The determina'ion is the out-
growth of the act on of the Cotuniis
sioners' court in ’standing pat on
the 80 per cent valuation basis as re-
ported in a prtvious issue. The conn
fixed the bank values at 80 per rent
of their capital stock, siirplns funds
and undivided profits. The banks,
in presenting their side of the case,
claimed that the basis of valuation
on other real and personal property-
in Denton county ranged from 30
to 50 iter cent or less, and contend-
ed, therefore, that to enforce an 80
peg cent basis on the banks would be
inequitable and d scriminatory. It is
said they were all willing to pay on
50/per cent of their stock, surplus
and undivided profits, and that an
agreement to that effect was proffer-
ed. but not taken.
