Assessed Valuation Of State
Increased by Some
$13,000,000.
Levy YFORSTATE6l.2
Personal Property Rolls Ex-
pected to Boost Gross
Materially.

The total assessed valuation of prop |
erty in Idaho in 1920 will exceed by |
some S13,OOO,OO0 the valuation for
1919. says George w. Lewis, deputy |
state auditor, on completing the tabu- |
lation of the equalized assessment de |
termined by the state board OF equal
iZation.
Exclusive of returns on the personal
property rolls from the various coun-
ties, which win be received this month,
the total valuation is $46S, 730, ,491 30
The personal property rolls OF 1919
totalled e83, ,363, ,397 Al. If they show
no increase this year the combined
totals will be in excess Ct $502, 900 900,
says Mr.. Lewis.
All Tax Levies Lower.
Tax levies made by the board OF
equalization this year were lower i'll
every item not fixed by statute than
those of 1919 The total levy for state
purposes this year is 61.25 cents on
the 800, as compared with 1873 cents
last year.
The total sum raised by state taxes
last year was $3,676, 1852. The sum
which will be raised on the real valu-
alton for 1920. at the reduced rate,
will be $2,96S, 1859. Adding the sum
to be raised on the estimated personal
property valuations, Mr.. Lewis calcu-
lated that the total taxes for 1920 will
produce, in round numbers, $710,OOO
less than was raised year ago.
Board Was Thorough.
This is the saving to taxpayers eff
fected by the board of equalization In
In its session completed a short time
ago, according to Mr.. Lewis state
,ment.
81 have never known board OF
equalization to do its work as syS
tematically, consistently and wisely as
did the present board Mr.. Lewis com
mented. They went into details OF
every levy and threshed things out tt
a satisfactory conclusion.
The various levies for 1920 as esti
mated on the real property valuations
compared with the levies for 1919, ant
the amount now estimated to be rails
ed, are as follows:
