6935 AUTOS
NOT ON TAX LIST

Almost seven thousand automobiles
in the state of Nevada did not pay a
property tax last year according to a
report just made public by the Ne
yada department of highways, which
calls attention to the alleged delin-
quency of the various county asses
sors in this respect. OF the 15,600
cars in the state, it says, 6535 were
never placed upon the tax rolls. BY
reason of this, according to the de-
partment, the state and its. commune
ties failed to receive taxes upon prop
erty worth $3.50 900. entailing a tax
loss of s69.350
In Douglas county 524 motor ve-
hicles were registered with the secre-
tary of state in 1923, yet only 800 ap-
peared on the tax roll of this county.
With the exception of Washoe and
White Pine county, this is the highest
percentage of evasion of motor taxa
tion in Nevada.
Clark, Pershing. Washoe and Storey
counties have the worst records In
this respect, the report says. In Clark
county only thirty-four per cent OF
the licensed motor vehicles were as
sessed for taxation, in Pershing thirty
six per cent, in Washoe, forty-seven
per cent, and in Storey, forty-eight
per cent.
One county. Mineral. actually col
lected taxes upon more cars than took
out licenses In that county 209 cars
took out lincenses but 2l2 were placed
upon the tax rolls by the assessor.
The department reports that cars
for which licenses were issued by the
state escaped property taxation In the
various counties as follows:
Churchill. 5i4; Clark, 743: Douglas.
1874; Elko, 499; Esmeralda, 8; Eu-
reka, 9s; Humboldt, 343; Lander, l50.
Lincoln, ia; Lyon, 1856; Nye, 1863;
Ormsby, III; Pershing. 3O4; Storey,
169; washoe. 2599; White Pine. $40.
According to the report the number
of cars taxed, in proportion to those
licensed, was as follows:
Churchill. 81 per cent; Clark. "a per
cent; Douglas. "A per cent; Elko, &c
per cent, Esmeralda, 9S per cent; Eu-
