las has next to the lowest mill
age rate at 78.7,
Total gain in the county val
uation as pointed out by Ed C.
Dunn, assessor, is $169,515. The
valuation in 1945-46 was $12,
637,155 as compared with $12,
806,670. "This gain was shown in
spite of all the heavy timber
removal," Dunn states. "Polk
county was fortunate in not
having much loss by fire in
1946. Construction did not give
us much gain because of the
difficulty of obtaining building
materials. It was expected that
we would gain heavy in West
Salem, but much of the com
mercial construction there was
only started when the assess
ment of January 1, 1946, was
made. Many of the new addi
tions to both West Salem and
Dallas were not subdivided un
til after January 1 and the law
requires that all assessments be
made as of January 1, so there
was no gain on the land as
sessment of such tracts."
The state tax commission is
now making a complete reap
praisal of Independence and
Monmouth and some adjoining
additions but such a reappraisal
will not be made in Dallas and
Falls City until a future year.
An Interesting sidelight of the
tax summary prepared by the
county have decreased by about
1200 head, from 10,000 to 8,830.
This probably enters into the
picture on the increasing price
of milk and the meat shortage.
Sheep and goats also dropped
from 18.000 to 16.971. Poul
try gained from 71,791 to over
73,000.
G. F. (Trude) McBce, court
house janitor, again took honors
as being the first to pay his
taxes, according to Sheriff
Hooker. McBee in his strategic
position at the courthouse has
been ahead of all other taxpay
ers for the past several years.

Dallas The big job of mail
ing 12,000 tax statements to
Polk county taxpayers has been
completed by the office staff of
Sheriff T. B. Hooker and the
rush to pay has begun.
Total taxes to be raised for
all purposes in the county is
$789,005.07 this year as com
pared with $509,032.97 in 1945
46, or an increase of about
$280,000. A large part of the
general increase is attributed to
increased costs of running the
schools but is also due to higher
costs of administering all
branches of the local govern
ments. The millage rales in the cities
run from Monmouth's 72.2 at
the bottom to the 140.0 mills in
Falls City as the high and per
centage rise is from 32 percent
to 98 percent, taxes being nearly
double in some instances. Dal
