THE TAX LEVIES.
Last vear the asseased value of
Prowers county was §1,716.451. and 'the
county devy of 26} miils wonld return
| $45.500 spproximately. ‘As’ fully ex
| olained fo the voters Isst yesr—and to
| their satisfaction, as the retarns showed

pay the unusual bridgeezpense and te

by the failure to dispose of dry lands st

the Je 7y would be colected, the amoont

scorued indebtedness, andthis year,

If=! the buvers of tax titles, who are dis
sutisfied with the present redemption
law, got together and decided that they
{ wowld bid tn anly the choicest property
jadvensod ‘for. taxes..in the variess
counties'of the .state. Phis step was
taken to ivfluence the incoming legis
lature to return the old redemption law,
gnder which the tax title bayers teok
sH {ands offered becanse of the high rates
of redemption. Many of the counties of
the stutes were seriously embarrasesd
by the action of these speculators and
several of them sent . petitions to the
legislature prayingfor a return to the
old law.
Prowers county felt the effects of the
conspiracy keenly, aa fully SIO.OOO of
county taxes against property that had
soold before had to be arsumed by the
county, making a deficiency of that
amonnt in the éstimated crash revenve
Very tittie of the taxes thus assumed by
the county having sinoe beea paid, and
the deficiency, instead of being wiped
opt, was made greater.
The assessor's return for this year |.
showe 2 total valuation for ti.e county of
$1.351828, or & reduction of $365.428
from last year’s uassessment. The levy
of 80 mills dgainst this amount calls for
$40,600, or 5000 lees than last vear, not
withstanding the loss of revenue. The
showing is certainly a good one and en
titles sbe bosrd of commissioners to
credit for ity efforts in behalf of the tax
payers. To reduce the amount ¢f ' taxes
paid by each individual under existing
conditions s & praiseworthy sctomp
lishment,
A few words in conclusion: The
county of Prowers is now carrying lands
snd lots on which raxes amounting to
fully 920,000 ure doe—about SIO,OOO
'being county and the remainder ciiy
and mate taxes.. Thisland is asseesed |
