It is ost i mated that tlio totnl value
of tumble jirojKirty In (liia alntn ac
cording to the asHCBHiiicnt just com
pitted, will be 1175,000,000. Tlie
Government ceunus of 1D00 placed the
actual value cf farm jiroiierty alone at
1172,000,000, so tliis ansiHsvd valua
tion, should It prove to lie. as high as
expected, will not be one-third of the
actual value. The public oxjieniui is
the same, whether the asHCKHed value
be high or low. Tlio lower the
assessment, the higher the rate of
levy. For tlio looks of things, it in
bettor to havo a liifc'li valuation and a
low rate of levy, and the sooner that
end Is accomplished, the hotter it
will be for peopie who havo property
