Farm Values Unchanged Says State Council Official
Secretary Ramsay states the impression that the state executive council raised farm land equalized values and taxes in the past two years is erroneous. No change in farm land values has occurred for about four years. Some counties with low assessments were raised to the equalized base while livestock and personal property declined. Overall, few will pay more taxes than the 1920 valuation.
