VOLUME 30. NO. 36 IDAHO VALUED AT $353,500,000 SHOSHONE MINES AND TWIN: FALLS ACCOUNT FOR DECREASE. | Net increases amounting to were made in the reported valuation approximately $1,000,000 of all Idaho property, except public utilities, by the state board of equalization, which ad- journed its 1922 session Satur- day. The equalized value of all property in the state last year was $370,073,780, This year the reported value of this same property, according to the asses- sors’ rolls, was $351,363,339, or a decrease of about $20,000,000. The board's increase raised this reported value to about $353,- 500,000. Valuation for taxation of all public utilities in the state re- mained practically steady. The Oregon Short Line Railroad company received an increase in assessed value at the hands of the boerd amounting to $2000 per mile on the Bliss-Rupert branch. This branch line runs through the counties of. Jerome, Gooding and Minidoka. Other changes in utilities were: Utah Power & Light company, ised from $7,600,- 000 to $7,250,000; Keotenai Power company, raised from $100,000 to $115,000; Wood River Power company, raised from $60,900 to $70,000. The Idaho Power company’s valua- tion of $6,590,000 was untouched Representatives of the power companies were advocating a re- duction of $4,000,000 before the board. Attorneys for the Oregon Short Line made representations to the borrd that the assessed valuation of that company’s Idaho property should be cut from $55.000,000, the 1921 fig- ure, to $35,000,000. The board, however, made ro changes, ex- cept the Rupert-Bliss branch line increase, in the company’s valua- tion. Changes in other taxable pro- perty were made by the board in only five counties of the 44 in the state. Agriculiural lands in Gooding county were raised 10 percent on the value reported by the ass¢ *. The reported value is 13 percent less then the equal- ized value for 1921, so that in reality the county is not assessed so highly as last year. Irrigated land in Cassia coun- ty was raised 15 percent on the value reported by the assessor. The reporied value is 9 percent less than the equalized value for 1921, so tle value on irrigated land in the county has been in- creased 6 percent by the board. Irrigated land in Kootenai county was increased more than 9 percent over last year. Perhaps the largest change came in Minidoka county, where the board increased irrigated land, residence lots and business lots 40 percent, or 11 percent less than the 1921 equdlized value. Although residence and business lots were increased 40 percent this year over the reported value the net result is that business lots are 17 percent less than the equalized value of last year, and residence lots 14 percent less. Agricultural land in Twin Falls county was decreased 5 percent under the reported value of the assessor. This places this class of property at a value 14 percent less than the equalized value of last year. Another distinct loss in values was ‘occasioned in Shoshone county, which reported $4,000,- 000 less income from mines than last year. Other counties suf- fered losses due to decreases in live stock and merchandise. The state levy was fixed for 1922 by the board at .5391 cents on the $100 of valuation. This levy is a reduction from last year’s which wes .557 cents on the $100. In 1920 the levy was 616 cents on the $100 and in 1919 .783 cents.
