LIVESTOCK VALUES
SET FOR 1880 TAX
BY STATE BOARD
SPECIAL SCHEDULE RECON-
MENDED FOR ASSESSMENT OF
CATTLE, SHEEP, HOGS, ETC.

County Assessor w. H. Gebo has
received assessment values on live
stock for the year 1880. The SEIZED
ule has been set by the state board Of
equalization and covers cattle, sheep
hogs and horses, as well as other mis-
cellaneous livestock. The schedule
follows:
! CATTLE Beef cattle to be asses
sed at market price.
Coming yearlings, not less than
$500.
Coming 2-year-olds, $500. Il.
Stock cows, $500. &C.
3-year-olds, and stock bulls, $4,000
Pure bloods, not less than $1,000.
Dairy cows, $4,000 =.
| SHEEP Coming yearlings, $500
Coming to coming 5-year-olds
$1,000
Other sheep $500.
Grade Rams, $1,000
Purebred, $4,000.
HOGS-At market price on first
Monday of March.
| HORSES-W Work, and mules, $40
Range horses, to be left to judg-
ment Of assessor.
Z. MISCELLANEOUS - Fox, $500
Bees, $500.
All other taxable animals left to
judgment of assessor.
The state board of equalization has
recommended for use in 1880 by the
county assessors of Montana, the
above schedule of minimum valua :
tons, with special attention directed
to discrepancies in the number of
livestock as reported by the state de-
partment Of agriculture and as listed
on the assessment rolls.
The board arrived as it's minimum
valuations by taking an average of
the recommendations of assessors to-
gether with the opinions of livestock
owners and organizations. The COM
munications sent to assessors reads
in part 1T has been hoped that con-
ditions would justify some increase
this year However, such is not the
case. On the other hand, the wool
and mutton market has compelled a
reduction IN the sheep values and we
might suggest a loss in assessed val
uations Of over $4,000,00O."
"While the figures of the state
agricultural department." the letter
of the board states, "are something
of an estimate, they are founded on
very dependable information, and
even though we make some allow
ance, we are forced to admit the diff
ference bears out the opinion gener-
ally held, and admittd to some ex-
tent by assessors and commissioners,
in that too many livestock owners do
not make a 100 per cent return"
