First Scale of Valua-
ticns Makes Total
Too High

Cameron county real estate and
other taxable property has shown
such a jump in ACTUAL value during
the past year, that the commission
ers' court of the county, sitting as
u board of equalization, has found
il necessary to cut their rate Of
valuations a little more than 16
per cent.
This announcement was made
following a session of the board
Monday, in which il was found that
the scale Of values being used
would bring the total valuation Of
the county to approximately S43,-
0O0 900, or $7000,0O0 more than is
required to meet the obligations
and expenditures Of the county on
the present basis.
A total valuation Of about $780,
100000 is desired by the county
court, this representing a raise Of
S6,O00,000 over the valuations for
last year.
The board during its session for
the past few days equaliZed proper
~ on the basis Of present values,
and on the scale recommended fol-
lowing a survey of the coulty by l..
q Brlen, retained by the court for
this purpose. 1t was found that
the new basis of valuations would
run the total far above what is re-
quired.
The work Of appraising property
has been going on for several
months, and is the first work Of
this kind done in the county for a
number Of years, since the last sur
vey was made by 0'Brien. II was
found in the survey that a large
amount Of land has been valued at
less than il should be. in COMPARE
son with other values. and the rais-
es in equaliZing the valuations Of
this land were instrumental in
bringing the total 70 the new large
figure.
The board will continue its work
for several days, hearing any COM
plants that may come in regarding
new values placed on property.
