new VALUATION OF
STATE EXPECTED TO
SHOW An INCREASE

Tile new valuation of the state for
the years 1923 and 1924, the revis-
ion of which the Board Of State
Assessors has just completed, will
undoubtedly show an increase over
that Of 1920. This is the opinion of
the board. contrary " a newspaper
report Saturday morning indicating
that the new valuation might show a.
falhne OF Two years ago the val
nation of the state amounted TO
S637 .iU3 1873. hat IL is impossible TO tell
whether the new valuation will cx-
cccd this until the tabulation has
been rlade for The report 10 the Gov
ernor and Council.
II N expected that the personal
property valuation may be little
less than that of 1920 owing to the
taking out Of the bank stock and the
dccreciaton inNthe value and number
az live stock in the State Then
again. the lower prices of automo-
bilcs will make a difference. In
most every instance the value OF
livestock in 1929 was a decrease from
that in 1919. and it is probable that
the new valuation will also show
decrease from that Of 1920. In 1920
there were 1868 less horses in the
state than in 1919: 1927 less sheep.
1851 less colts. and HIS less cattle.
The board believes. however, that
the decrease in personal property in
she new valuation will Me more than
offset by the increase In the real eS-
tate valuation. New property in
Portland. Lewiston. Auburn and
other cities will add materially to the
real estate valuation. Reports to
the board show that a good deal of
damage to real estate has been done
by the bud moth. Cha.. man c. S.
