TELEPHONE COMPANY'S
TAXES GET BIG BOOST

Last year the Moscow Telephone &
Telegraph Company paid $4,000 taxes,
its property being assessed at $4,000.
This was an error made in the office
of the state board of equalization and
it is understood it had been the in
tention to assess the property at $780,
600 but one cipher was omitted. This
year the property is assessed at $685.
759 and the taxes to be paid will
amount to S1324.01, or more than
$110 per month. Last year the levy
was Ala mills and this year it will
be 51.4 mills on the increased vaIua-
ton.
