LANDS ON TAX ROLL
Means An Annual Revenue Of &ee, 900
In Taxes, Says State Auditor
Carl koaitzky.

Bismarck. N. D., March 21.-More
than half a million acres of new
lands, valued at approximately ST.
700 900, and which will produce an
annual revenue OF $685. 900 in taxes,
will be spread on the North Dakota
tax rolls for the first time in April,
states Auditor Carl Kositzky.
Almost 100000 acres OF new land,
SEQ $685. to be exact, already has be-
come available for taxation through
the proving up Of government home
steads in 1917. While North Dakota
Is not an infant state by any means,
IL is notable that only eleven OF the
states 81 counties failed to record
final proofs on homesteaders' claims
In 1917. The 'effete' counties were
Barnes, Cass, Foster, Grand Forks,
GriEgH, LalMOure, Nelson, Ramsey,
slope, Trail and Walsh. As old a
county as Richland, in the extreme
southeastern corner OF the state,
where land lie bringing Illinois and
Iowa prices, reported final proofs on
$50 acres.
Mckenzie was the banner home
stead county Of the state, reporting
final proof on los, 500 acres In 1917.
Mountrail reported 1920 acres;
Dunn, 24.151: Benson, 36,4s0; Bill
inFs, 23,309; Mclean, $4,000; Sioux,
1924, and Williams, 30,110. Towner
reported the smallest parcel Of home
stead land, 36 acres, and Cavalier
was a close second, with 40. The
average assessed valuation of all this
land Is $40. and the total added TO
the states taxable property in the
proving up OF claims in 1917 is 81,
ass. $50. The actual value Of this land
"a about 100000.
In addition to the homestead land.
Mr.. Kositzky estimates that at least
100. 600 acres of new land viii 20 on
the tax rolls through final payment on
school contracts or outright pur-
chases made at sales which are now
being held in several counties.
