The assessed value of taxable property in Polk county this year will exceed eight million dollars. The assessment rolls are not finished, but the work has progressed far enough to make it clear that the total amount of taxable property will be between $8,740,000 and $8,750,000. The total taxable property last year amounted to $4,035,000. The increased valuation this year was made by Assessor Graves in accordance with the agreement of the assessors of the several counties to bring all classes of property nearer to cash value. The recent decision of the Supreme Court declaring the homestead exemption law unconstitu tional will add several hundred thousand dollars to Assessor Graves' original assessment. The County Board of Equalization will meet in the office of County Clerk Smith next Monday and correct any errors in valuation or description of property that may have been made in the assessment of property or prepara tion of the tax roll.
