found after careful investigation, that
certain lands in Douglas, Pershing
and Churchill counties are not prop
erly equalized with Lyon county.
though the conditions on certain class
es of lands within the boundaries of
the counties named as very similar.
In order to place these counties on as
near an equal footing as possible it
was recommended:
First: That the valuation of 567S
acres of Douglas county arabic lands
be increased from $3.50 to S25 per
acre. This will make total increase
of s90,StS in the rolls, and make Doug
las acre valuation of this class of land
compare favorably with the s25.
valuation of tn same class of lands in
Lyon Pershing and Churchill coun-
ties.
Second: That 1890 acres of Doug
las county grazing land be raised from
$2.62 per acre to the s5.75 average
grazing land valuation of Lyon, Per-
shing and Churchill counties. and thus
add $41.69 to the property rolls.
| Third: That an increase of $222,-
I 566 be effected by fixing valuation
of $3.50 per acre on lands no higher
assessed in townships l3 and Il, range
s and townships l3 and II in range
10. estimating total of S0.6i0 acres
to be assessed at $3.50 an acre.
Fifth: Raising 6931 acres of PERISH
ing county pasture land from $10.52
to $1S.13 per acre-the average of SIM
liar Lyon county lands, and making
an increase of $51,745.

country improvements in the state.
making an increase of $574. .233 over
their present valuation

made on the assumption that the
banking ommittee's proposed in

states assessed valuation, leaving a
total of s5,465,312 to be raised on pri-
yately owned lands having total val
uation of s30,S31 1886.

crease would give the following valu-
alton per acre on the different classes
of lands:
