TO BE REDUCED ON ROLL Board of Equalization Determines On n Twenty Per Ocn Reduc tion Follows Cut Mi.de on Livestock Last 'tnr At a meeting of tlr Board of Equalization Monday was deter mined to cut tho asse 'cnt on ir rigated farm lands of 1.10 county twenty per cent, bringing down the valuation for taxable purposes of tho Owyhee lands for examplo from $100 per acre to $80 and other dis tricts in proportion. This adjustment was made by the uuajilmous decision of tho board af ter a thorough consideration of the petition presented by a number of land owners under tho Owyhee Ditch in tho Nyssa torritory, and is in lino with tho reduction in person al property such os sheop and cat tlo which was made last year fol lowing tho slump in livestock val ues. Tux Delinquency $000,000 The last half of tho taxes collected this year was duo on the last Thurs day, and according to tho reports of tho officials in tho sheriff's office, about one half of the install ment was paid. This will make tho total of delinquent taxes in the county total $G00,000, but despito this big delinquency taxes whllo ap parently bad is not reflected In the conditio ofn flnancos of tho county government itself. For example In spite of this largo delinquency tho county itself is still upon a cash basis, this is true in spite of tho fact that to pay the county's proportion of the state taxes tho officials havo had to draw upon tho general fund of the county for $25,000 for last year, and may have to do so for tho last half of this year. While the county itself has no outstanding warrants there are few of tho taxing subdivisions whoso de linquencies in payment of taxes ac counts for most of the largo total can boast of bucIi a record. In other words tho County Court is almost alono among the taxing di visions of tho county that has so trimmed its expenses that it has kept within the sum that the peoplo havo paid, though to do this work contemplated has not been done DELEGATES LEAVE TO ATTENDLOIHEETING Tlirco States to Join In Considering Short Cut From Bolso to Cali fornia Sohslon to bo Held for Tlirco Days County Judgo E.
