used to assess land at a value depending on distance
from towns say $100 an acre, one mile from towns ten
miles from town, $50 an acres twenty-five miles from
town, 360 much less,
irregardless of the fertility of the land?
Regardless of anything. That was in old times. I
don't know what they de now. There are a whole lot
of different methods, In Glenn-Colusa, my recollection is that at one time we assessed all lands the
same, That isn't true at all as to real value, you
imow,
No, the lends aren't equivalent,
They are not of equal value at all. I think sssess=
ments within meny irrigetion districts have but little
relation to the actual value.
I've got the figures, The assessment rate in the
Nevada District wascabout $1 per $100 in 196, $2
in 1917, $3 in 198, and then it went a to $5 per
$100. ,
When I was there, except for the first two years, we
kept it dow to about $1 per $100, which amounted to
sbout $30,000 « year snd that was ebout as much as
the district could stand at thet time.
Your valuation must have been very low.
