This year's assessments on state assessed property are not yet available. The assessment total reveals that lots were valued for tax purposes at $4,696,807 this year compared to $4,006,656. A large proportion of the increase is due to the fact that 19 new subdivisions sub-divisions were opened throughout through-out the county during the past year. Land totaled $9,660,588 in 1948 while in 1947 it was $8,936,151. Improvements on lots were placed plac-ed at $10,970,042 in 1948 and was $10,243,012 last year.
