Explanatory Notes, Table 13

The taxable values presented in this table are compiled from the original published reports of the comptroller and from published abstracts of the reports of that officer. Because of typographical errors in the reports the totals of the years are in some cases different from the sum of the classified items, but these differences are not important.

There was included under real property from 1846 to 1865 only rural real estate; town lots and land certificates were put among miscellaneous property. After, and including 1865, the class of real property includes all land and improvements and land certificates. There was no separate statement of the assessed value of railroads before 1874, and it seems probable that railroads were assessed before that date under the head of real property.

Only the total values for 1862 and 1863 can be given, and these are taken from the synopsis of the report of the comptroller as given in the Texas Almanac for 1864. The almanacs of 1863 and 1864 contain tables of the assessed value of the different kinds of property, but their sums fall so far short of the totals given in the table that classification is not attempted for these years. The assessed value of land in 1862, as reported in the Almanac, was $80,810,890, and in 1863, $108,125,716, but these are below the real amounts.

Beginning with 1909 all of the intangible assets are included under railroad values, except in 1913, when the report' of the state tax commissioner is followed and all but $181,945 of the intangible assets are assessed to the railroads and except in. 1914 and 1915 when the amounts given by the comptroller in a special table are followed.
