ALEM. Or, Dec 9 (Special.) Eleven
counties have not yet filed their assess

-lnricrine bv the nmires transmitted by
the 23 counties that have sent in their
eesessment summaries, the total property
valuation In the state tor 196 will surpass
hn of 19C bv something hko
or an Increase of about 6 per cent. The
Increase would be much greater but for
Hhe fact that a few counties nave mnu
enormous cuts In assessed valuations.
TJmatUla County, for example, has re
priced Its assessment from J12.0J0.OW to
it, cn wi a cut of $17,000,000. Washlng-
.,.t. fnuntv reDorts a decrease of H.OOO.OOrt.
'There is an apparent cut In Aasco
County from J.23.i00 to J5.92T.00O. but this
is only apparent for the real reduction Is
due to the fact Uiat ttooa rtiver iu'u
has been sliced out of Wasco.' This
decrease will be made up when the re

received.

total increase In the counties reported
