In many instances Individual assessments in western Crook county
have increased from 60 to 150 per cent. The increase in tho Bond dis
trict is $107,341. in Redmond $177,017 nnd In Madras $200,231. How-
ever, the l'rineville valuation has decreased $10,270, while districts in the
eastern portion of the county, such as Howard, Ashwood, Reams, Maury,
Buck Crook, Boar Crook, Upper Rye Grass nnd Alkali Flat, all have ex
perienced considerable decrease. A curious froak of tho Inst assessment
is tho decrease of the Allen district (surrounding C. B. Allen's ranch on
Little River, 20 miles south of Bond) of $71,093. Those complaining of
the increased taxos point to this as uncxplainablc, maintaining that it
shows tho haphazard methods by which the valuations must have been
reached.
While admitting that the coming of the railroads and the recent big
development on the wost side of the county has of course materially in
creased land values, thoso who have experienced the greatest increase,
notably in the Bend, Redmond and Madras districts, ask if l'rineville real
estate really is worth less this year than it was last, as would seem to Ihj
Indicated by the figures.
At Madras a committee of three has been appointed by taxpayers, ac
cording to the Madras Pioneer, to wait upon tho County Commissioners
to ondeavor to Bccuro a just rebate on our assessments." Whether any
such action will be taken at Bend is an yet uncertain.
