AZ. Do the records show that
1859 cattle were mortgaged in Bing-
ham county on which no assessment
was levied and no taxes paid? See
below.
49. Do the records show that 227,-
500 head Of sheep were mortgaged

A. Do the records show that 1856
head of horses were mortgaged in
Bingham county on which no assess
ment was made and no taxes paid?
The records show that a great
amount of livestock, especially herds
and flocks, were mortgaged, and not
assessed at full number or not as
sessed at all, but some of these herds
were ranged in two or more counties
and mortgaged in all the counties
they ranged in. Some of them were
mortgaged two or more times, and
such Implications would not belong
in the totals as published. Some of
the animals, especially sheep, might
be dead soon after being mortgaged,
and the whole mortgage record
would be more or less unsatisfactory
as a basis. for assessing, but
The fact remains that when the
mortgages appeared on the reception
book in the county clerks office, that
was sufficient notice to the assessor
to enable him to find the stock and
make such assessment as was right
and just, and by absolutely disre-
garding 1t, this county has lost on
herds and flocks that We're either
not assessed at all or were assessed :
for the full year in other counties |
when Bingham county was entitled |
70 part OF the years taxes.
