City's Growth
Reflected in
Assessments
MONEY AND CREDITS
BOOSTED; PROPERTY
TOTALS HIGHER

Growth and prosperity are re-
Elected in tax assessment figures
for Redwood Falls compiled by j.
Albert Johnson, assessor and ap-
proved by the city council.
Most decided increase noted
was in money and credits, the
figure. increasing from $201, $50 in
1886 to S23O,00O in 1887 and $780,
534 for 1888. The increase may be
partly attributed to more detailed
reports required this. year to nose
out a class of property which
VIGOROUSLY escaped taxation.
Real estate is assessed only once
in two years, the increase in act
ual value from 1886 to 1888 being
from S2,155,280 to $2,229,052
while personal property has adj
vanced from $257,916 assessed
value) in 1886 to 1862 ,254 in 1887
and S269,542 this year.
Value of property classed as
homesteads in the city jumped to
SLOT ,284 from $968,556 with the
building boom. Assessed at 25 per
cent of value, owners will pay
taxes on $685. Real property
other than the homestead class
increased in value from S1.167, 602
two years ago to $1,206,062 this
year. 1t is taxed on 40 per cent,
or $482.425
The current recession has been
blamed on increased inventories
over-buying-by merchants over
the country for winter and spring
sales. No such condition exists
here as. inventories were the low
est in several years on May 1, the
fact accounting for the small gain,
only S7,288, in assessed value of
personal property.
Among the personal property
items Mr.. johnson inventoried are
$256,804 worth of household goods
assessed at $64,201; bulk stations,
elevators, telephone equipment,
electric light lines and billboards
worth S139,575 and taxed on
$55,830; merchandise and mach
inery with full value of $448,-
