pose Of tax reduction. All land values
for this year will be reduced 20 per

and true valuation Of $2.737,s73 and
grazing lands $3.5G0.541. the ror.ner
averaging $12 an acre and the latter

year.
Tax lists now being complied in the
cffice Of the county assessor carry the
20 per cent reduction in land values
over the year 1921. The assessor states
he is not using the land classification
only as reference at times especially
in cases Of new final certificates where
he is not familiar as to the value tina;
should apply to that particular trnc1
Of land.
All the tax lists wifi he mailed on,
soon after March g. and by using the
mailing system Z considerable expense
Of field deputies win be eliminated
Property owned on March 6 is the ha.
sis for computing this years taxation
