Nelson, an nounces that the assessed valuation of Clackamas county property will be about doubled. Assessments on rail roads and other incorporations will be more than doubled, i here is no doubt that these properties have been assessed entirely too low, and, in fact, that al most every other kind oi property has been assessed too low in this county, and this is the reason tbat the tax levy in Clackamas ccunty is bo much higher than it is in the various other counties in the fctate. By doubling the valua tion the levy will be reduced to a pretty reasonable figure in the years to come, and it will look much better to an out sider who thinks of investing in proper ty here to have a levy of say from 18 to 25 mils than the present rate.
