chant will have an opportunity to
work out his own ideas in window

POWERLINE TO BE
OPERATING SOON

Survey work on the new power
line to be built by the Tucson Gas
g. Electric Company, connecting No
gales and Tucson, Is scheduled to
get under way this week.
The new line, which will cost in
the neighborhood of between $45,-
600 and $4,000, will be a 3 phase
copper line on 40 foot poles, $4,000
volt. At that voltage it will have a
capacity of about 1000 kilowatts.
The line will be erected as quickly
as possible and is expected to be
completed and in operation in
about 80 days. It's main purpose is
to increase the capacity of the No
gales plant of the Public Utilities
Consolidated Corporation and will
benefit both Nogales, Arizona, and
Nogales, Sonora. There is no ques-
ton but what it is going to be an
advantage from every angle.
The Tucson company will con-
struct the line to the city limits of
Nogales and the Public Utilities
will pay monthly installments on
that portion of the line from the
Santa Cruz County border to No
gales. It is rental proposition for
the exclusive right of the line from
the Santa Cruz-Pima county line

REVALUATION OF PROPERTY
BY TAX COMMISSION SHOWS
BOTH INCREASES AND CUTS
Assessed Valuation Of Some Nogales
Property Giuen Big Raise By
State Tax Board

The assessed valuation on some
Nogales property has been increas-
ed and some decreased as a result
of revaluations made in this county
by the state tax commission in ac-
cordance with a law enacted year
ago by the legislature.
Harry v. Farrior, Santa Cruz
assessor, is not responsible for the
changes in assessments, and is sit
uated firmly behind his prerogative
to announce that he can in no way
aid the protestor who will undoubt-
edly object at having his property
valuation so increased in the high
er percentages.
The Santa Cruz county board of
supervisors will sit as a board of
equalization early in June at which
time it is indicated, large numbers
will carry their protests before it.
Assessor Farrior said, however.
that in his opinion, the taxpayers
will pay about the same amount or
less in taxes this year, as last, in
spite of the new valuations, pro-
viding the revaluation is assessed
correctly in all counties throughout
the state, and no one county is hurt
more than any other. This should
apply with exception Of instances
where property was increased in
value in startling amount, he av-
erS.
Made BY State
The property revaluation has
been made by the state commits
sioners in the past few months,
who have carried on their work
throughout the state.
The revaluations will have a
mountainous effect on claims for
tax exemption, as specially affect
ing ex-service men and widows.
This, because many pieces of pro-
perty now valued below $1,000, on
which exemption can be claimed,
will have their valuations boosted
with varying and probably high
percentages.
The following shows few of the
increases and reductions made on
Nogales property:
Brickwood Hotel, lot, increased
from $4O,705 to $45 $50.
Brickwood Hotel, improvement, in
