ASSESSMENT LAW OF 1919

Since Col. Crabtree has made The
assessment law enacted by the gen
eral assembly Of 1919 the paramount
issue in the campaign for Demo
cratic nomination for governor this
year, it is only reasonable to ask
that the people give careful study tt
the operation Of the act. The in.
creased assessment will decrease the
rate as set forth herein and the
figures are applicable to this county
according to a statement Of the State
statistician.
Under this act the legal duty is i'm
posed upon the county courts of the
several counties Of the State to fix
the county rate of taxation. The law
in this particular has not been chang
ed, but remains the same as it has
been for MANY wears.
In view Of the equitable assess
ments which will be effected, under
the act Of 1919, having for its pur-
pose The equalizati0ns of assessments
Of property, thereby placing the bur
den of taxation Justly and equally on
all taxpayers, the rate to be fixed for
i9ll county purposes will be very ma
terially reduced.
The State tax rate for all nurnoses
on the old assessment has been 70
cents on every hundred dollars. On
the new assessment it will be about
% cents on the one hundred dollars
if the assessment as made by the
county tax assessors are substantially
approved by the county boards of
o0nali7atioN. The tax rate for all
county PURPOSES in Upton county last
wear was S245. making total county
end State rate Of S3.15. Under the
now assessment and by application
If nroner economy, the tax rate for
all county purposes for Upton county
for this wear should not exceed 43
cents if the county board Of equaliza
ton substantially supnorts the value
# property as fixed by proof. This
viii make total State and county
vefe for linton countv not exceeding
SO cents on the one hundred dollars.
