COUNTY AUDITOR COMPLETES
ABSTRACT OF ASSESSMENT
ROLL FOR YEAR OF 1921
STATE VALUES S35S,l2O,S03
Values in the State and Counties Must
Be Increased.

Brody, county auditor, shows total
assessed valuation in Boundary county
of real property and personal prop
erty of taxpayers who also own real
property in the county, of S3,3S9 ,S39.O0.
This is an increase of $95,479.00 over
the values of last year as equalized by
the state board of equalization. 1t is
quite possible that the state board
will reduce county valuations to an ex-
tent that the assessed valuation of the
county this year will not be as large
as it was last year.

S11,3 1850. Valuations the state over
must be raised this year, Governor
Davis said.
with taxing bodies hard pressed to
secure adequate income for running
expenses within the legal limit for
levies, there is but one thing to do
equalize the valuations upward. There
is some gain shown in the abstract
total, but some counties which we have
raised year after year are coming in
again with the same old low figures
They must come up. Other counties
are very high beca lse they must be
high to provide sufficient local rev.
enue For their own good rather than
to meet state needs the low ones must
be raised"
It is evident that the railroads and
other utilities corporations will make
strong fight for their conception Of
equal assessments. They are prepared
to make verbal arguments supported
by voluminous tables of figures that
in many counties of the state they have
been asked to beSr much more than
their share of the tax burden.
