Secretary Chrls Schaviand of the State Board of Assessment has lssued the follow- ing circular to county assessors in regard to the assessment of grain brokers or grain dealers: From numerous letters recently recelv | at_this office It Is evident that there is i difference of opinfon among some grain brokers and assessors as to the correct manner of assessing the property of grain brokers and grain companies, and 1 there- fore again beg leave to call your attention to the supreme court's definition of the words “average capital, or ‘‘average amount of capital. as used In my circular lotter of the 2d instant Average capital of a grain broker, ac- cording to such definition, 18 not only the average amount of money used in buying grain, but it is “the average of the amount of cash and all other property of every | kind used in carrying on the business | “Average capital must therefore necessarily fnclude the real estate, If any, and all bulldings and equipments owned and used in carrying on the business, also:the av- erage amount of money used in buying grain, such average to be determined from the Iast year's business, but in determining which no fixed or hard and fast rule can be applied. But grain on hand on the lst day of April should not be considered in determining the average amount of capital To illustrate the manner in which I would proceed to assess the property of a grain broker, consisting of elevator with eauip- ment, office bullding with furniture, scales, | cribs’ and sheds, all of which I will pres | sume In this case to be on leased ground, and grain on hand amounting to $400, casn on hand or in bank amounting to $300, and | a piece of real estate. 1 will give the fol- lowing as a_brief example: | It 1 should find that the elevator with | its equipment is worth $4.000; that the office buflding with Its furniture is worth $75; up the books of {that the scales are worth $7: that {cribs and sheds are worth $400; that th | real_estate is worth $400, and that the average amount of money used in buying grain is $1,000, the ‘‘average capital’ used | in carrying on the business would then be $6.450. 1 would then list for assessment the build- ings. equipments, furniture, scales and real estate at thelr appralred value, which in this case would be $5,40. I would also list | for assessment the grain on hand, valued at $400, and the cash on hand or in bank, amounting to $30: and In addition T would Inist the excess of the “average capital' over the amount of real estate and other tangible property, which would be 3500, This would make a totdl valuation of 450, Hy deducting the value of the real estate, 3400, which Is separately assessed, 1 would have a personal property assessment of the actual value of $6.060. 1f T had found graim on hand amaunting to $300 instead -of $4%0; but all. other prop- erty, including cash, to be the same as shown above. then the amount of tangible property would have exceeded the “average cgpital,” and in that case I would not have added anything to the value of the tangible | property Supports Dr. Simmons. a speclal meeting of the Lancaster Medical soclety held the follawing resolution At | County roon, opted | Whereas, It of the Lancaster after- was ad this has come to the knowledge County Medical society. formerly the Lincoln Medical socfety, that Dr. George H.
