STATE VALUATIONS OF PROPERTY FOR TAXATION In the Stute of Illinois, from 1839 to 1901, inclusive; also the public debt of the State for the same time.

NOTE.-Up to 1850 only the aggregate valuations in the several counties were reported to the State officers, and from 1852 to 1857, inclusive, a few counties returned only the aggregates; hence the details of real estate and personal property valuations are not complete for those years. In 1867 and 1868 the details of valuation are not entirely correct, owing to changes by the operation of the equalization law. Since 1868 the valuations are as equalized. The total valuations in each of the several years are correct and official.

The valuations for 1873 as equalized are largely in excess of any previous year. In 1874 some changes were made in the manner of equalizing the assessments, resulting in reducing all the valuations, especially those of railroad property.

The State debt, as noted, represents it as it stood on the 1st of January in each of the severa. years to 1869; in 1869 and 1870, as it stood December 1; in 1871, as it stood December 31; from 1872 to 1879, as it stood December 1.

NOTE. From 1857 to 1862, inclusive, a lamp tax of half a mill to two mills was levied on certain portions of the city, and is included in the
above total tax. The city debt as noted represents it as it stood on February 1 in 1857 to 1861, inclusive; on April 1 in 1862 to 1874, inclusive; and on
December 31, since 1874. Valuations from 1875 to 1883, inclusive, are by the county assessment, as equalized by the State Board of Equalization, and
in some of these years do not include railroad property. The city tax on railroad property for 1882 and 1883, something over $100,000 for each year,
is not included in the above total tax. The above figures for 1889 include the districts annexed to the city of Chicago July 15 of that year.
These totals include for 1900, $13,641,297, for 1901, $15,622,257 railroad property.
