Sapulpa July 27— The com
pulsory ad valoiein tax boost
which reportedly has been re-
commended to the state board
of equalization would be a blow
to tits pocketbooks of some
Creek countlans according to
Vernal d McKinney county as-
sessor A state newspaper earlier this
week reported that the state tax
eoinmislon has recommended
forced but gradual equalization
program that could result in in-
creases in property assessments
In 58 of the state's 77 counties
McKinney said the recom-
mended increase stems from ef-
forts of Gov J Howard Ed
mondson to bring about some
degree of equalization of as-
sessments among counties and
boost local support for schools
thereby taking some of the load
off the state
Under teims of the Increase
fiist proposed by Gov Edmond-
son gll counties would raise
their assessments rate to 22 05
per ent of the property’s actual
cash value
Average Rate
McKinney said a study pre-
pared by The Oklahoma Tax
Commission shows the average
assessment rate in Creek coun-

per cent under the statewide
average being sought by the
governor - f
Although McKinney does not

county with the real estate in
