and the motor proceeds with the
laying of hose. The car would be
kept in readiness in the engine
house and when an alarm is turned
in one or two men could get the
apparatus under way.
The car in question is equipped
with sixty-horse power engine,
which is nearly new and may be
purchased for about $500.
With such an arrangement the
delay in waiting for someone with
car or in taking the equipment
by hand would be obviated, and q
lower insurance rate should follow
on account of the material differ.
ence in fire protection.
