tion, has refused to adopt the recom

county board was ordered to raise the
assessed valuation of Denver county
$55,000,000. A resolution containing
nine specific reasons why the re
fusal was made was adopted by the
county board and ordered sent to the
tax commission. The commission di
rected that valuations be raised on
certain classes of property and the
county board replied that this could
not be done because the property is
already assessed as its full cash val
uation; that to follow the recommen
dations of the state commission
would necessitate a new assessment,
which the local board is without pow
er to make; that an average raise
cannot be made because of the diver
sity of value, and that the recommen
dations would necessitate violation of
the constitution.
