by early Friday afternoon COM
pared with a normal of .2.06 in
ches, F1athead valley crops were
termed in excellent condition,
by County Agent Walt Maurit-.

bushels. The valley does not have
complete crop failures as exper-
fenced on the prairie.
Best yield of winter wheat last
year is believed to be the 60 bu-
shells to the acre of Wasatch on
the Creston form of R. w. Carr.
Of the 3,313,280 acres in Flathead
county, 100000 acres are consid-
cred to be in Flathead valley with
$4,000 acres in cropland, and the
rest pasture and timber.
Other principal crops in addition
to winter wheat include peas,
spring wheat, oats, barley and spe-
cialized crops such as strawber-
rieS.

Hungry Horse Will Ask
No Christmas Tree Bids

Bids will not be called this sum-
mer or fall for the cutting of
Christmas trees in the Hungry
Horse reservoir area, it was learn
ed Thursday.
Inspection of the reservoir area
by experienced Christmas tree
cutters has resulted in a report
to Paul A. Jones, Hungry Horse
project engineer that the smaller
trees are not particularly suited
for Christmas trees. The fast
growing evergreens are better
suited for posts and poles.
Flathead and neighboring Lin
coin counties ordinarily ship out
up to 21a million Christmas trees
each fall, and are among the ma
TONS principal suppliers.

'rIe-Budget Drafted;
Taxes Tend Upward

Flathead county commissioners
serving as the budget board We'd
nesday completed drafting of a
preliminary county budget for
1947-48. -
The commissioners also pass
on school district budgets which
are submitted to them.
Generally the recommended
departmental and fund budgets
Will receive up to 10 per cent
more money than they did last
year. Salaries of county officials
as provided by the last session
OF the legislature will be raised up
to 10 per cent.
Most of the increase in cost
OF county government will be met
by the increased revenues expec-
TED by the county from more peo-
pie and additional homes and bus
lnesses. Actually the mil levy for
county purposes may be lower.
Sharpest raise in local taxes
will be noticed in respect to
schools. The taxpayers last spring
decided to pay adequate salaries
to teachers, which will partially |
result in 10 to Is per cent in
,reases in school taxes.
Residents will find next year
hat taxes are higher just as are
wages, food, clothing and living
'osts now over year ago.
A detailed account of prelimin-
Try budget is scheduled for pub
ication in the Flathead Monitor,
he official county newspaper. AS
provided by law before adoption
# the final budget, a public hear
ng will be held in July.

| AS a part OF the question, he said
the joint group would consider both
the effect of the large tax-exempt
Federal land holdings here and the
fact that construction of additional
Federal buildings on "slum" areas
of the District has brought to the
city benefits from increased and
steady Federal payrolls.
The Joint inquiry also may de-
velop an examination of District
tax assessments. Mr.. Bates re-
vealed yesterday he had called on
District Tax Assessor Edward A
Dent to allow committee agents to
examine the basic records on Dis
trict property valuations.
Tax Valuations Less Elsewhere.
1t has been brought out that while
District law requires full value
assessments, legal valuations foI
tax purposes in other Jurisdictions
is far less. One report is that Vir-
ginia valuations are not more than
40 per cent of current market value
Assessors of the District, Vir-
ginia and other areas are reported
recently to have raised tax valua-
tions, but not to the full extent OF
present sales prices. Mr.. Bates de-
clared his fiat approval of the prac-
tice of assessors to keep tax valua-
tions somewhat below inflated
sales prices. He said he thought
this justified and noted that as
SCISSORS generally did not reduce
property values to the full depres-
sion level.
