Lake City, of D course, is .60,-122tG13f according to fig- urcs complied by County Assessor K Amos Gabbott from roturns made by hit deputies, who fiuished their work only , u few days ago. Tho figures were re- m leased Thursda-. The assessed valuation for 190S was ."r3n.207.S9it The valuation this year is an increase over 15)03 of .$1,214,71-1. Tho amendment to tho constitution, passed B' by the last legislature, provides for tin It assessment by tho state board of equal- V i.atiou of the not proceeds of mines ? V i and nil mining machinery used in inak- K ing surface improvement's. Those items X amounted to l.GS.'!,10: in 100S and, do- ' ducting this amount from tho 1P0S as fl sessmeht leaves an estimated increase ?f Tor J5I00 of .-?2,S5)7,817. On account o the idleness of some of the mines, be- f : cause of the financial depression, the output of the mines in 1D0S was not ( nearly as great, as it will be in 1!I0. it. ; is generally believed, nud this will give tho couut' a still further increased S valuation amounting to .-rujOOOjOOOj prob- u ably. B '1 he figures show that the county t ring, of which the commissioners arc .J' the moving spirit, is still piling up the i taxes on Salt Lake City. The depu- i ties, it is said, were sent out with in- i st ructions from the commissioners lo p give e'ity property a boost in valna- i . tion and leave county property alone, . g and this the figures show thcy'did. Of the estimated increased valuation 4 of $2,81)7.817. arrived at by including i the probable net proceeds ot mines, the city's part is 2,0S-I ,S 1 2. while the $ county's is only Ihe pitiful sum of $2io.- jj OOo. Leaving out the net; proceeds of i mines, county property shows a decrease S iu valuation lhis year over last year jj' of $1,470.09S. .Here arc the figure's ou J. the increase actually shown by As-sesaor As-sesaor Cabholt's report; f Figuros on Iucrease.

'- IL Carrying ihe odious comparison fur 'y titer, of tlie total assessed valuation of !' "'- G0.122,Gi:; for IDOSI. Sail Lake City's $ part is JS,I I7.G77, or approximately . SO per cent. This means that Salt Lake IP f'ity is paying SO per cent, of the taxes tS of the entire count'. This is due lo ii' the discrimination of tho county com- S missioners, alj of whom own county h ! properly, against the city. jtj '1 ho increase in the city is mainly on unimproved properly and improve inenls. Deputy t'onnly Assessor "Will Latham says.. He anticipates that the assessed va'luntiou in the city will go to i. $00,000,000 next year on account of the J gigantic improvements now being and ij iibout to be, made. Por instance, the f two Newhoiisc buildings were only .-just ! begun when the assessment was made 8 last yenr,'and they were put in at only a $I20,000. Now thev arc virtually com- jl pletcd and went in' at $1,000,000 this I 9 vear. Then there is the new 1.300.- I3 000 Newhouse hotel just starting at .Q Fourth South and Main streets and the ig .$2,000,000 hotel to be built nt thy head ji of Main street, and scores of other ex-tensive ex-tensive improvements that will come in next year and send the city's valuation j through Ihe skylights. With the gi- ; ganlic strides in improvements which tho city is making and the rank discrim- ' ination the county commissioners are j showing, there is no reason to doubt ;i the truth of the statement that the Citv's valuation will go lo .a0.000,000 ! in 1010. Jf it doesn't actually reach :jj - that figure the commissioners will put -a it there! tiny way. Out Ahead of Time. -j Both Mr. Gabbott and Mr. Lealham , are priding themselves on the fact that v the assessed valuation was made up fif- ; I ecu 'lavs earlier this than last year. f The state board of equalization' will meet the first Monday in .Inly and as !?i sess the net proceeds of the mines ot ;S tho count v. This will add at least $1.- i 600,000 t'o the assessed valuation of & the eountv. Mr. Lealham anticipates, aud" possililv considerably more. ii The .Ionian district show's a decrease 5 ; of , 1.7110,250 iu the assessed valuation ( , of this over lasl year. Tho valuation 'ti 1 last vear was .5.17J,J 12; this year. :r::,- M ; SSO.SoG. This decrease is partly ou ac- ll ; count of the enforced idleness of the . smelters in lhat district because of the . ' financial str.iugcncy. and partly due to ihe new law which provides for the ; ; assessment of the net proceeds of miner. bv tho stale board of equalization. i.j i Vrhon the slate board of equalization j- makes the assessment on the net pro- ,j j ceeds of mines, this district will re- ; I ceive its proportionate sharvi, which will . partlv make up this year's deficiency 1 over"H)US. .
