Net Gain

Most of the gain in table value
was due to increased utilities, which
are in the 40 per cent class. Public
utilities and railroads are included.
Agricultural products on farms,
and solvent credits, showed a large
increase in assessed value but only
a 7 per cent taxable value.
The assessed value of livestock is
about the same as last year. Sheep
showed a large decrease, but cattle
were up.
The big loss in value of merchan-
disc was due to reduced stocks of
refined sugar.
The motor vehicle increase was
due to new trucks.
Although the assessed value went
up more than a million dollars, the
taxable value increased only $780,
900. That is explained by the taxa
