Investigation Shows Wide Dissimi
larity of Assessments In Various
Counties of Nevada
Continued from
the government at such price for the
purpose of reclaiming and putting them
under water for settlement purposes. It
was further made to appear from the
discussion that agricultural lands
throughout Douglas county, of which
there are 15,550 acres assessed, would
range in sale value from $200 to $250
per acre, whereas the average assess
ment valuation of same amounts to
only $62,50 per acre. In this connection,
however, the member of the board from
Douglas county was able to show that
Douglas county was not alone and that
the lands in other counties were also
undcrassossed. This broadened the dis
cussion and there was, therefore,
brought into the issue the question of
land canalization from a statewide i
standpoint. t
In this behalf the board, by resolution,
brought in Special Appraiser H. S.
Pohe, who has been employed by the
Tax commission during the past sum
mer, for the purpose of securing the
sale and mortgage values of lands and
other properties throughout the various
counties within the state, in order that
an actual comparison may bejnade with
the assessment valuation for the pur
pose of equalization. Upon examina
tion by members of the board, Mr.
Pohe showed that by comparison, the
land assessment valuations with the
sales values recorded in various coun
ties were as follows:
In Douglas county, where thirteen
sales have been checked, the land as
sessment valuations were shown to be
J8.94 per cent of said sale values, com
pared with which said property is sup
posed to be assessed at 90 per cent of
its full cash value.
.In Washoe county where fifty-eight
sales were checked it was shown that
the assessment valuation was only
33.38 per cent of said sale values.
In Churchill county, where fifty-four
sales have been checked, it was shown
that the assessment valuation amounted
to 40J5 per cent of said sale values.
In Ormsby county, where five saJ.es
have been checked, the assessment valu
ation amounted to 43.07 per cent of said
sale values.
In Storey county, where five sale
values were checked, the assessment
valuation was shown to be 45.34 per
cent of said sale values.
As to the relationship of the assess
ment to the mortgage values, on which
the loans ordinarily do not exceed 50
per cent of the full cash sale values, on
which the loans ordinarily do not ex
ceed 50 per cent of the full cash sale
value of the property mortgaged, the
following showing was made by Spec
ial Appraiser Pohe:
In Douglas county, the assessment
valuation amounted to 46.42 per cent of
the mortgage value covering twenty
nine different pieces of property; or if
computed on the- full cash value, the as
sessed value would be only 23.21 per
cent, instead of the 90 per cent assess
ment basis as required by law.
In Washoe, the assessment valuation
amounted to 58.03 per cent of the mort
gage value covering thirty-one pieces
of property, or when taken at the full
cash value, an assessment ratio of 29.01
per cent, instead of said 90 per cent
basis.
In Churchill, the assessment value
was shown to be 69.97 per cent of the
mortgage value covering thirty-six
pieces, of property, or when taken at
full cash value, an assessment ratio of
34.98 per cent instead of said 90 per
cent basis.
In Elko county, from data put in evi
dence by the Central Pacific Railway
company before the Nevada Tax com
passion in the fall of 1918, for the pur-

pose of proving that its railroad prop
erty was assessed at 90 per cent of its
full cash value and that it should not j
be further equalized upward until oth
er property was properly assessed, it
was shown that the assessed valuation
of lands amounted to 62.74 per cent of
the sale values.
In Esmeralda county, it was shown
that the assessed valuation was 51.02
per cent ot the sale value. i
In Lyon county, it was shown that the
assessed valuation was 46.32 per cent of
the sales values. j
The board considers the sales-mort- .
gage data which is being investigated
by Appraiser Pohe of the highest value.
There is also a well-defined sentiment
among the members of the board that
an appropriation should be provided by
the legislature in a sum sufficient to
appraise all of the lands of the state
and settle the question of land valua
tion for the future.
Following the submission of the afore-

... . T . . i
rtiriieinn there wat a strontr nesire i
manifested by the members of the board j
, , , ,
to proceed to a thorough and compre
hensivc equalization of land values
throughout the state at large. In order
to make the investigation comprehen
sive and afford a basis upon which to j
start, a resolution was adopted provid
ing that the counties of the state be di
vided into three subdivisions and that
the members of each be constituted a
committee for the purpose of investigat
ing and reporting back to the board as
a whole as early as possible during the,
present week, with a recommendation
as to how the valuation of lands should
ne regtuatea in oraer to bring about
fair equalization. The state was sub
divided according to the apparent re
sources, development and value of each
... . , .
section, considering production, climate
, .. .... ,
ai;u avauamiiiy oi water resources, ine
subdivisions are as follows :
1. Pershing. Churchill, 'Douglas,
Lyon and Washoe counties.
2. Humboldt, Elko, Eureka. Lander
and White Pine counties.
3. Storey, Ormsby, Mineral, Nye. Es
meralda, Lincoln and Clark counties.

place during the week was that cover
111
ing bank assessments, when the Wa- j
shoe County bank's assessment was pre- i
sented to the board by G. H. Taylor, its I
cashier. Mr. Taylor complained that
his bank was over-assessed when com
pared with the assessment of other
banks and. among other things, brought
into comparison the assessment of other
classes of property which included land
assessment. In this behalf, it was his
-pinion that, from his experience in the
banking business, land values were not
fairly equalized upwards to the same
percentage of their fair cash value with
those of town property and of banking
property and other classes of property
which were available and could be
measured upon the basis of their invest-
ment and earnings, and which, by law,
were required to be reported annually,
In other words, the inference to be
drawn from the gentleman's testimony
was that it was practically impossible
for all of those classes of property
which are required by law to submit
annual reports of their investment and
earnings to escape their fair share of
taxation, whereas land, livestock and
other classes of property which are not
required by law to render a report of
their investment and earnings are in a
position to escape their fair percentage
of taxes.
From Appraiser Pohe's report it is in
teresting to note that Mf. Taylor's con
clusion that lands are underassessed
when compared with town property is
mm n U H . .
borne out by the fact that the sales data
recorded shows the assessment value of
134 pieces of property in Reno is 61.41
per cent of their sale value, compared
with which the assessment of fifty-eight
ranches sold in Washoe county is only
33.38 per cent of their sale value.
Another important hearing which was
held during the week covered .the fair
assessment valuation of the railroad
lands owned by and taxable to the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad company. It was
shown that these lands are, at the pres
ent time, largely without water and of
small agricultural, grazing and mineral
value, practically all of the better lands
having been sold, and that the rental
value of the holdings is approximately
33J-5 per cent of the annual taxes paid
toward the support of the state and
county governments. In this behalf, it J
was made to appear advantageous to
t have these lands held in private owner
ship and taxable, instead of being held
by the government free from the ?150,
000 in taxes which the railroad pays
thereon towards the support of the gov
ernment within the state of Nevada.

sections of land adjoining the odd-numbered
sections held by the railroad,
there' is unlimited government land
which can be taken up at a cost of not

average assessment value of $2.00 per
acre it was shown that large tracts of
these railroad lands were of very small

Companies of the seven states in the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District have
ordered nearly 100,000 hand grenades
which they will give free to purchas

nades are expected to arrive at the Fed
oral Reserve Bank in San Francisco
from Washington within the next
tr.irty days, tut owing to probable
freight delays, no exact date of arrival
can be given.
These hand grenades which the War
Department had on hand when the ar
mistice was signed, all loaded with
TNT to bomb the Germans out of their
machine gun nests and dugouts, have
been turned into savings banks by
simply taking out the TNT and cutting
a coin slot in the side. Save for those
alterations they are regular hand gre
nades known as the Mills Bomb No. 11.
As souvenirs of the Oreat War they
have been sought after avidly In the
East, where one enterprising firm,
which managed somehow to get a few
of them, put them on the market at a
dollar each. They sold like not cakes.
