“The report will, 1 believe be looked
upon as the most remarkable of its kina
in this stale. Of the fifty-eight lessees
who appeared for seulemsnt forty nine
accepted the figures of the i dju«ttng
board on land valuation without ques
tier. Three accepted the figures on
improvements. Only six refused to
agree to the adjustment figures.”
The state’s appraisal of section 33
in this eoun.y, land only, was$197,826
25. The lessees appraised the same
land at $116,022 50. The adjusting
board, which settled the matter be-
tween the two, fixed the valuation of
the land at $188,870. There are thiity
section 33, not to section
not now offered for sale.
On the question of improvements
there was a much wider variation of
valuation. The state estimated the
improvements on seetton 33 at $37,194.
The lessees valued their improvements
at $130,141 50. The board of adjusters
fixed lhe valualion at $70,127.12.
