Livestock 10 to 50 percent in most townships. Dekalb —Personal property, 16% percent in Troy and Fairfield townships. Household goods, 25 percent, in Garrett, and 30 percent in Butler. Adams County Board Called Although Martin Jaberg, county auditor, and William Zimmerman, county assessor, have not received official word from the state board of tax commissioners relative to the increasing of the assessments of personal property in Adams county, Mr. Jaberg stated that he would call the members of the board of review into session on.next Tuesday, the date set by the state board. Local officials do not know if the state tax board will demand the increasing of all personal property or whether increases will be ordered on certain * classes of property only. Last week when Mr. Zimmerman attended the hearing of the tax commissioners at Indianapolis, he was informed that the assessment of farming implements, automobiles, brood sows and poultry was too low and that more than likely an increase would be demanded. If the state tax board demands the increasing of the assessments on personal property the county board of review will more than likely be forced to comply with the order and the assessments will be adjusted to correspond with the states figures. The valuation of all property in Adams county as finally fixed by the county board of review was $36,116,760.00, including $7,358,355.00 of personal property, but exclusive of the state’s assessment of railroads, telephone, telegraph and pipe line companies, which Will bring the total assessed valuation in this county to about forty-two million dollars. The state board ordered the increases in 24 of the 92 counties and the increases recommended ranged from five to 50 percent.
