GI3Oe3 It seems almost Incredible that such record
sl1ud appear vet II is fact that while in II years the
values In NewYork City said TO he Increased 200 per
cent the values in the SO other Counties returned
having increased only per cent!
The result OF this disprOportonate increase in
values, for which the state Board of Equalization has
not made full allow has been TO call down upon the
taxpayers OF this city almost Onea of the entire debt
and expense OF the State Government and institutions.
In fact but for the tcrpOstOn OF the power OF your
Board the people OF this city would this year have TO
nav over one half Of that debt and those expenses
The Association would urge upon you the iusuce and

Trout Raising in Pennsylvania


trout Raising III fchnsyNaiiia,
A correspondent OF The Eimira Ad
rertlser, writing from SecIy Creek,
gives the following account OF trout
raising in that place: "We lately saw
at the fountain bead of Seely Creek s
fine tributaries, between eight and ten
thousand real genuine healthy specified
spring water trout. These troutlcts
were about an inch in length when
seen by us, and although we were una
ble to count the pile, should Judge the
number estimated to be correct. This
tine show of trout is the astonishing
result of an enterprise inaugurated the
past autumn by DIR. Eldridge of EImi-
ra. The doctor has an extensive farm
in Wells, Pa. situated about three and
half miles south of the State line,
and upon the farm are pure springs of
water and the doctor thought why not
have in abundance of these delcio us
fish. and Immediately acting upon the
suggestion, obtained the experienced
counsel of John King, the trout king
of America, and has succeeded thus far
beyond his most sanguine expectations.
The pond is about forty feet long by
twenty in width, strong and perma-
