The county figures show that there is a decrease at present in every county of the state except Carlton and Finery, where the slate lioard has raised the assessments on coal lands, and I'inte, Sevier, Summit, Washington and Weber, where the natural growth is recorded. The heaviest rate of decrease was 29.3 ier rent in lluggett county, but so small is that county that this only totaled 211,120. The argent decrease was in Salt Lake county, 19,602,469, accounted for largely hy the falling off in the net proceeds of the mine notably Utah Cojiiier, and also to some extent by the reduction in value of the Utah-ldah- o Sugar eoiniany holdings. The rate of decrease in Salt Lake waa 6.6 per cent. The highest increase in any one county waa 718,775, in Carbon, but the rate here was only 2.7 per rent as compared with a rate of increase of nearly 5 per rent in Sevier county, where the total increase was 692,478. The state lioard of equalization announced increases in at least one class of pnqierty in all but three eountiea of the atate, these being Beaver, Juab and Sanpete. The Saniete commissioners, however, are aiming a huge number in the state who will be asked to reconvene to consider certain definite problems before them as brought out since the regular aesslona of the countv boards of equalization Were completed.

While there will still be some slight changes from this total, some alight increases and other decreases being still in jirospeot, the grand total will not lie materially altered from these figures for the present year. On this valuation the laiard fixed a tax levy for state general fund purposes of 2.2 mills, for state high school purposes of of a mill and for state district school jiurjaiaes of 4.5 mills. The board had been rather exiected to raise the latter figure, the legislative maximum, to 4.(1 mills for school puriioses, hut on advising orally with II. H. Cluff, attorney general, concluded that it was not in a legal jMrtut ion so to raise it. The total levy for state purjaisea, therefore, this year stands at 6.9 mills, instead of five mills as of last year. The increase is entirely due to the constitutional amendment j waited by the people of the state at the last election, providing state aid for the schools to the extent of twenty-fiv- e dollars per capita of school population as shown by the list school census. For state general fund purposes, including the maintenance accounts of the University of Utah, the Utah Agricultural college and the branch agricultural college, the board provided 3 levy of 2.2 mills as compared with 2.4 mills of last year.

Net Total Increases. The net total increase ordered by the state hoard over the figures as presented hy the county auditors, after action by the county lioards of equalization, was 8,504,802 or 1.25 per cent over the auditor e totals. Inasmuch as these totale include also pnqw erty assessed by the atate lioard, the figures of the county assessors, as revised by the county lioards of equalization, were really increased an average of about 2 per cent. The increase ordered in Salt Lake "county was the largest in amount, but represented only about per cent of the total valuation of the county and city. The increase in Cache was next largest in amount, and was 4.07 jier cent of that county's total. The largest rate ordered by the board in any one county was 7 cent up in Morgan county where jer it reviewed many classes of property. The decrease in Tooele county represented two-- t birds of 1 per cent of the county's total. Tooele was Ihe only county in which any decrease was actually ordered hy the hoard, although in a few of the others it is expected that a decrease will result from the d of the comity lioards.
