Cory Oil Gas Valuations Fall By About 800000 Countywide
Colorado County commissioners continued the board of equalization as engineers from Dallas assisted in hearings with gas property owners and corporations. Declining drilling and fewer wells are blamed for the drop, with total valuations down by roughly 0.75 million from the 1958 total of 45,859,725. County Tax Assessor Collector H. J. Hajovalcy notes part of loss is offset by higher values on other properties due to new construction.
