CITY VALUATION
DROPS $4,000?

Because the assessed valuation OF
Lynden property has not yet been
computed at the courthouse, Mon
dav night the city council was un-
able to determine the exact amount
of the levy needed to carry on the
city business. The budget, carry
ing with it an estimated amount to
be raised of $6,858.48, was approx
eG by the council.
The county assessor estimates that
the va uation In Lynden will be re-
duced approximately $4,000. AS a
resu of this reduction. it is doubt
fcl if the city will be alb to raise
the ful $6,858.48 specified in the
budget. as the law will not permit a
levy higher than that of last year.
The assessors office will fix the
'evy as soon as complete figures are
compiled on loca' property.
No protests were made on The
budget Monday night, and it was
passed without much discussion.
A decrease in property va uations

;res compiled for the total assessed

valuation was $26,331.O91. while
this year it is $24.642.926.
The total assessab e valuation OF
railroad and telegraph property in
this county for 1915 is given al
$3,871.684, decrease of $159.53s
from the va uatiOn of $4,O31.222
given by the state tax commission
