Jasper County Tax Rolls Show Decline in 1922 Valuation
1922 valuation of taxable property in Jasper County excluding railroads and banks shows a total decrease of about 7.6 million. Real estate drops from 33.16 million in 1919 to 27.19 million in 1922, while farm improvements and personal property also fall. City improvements rise by 138 thousand, with overall shifts attributed to state tax board actions likely causing broad county increases later.
