have sought to have the value OF assessed real
estate reduced s5o,ooo 600 from the values as re-
ported by said county Assessors In ls70 The State
Board granted a reduction OF near twenty-five mil
lions of dollars but this Is not satisfactory to the
taxpayers. The average taxation In twenty coun-
ties OF the state, as compared with the real value,
is less than twentyfOur per cent while Kings
county Is taxed ffty-s.x per cent-ten per cent or

any chances with the Elliott, brought her
back to this port and commenced adding
to her cargo, and will not leave until the

The Dexter came to the landing and COM
