Valuation placed by the county assessors this year ipsin projH-rtlisted by them was $IG7,10G27, or $0,270,-71- 0 above the final assessment of that rlaxs of property in 1925. , This valuation, however, is subject to change by the county boards of equalization and to final adjustment by the state boaiti, but it is not believed that the changes will make a great deal of difference .in the total amount. Adding the assessment of $231,039,- 564 placed upon minea and publie utilities by the state board to the placed upon other classes of property by the county assessors gives . a tentative total asssesinent valuation for the state of $698,146,301. While this is subject to some change, taxing officials do not seem to think that the differences will alter the aggregate .amount to any great extent. The total valuation of property in 1925 was approximately $608,000,000. The greatest increase in the valuation of any class of property assessed by the state board this year was in that of mines.
