met Rolls for year of 1921, which
work is footing, cross total, recap
and grand recap, of six large assess
ment rolls, says Homer E. Estes, Dis
trict Clerk, flour country rolls, and
two city rolls), and which work has
been summed UP by the county audi
tor since the completion of the equali-
Zation of said assessments by the
County Board of Equalization, same
being completed ahead of schedule
time as the laws require that this
work be completed and forwarded to
the State Board of Equalization, by
the First Moday of August, and on
the second Monday Of August the
State Board meets to equalize the as
sessment of the entire State Board
meet to equalize the assessment OF
the entire State between counties, and
which work is done by like classes OF
property, or by raising or lowering
certain valuations to bring same up,
or lower valuations, to a certain
standard set by the State Board; it is
also the duty of the State Board to
assess all Public Utilities, such as
Railroads, Telephone & Telegraph
Lines. and Electric Transmission
systems.
The valuation as reported for this
class of property for the year of 1920
was ,O50,238, and for 1921, as
shown by the itemized list below, IS
the total of S17,535, ,546, or decrease
in valuation for the current year OF
$514,692, the heaviest reduction ap-
pearing in the item of lumber, Whlch
shows a decrease in valuation this
year of s256,711, and this after the
county board made raise OF SSS,2Oo,
from the original assessment; the
next heaviest drop in valuation IS the
item of Timber Lands, S87 7,3O6 de-
crease showing here, however this IS
to be expected from year to year as
the timber is gradually being removed
from these lands, and in this way the
valuations will naturally decrease,
and owing to this fact it may be that
Latah County will show very little m
crease in total valuation of assessed
property for several years to come.
The valuation placed upon Public
Utilities of Latah County. for the
year of 1920 was the grand total OF
81. .3O2, ,531. and this amount added to
the valuation Of the Real Property
Rolls. and plus the amount of the
Personal Property Rolls vet to be
made up. and which totaled the sum
