State's Valuation 15 About $525000000
Olympis Sept 19 Washington's state tax levy will be based on an aggregate valuation of about 525 million dollars, roughly the same as counties' totals, instead of 350 million as Auditor Clausen claimed. Clausen says higher valuation would overfund highway and military needs. Rockwell argues excess funds would stay in the state treasury until appropriated. The board adopted a motion to equalize property assessments so total value matches county-returned figures.
