The next great- est increase was that of Hot Springs jeounty, 28.27 per cent, and the third | greatest that of Albany county, 24.08 per cent. It is a noteworthy fart that all three of the leading counties in_re- spect to increase in assessed valuation are “oil counties.” Two counties of the state reported” decredses in assess- ed valuation, Johnson recording a de- crease of 10.34 per cent and Campbel! a decrease of 4.09 per cont. Both are “cattle counties." Laramie county, in which the state’s largest city; Chey- enne, is located, ranked only éigh- teenth in regatd to percentage of in- crease in assessed: valuation. It prob- ably most appropriately may be desig- nated a. “capitalistic county.” The following list shows the assessed valuation inerease in each county and the percentage of imcrease in the or-} der of the amount of increase: | Increase.
