Advt. COMMISSIONERS' PROGRAM CARRIES TRUE TO . FORM As Predicted by The Advocate Jos. R. Sharf) Turns Down Protests Against Increased Townsite Valuations. Tho Advocate advanced the sug gestlon lost week tbat Iho invitation sent to tho coal companies which had their assessed valuations raised by an action of the county commis sioners sitting as n board of equsll intlon a week ago Monday, was imply for the purpose of tho com missioners securing an opportunity to tell tho companies If they did not like It they could lump It. ThU was true, but only half the reason. Tho other half was that Commis sioner Sharp might havo a chance to mako on nnnrcholtlc speech ag ainst tho operating camps ot Car bon county. And he anado a dandy. To bo suro it was overburdened with tho most glaring absurdities and con tained Impoiwllilo theories that even ii Utopian socialist would hosltato In being the nuthor oL Tho text ot tho argument, sum med up briefly, was About n fol lows: Although much of tho land on wldoh tho valuation m raided from twonty dollars per aero to 1J1000 an Acre "was .not utUlted In any manner whoiovor, In hU opinion it would bo it tho operating com panies threw their o&mps open to Mloanmon, storekeepers and other business men and that therefore the board should Uko into considera tion what might be possible rather than the truo hiatus In tho cam?. One of the representatives of to Utah Fuel company iWMested that tho board of county commissioners was not outlining tho bustnnss pol icy of tho company .but that it was being dono by a board ot director. To this Mr. Sharp replied that while that had been Alio onoe, It was go ing to bo different from now on, it It were pOMlble for tho board to change matters. In the balanco of this artlclo The Advocate will Tetor to tho board as Mr. Sharp. While a full board was present the two other members ant during the special session with n "mo too" attitude and agrcod with him to tho minutest detail. Attorney Hitter of tho firm ot AllUton & Hitter and Attorney Erlcfci sen of tho firm of llraffet & Erlck ten appeared on behalf ot tho UUh Fuel company and protested Against tho action of tho board In raising tlio valuation on 310 acres of land from $20 to f 1000 an aero. Tho land involved is In t0-aoro subdivi sions whero the compny haa erectod houses .for minors. Mr. lUttcr explained that tho to tal number of minors' houses own ed by tho company was 810; that approximately fifteen of them could bo placed on An acre ot ground and that If tbo .board so wished tho com pany would bo willing to stand for an Increasod A&oGsment on this ba sis but that an ussoesod valuation of $310,000 was absolutely out ot tho question. Thoo liounos aro rentod to tbo miners at 10 a month. In tho event a minor prefers to erect bio own dwellig ho may do so and only a rental charge ot $3 per year or 25 cents per month ts then made for lo ground. Tho UUh Fuel ToproseUtlves fur thor sbowod that theso samo houses! were now asocabod moro propartlou-1 ately than any other Improvements In tho county. Thoy cost for ma- ferial and construction $600 and the stato board assesses 'thorn for ! two-thirds ot their value or $400. If thewe houses were fcullt in any thing like a ooaa-pact arrangement they would occupy about tlftyfour aores of grouad. To a valuation of $64,000 the ooaeaay would offer no objeotlo&s. Tho constltuttoa of tbo sUto pro vides that tho county assessor must assess coal land at tho prloo ptld the government for tho samo and tho attorney general has given as his opinion that tho lands involved must therefore bo oasoaRed at tho figures tho comnanle paid far thorn it they aro nd tor mining pur :poao8. Tho attorneys olalro thoy aro not usod tor any other pur poses and that If the mlnoa were to i $2t, " close down tho houses would ot course be of no value. In other words they aro usod wholly In con nection with .mining jporatloni. Mr. Sharp ntntod that ItOreMd not believe tho attorney gonorat wo right In his advlco and that tho lands would bo worth moro It tho companies allowed them to bo used for competitive businesses which ho said, ought to bo done. Tho Increased assessment would mako difference ot about $13,000 to tho Utah Puol company Alone. Deforo the matter of ho increase In tho assessment ot dowAtlto prop erty was taken up, a ropresenUtlvo ot tho Wasatch Live Stock company appeared beforo tho board, repre senting that the company's valua tion on graiing land had been In I creased greatly and asked for relief. Mr. Sharp told hlra that tho land, although uudovelopod, was undor lald with flno measures of coal. Tlio representative said that hin com pany was not In tho coal mining business, and that as a matter ot j'faet experts had given as their op inion that the greater part ot tho land in questiou was part ot a goo I logical fault. Mr. Sharp was cer jtnln that tho land was valunblo for coal mining purposes and stated that ono reonon for tho Increased assessed valuation was that tho company holding tho land should derolop It. Tho company's request was therefor turned down, ' ELKS EXPECTED ON 10TK Will Pnrtiebly Visit lVlco IHi'r a Couple of Hours.
