Assessors usually place their full valuation at about oneâ€"half f the true worth which means that ‘axes are actually paid of oneâ€"fourth value of land rather than oneâ€"half. It is interesting to note that there were 1071 more lots added to the county during the past year and there will be more this next year as Pearsall states that there have been 13,000 lot éescriptions added in the recorder‘s office since April 1, which shows the extent of the subdividing in the counâ€" ty. x Is Over $1,756,830 More Than| proverent in Winnetka, whigh is to Previous Year; Report Is a part of the proposed {hrough Record In Valuation}, «highway along the north shor@ is proâ€" Report Says ssing rapidly, according lage ToOTAL OVER 46 MILLION Following are the figures on the past two years, based on assessed valâ€" uations : , 1926 1925 Land $11,082.545 $11,305,.820 Lots _ > 25.677.585 23.698,580 Personal 9,904,705 9.993.505 Total . 46,664,735 44,907,905 There was a decrease on lands beâ€" cause so much of the acreage was cut into lots which show an increase in proportion.
