have been robbed during that time In one
instance the robber dug up almost the entire

EQUALIZATION OF TAxgs.- The act. passed
at the last session of the Legislature, "to
create n Board Of Supervisors in the counties
of this State, aud to define their duties" con
tains the following section;
"SFc -. The Board Of Supervisors shall
act as n Board OF Equalization, ln their re-
,pcctlvc counties. and SHALL after the Assessor
shall have made aud returned al aSsI ssment
Of the uxable property within the county,
convene aud hear and determine any oblcc-
tons To assessments OF property, aud may re
duce or equalzr the value cl such property
| AS the iusuec of the case may require, aud
| they may increase the assessed value Of any
property in the county whenever they believe
il to have been asst ssed at less than is actual
value"
Those highly ntelIig' Mt gentlemen who
constitute our Board Of Supervisors were
perfectly satisfied to pass the Assessmcn, Roll
q" over to the Auditor" without the slightest
alteration, although there are Numerous pal
pable underyaluatiens OF property contained
therein. They say they examined the Roll,
bus theYs must have been gross stupidity o.
culpable neglgeAee on their part, II they
could not have perceived, On the most curse
~ examna,ion that a great deal Of property
had been assessed at ess than It's actual

AN INTERESTING QUESTION SETTLED

AN INTERESTING QUESTION SETTLED
The Panama Star says
son the authority Of Col Lloyd md Capt.
Paimar, who, III 1927. by order Of Bolivar,
made n series Of levels from Panama to Cha
gres, it has been yPry generally believed that
there existed difference Of mean level be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Dc, ans, and
many ingenious theories have been devised
to account for this (supposed) fact, and elab
crate deductions in favor and against the
practical lity Of a ship canal have been
drawn thertfron.
The difference Of the mean height Of the
two oceans was stated TO be % fet-the
Pacific, at Panama, being that much higher
than the Atlantic, Mt Chagr's s.
" II hns been lately dec ded by Col. Totten,
after a series Of careful tidal observations
taken here, and in Aspnwall Navy Bay. J
and connected by accurate levels along the
line of railroad that tie mean height of the
two oceans is exactly the same, although
owing to the difference in the rise Of tide at
both places, there are Of course times when
one Of the oceans is higher or lower than the
other bul their mum teutl, that is to say
their height at half tide, is how proven 10 be
exactly the same.
There is no doubt that Col Lloyd's error
arose from imperfrctiOn IN his Instruments.
and the difficulty he abored under in taking
large number Of observations in which mis-
takes are peculiarly liable to 0ccur.'
