The assessments were not raised in any part tf the county as the assessor and. his - deputies after having investigated general con dititons throughout the state were of thjo opinion that Utah Comity property holders wTere assessed at a rate equal to that in any other part of the state. Most of the time taken in making the assessment this year has been taken up in equalizing and grading the real estate as classified by the late legislature under he sheadings of farming, fruit, grazing and other land. Much work has had to be done also in equalizing the personal property proportionately.
