Valuation in Neighboring States 



It is desirable, from all points of view, that the schedules of val- 

 uation throughout a district in which similar market conditions pre- 

 vail, should differ as little as possible. It has been our practice in 

 the past, to conform our schedule to that adopted after very careful 

 co-operative study of market conditions for each year, by the New 

 England States, New York and New Jersey, except where the peculiar 

 conditions of our markets have made the valuations diverge too 

 largely from the actual selling prices, as in the case of ground bone 

 and dissolved rock phosphates. The schedules for these States for 

 1909 and 1910 are as follows:
