Mines and Utilities to Pay Biggest Share of Tax Dollar in 41
Public utilities and mines will pay a larger portion of the 1842 tax dollar than other major property classes, per the state board of equalization. Completion of county assessment reports shows increases for city and town lots, improvements, utilities, mines, stock, and personal property, with farm lands and some real estate declines. The table lists shifts: farm lands 30.88 to 25.83, other real estate 4.43 to 1.41, city lots 17.8 to 18.94, utilities and mines 32.18 to 32.43, livestock 2.46 to 5.54, personal property 9.78 to 12.85, totaling 100.00. Delineations reflect rep classification of two million grazing acres reducing farm land valuation, and increased personal property uniform assessments. When payments are tallied, utilities and mines will exceed 62 percent of taxes paid, as these operators have consistently contributed taxes in depressions. Delinquencies stem from failure to pay taxes on other listed classes.
