Total Canadian Value
Drops Slightly
Valuations of three utilities in
Canadian county have been in-
i reused $263,673 over 1936 val-
idations, according to figures cer-
tified to local officials by the.
state tax commission.
Corporations file their returns
with the state officials, who, in
turn, send them to county off!-,
dais, after the valuations have
heen approved.
The largest increase was giv-
er the Oklahoma Gas and Elec-
tric Co., which had an assessed
valuation of $243,038 in 19'30
and $466,636 in 1931.
Southwest Bell Telephone Co.

and Rex Gephart. I. C. Mont-j4<j from $289,133 to $338,241.

ance.

raised from $137,336 to $186,-

Total Valuation Less
Valuations of the Rock Island,
Oklahoma Railways Co., and
Frisco have not yet been turned
to county officials.
In spite of the raise la util-
ities valuations the total assess-
ed value of the county is expect-
ed to he about $1,300,000 below
1930. This is due largriy to the
10 per cent ^decrease on lantj,
made by the state board. Tbts
uud the personal property de-
crease account for a loss of $1,-
772,996 according to figures lit
the office of John Stanley, coun-
ty assessor. The raise in util-
ities will cut the loss to about
11.500,000.
