County Valuation Down From 1964 By $80,000
Franklin County real property valuation for 1965 is listed at $6,401,890, down about $80,000 from 1964. Assessor Marvin Gregerson cites less machinery assessed and removal of goods under the Freeport Law and $75,000 of stored sugar from the old Franklin County Sugar Company warehouse as causes. Sugar removal by Amalgamated Sugar likely would have occurred anyway under Freeport rules. Yearling values dropped about $16,000 while chickens milk sheep and other categories rose moderately. Irrigated land fell about $4,000 to $1,234,695 with 34,618 acres. non irrigated land rose 250 acres to about $1,000 in value across 92,615 acres.
