IDAHO STATE
GENERAL LEVY
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
FIXED THE LEVIES FOR
YEAR 1915
Reduction Of s1s5,0O0 Over 1915 in
Sum to be Raised For All
Purposes

BOISE, Sept. 8. Especial 1.-The
state board equalization has definitely
fixed the general and special tax levies
for 1916 as follows: General levy to
meet state expenses, $565, 900; general
interest and sinking fund, $55,000;
public building fund and endowment
fund, $4,000. These levies represent
a total reduction from the levies of
1915 of $125,0O0 The 1915 general
levy was 100000. AS the 1916 levy
just made by the board is but $565, 900
there is reduction in this levy alone
of $135,000 to meet state expenses.
The general INTEREST," and sinking fund
levy in 1915 was $4,000 and this year
the board raised it $4,000. The 1915
public building and endowment fund
levy was $4,000 and this year the
board incraseed it $4,000 making the
total levy $4,000. The mill levy is
still to be worked out by the state aud
itor's department.
In equalizing railroad valuations
the board only made changes insofar
as the Oregon Short Line is concerned
in the branch lines. The Twin Falls
branch was reduced to $4,000 per mile,
the North Side branch to $4,000 per
mile. The Snake river belt line was
increased $1,000 per mile while the
valuation of the Yellowstone branch
was fixed at $4,000 per mile from
Idaho Falls to Ashton and from Ashton
to the Yellowstone national park to
$4,000 per mile.
The state auditors department is
now busily engaged working out the
mill levy after which the apportion-
ment by counties will be made show
ing the division of the equalization as
between them and establishing the
valuations of electric transmission
lines, common carriers, private car
lines, public utilities; the reductions
or increases for the various other
classifications of property, of timber,
agricultural, dry and waste lands and
of stock.
The state board of equalization
stands adjourned sine die. 1t COM
pleted it's work in shorter period this
year than it has for some years pass
ed. While it is generally conceded
that some classes of property are val
ued too high and some are too low,
members of the board believed that
they equalized as between them as
fairly as was possible under the cir
cumstances.
The general tax levy is the lowest
for years. Some doubt was expressed
by members today as to whether the
state expenses could be met within
the general levy as made but others
believe that they can and easily.
