ceived from the state At that time.

tain the county government for next

ty board Of equalization last week. Pro-
tests were received from taxpayers

sion that their assessments had been
raised 20 per cent. The county asses
sor had lowered the assessments ap-
proximately 20 per cent. decreasing
the county valuation approximately q
million and half dollars. The COM

which taxes were collected last year

tion on land and approximately 100000
from live stock. In addition 156.O0(
acres Of land went on the tax rclls
this year for the first time. The de.
crease in the valuation Of live stock
was caused by lower assessment fol

only a small percentage CT the total
While the original assessment was
lowered on both live stock and LAND

had been turned over to the cfftce Of
the county clerk, the 20 per cent re-
duction was ordered restored to tht
