is seven and a half mills. With the
present valuation at approximately
$45,000,000, the net income is esti
mated at $325,000,000, which is ap
parently not enough to meet ex
penses numerous temporary loans
usually have had to be made in the
past.
.Since the last triennial assessment
was made three years ago coal lands
have greatly increased in value, if
the prices that have been paid for
coal this winter are to be taken into
consideration. It is generally • be
