ASSESSORS Fl 10 H CASH VALUES 111. hi .V ,f V Some Assessments This -Yea ''Made at 50 PerCent Less .Than Actual Worth, "1 ' (Satan Burfcari et Tks Journal.! Salem. Or., Nov. 11. Ths tentative ratios prepared by th state tax com' i'r mission.; upon., which ths assessment 'Of property of publlo utUltles in the var . lous countfee will be based for this year show that moat of the county as v sessors not only failed to assess the - - property In their counties at cash value, but actually aaessed at lower ratio tnis year than-last year. ' -AH of the assessable property In the t various counties, with the exception of iiuuuo uuuue,, is assessea oy n coun ty assessors. The publlo utilities are assessed by toe state tax commission. .. This commission ascertains the ratio of valuation upon wMch the various coun ' tyv assessors, based1 their assessments, , and then It fixes, the assessments of the ' publlo utilities In the- various counties to correspond to the assessment of other property; ; ?';;- i .f Nfc, For instance, In Marlon county the '. commission finds ; that property - was assessed at 60 per' cent of Its 'cash value, while In Folk It was assessed at H Toer cent of Its cash' value. " Railroad . property: running- tnrougn the two coun. I Ties, tnsn' will be assessed ati 0 per rent in Marlon and CI per cent in Polk. In this 'way the railroad" company ; la -. made .to pay Its taxes In ' each - county n the same basis of valuation as other , property holders. . ,:""' it Assessors Sax.' . Ths law requires that assessments should be mads at cash value, but' coun. ty assessors apparently laugh at the - law. The assessments this year In all I the counties average' less than J 13 per , cent or .cash value, according: to ths " ratios pfeoared bv the tax commission. , while laet year It averaged more than f per cent of ".cash 'value. ;g5Ty ;r"""r? Jin 23 out of 84 counties, in' th stats . ths . ratio of assessments Is less? 'this year than. last. 1 If It were not for the ' decided increase ta the ratio in Clatsop, : Columbia i.and coos, couhtles, the aver age would have fallen several points. In Multnomah county the tax coramls . slon found that property was assessed ,: , win year at 68 per cent of IU cash : value, while last year It was assessed at 15 per oenC This means that public .. utilities will be assessed in that coun. ty at 85 per cent of their ash value, ...:4 Instead of 95 per cent, or 100 per cent, ' which la the rata at which; the law says all property should be assessed. 1 There ,1s a marked reduction In the : v ratio of assessments this year In Hood , ' River county, where the i rate dropped rrom 71 per cent or cash value to 59 i per cent; In Klamath where ths rate dropped from 72 to 58; In Lane, where the rats dropped from 88 to 81 per cent ' v;. Ths lowest Tatlos are ,found in Tarn hill, Washington and Crook,; whers the ; assessments were made at Jess than 50 per cent of cash, value.
