Taxpayers to Find
Property Bills Up
(Continued from page 1)
at $14,318,650, an Increase of
$129,670.
Offsetting this, however, are
some substantial decreases in
personal property. Farm mach
inery is down slightly, but oth
er machinery and equipment
dropped $417,890, being shown
this year at $408,210 as compar
ed with $826,100 in 1966-67. This
is probably due in large meas
ure to the amount of heavy
en ii Inment that was used in
construction In the north end
of the county last year and
which is gone this year.
Utility assessment Is up
slightly, going to $2,630,487 from
the $2,622,772 of last year. Next
year, when the new compressor
station of Pacific Gas Transmis
sion Co. at lone goes on the
rolls, this utility figure will in
crease.
