Total valuation of teal property is $<1,817,240. Was- co has the largest real property valuation with $800,840. Personal property is composed of farm equipment, stocks of goods and livestock which is val- ued a t less than a million dollars, $948420 to be exact.’ The Kent school district contains enough livestock to have the highest per- sonal property tax valuation. Utility valuations vary great ert in Sherman county partly be- cause of tbe comparative sc a rify of utilities. Much the largest vni • uation of utilities is in railroads although the electric utility vaJ- uation is quite high It is, how e « r , pretty »rell «altered, a . , ---- , ...... „ u « l l t ^ u net „ HiSh7 l - utihty valuation » in the Rufus district, which, with district 3A, u .. . .. va,u- »«on of the county.
