PERSONAL PROPER,

We point with no little pride to the good
Judgment of our assessors in this county.
They made their assessment a trifie toe
high; but it is highly credtable to their
judgment that there was change Of only
four per cent on lands and lots, and only
seven per cent. on personal property-de-
auctions in both cases.
And Mr.. James Taylor, for years the
assessor for Edgington, appears to have the
best regulated brain upon the subject OF
assessments, of any assessor in our county,
Our county board added two per cent to
his real estate assessment, and the state
board deducted four per cent, showing
that Mr.. Taylors original assessment was
two per cent, above the state average.
Our county board added nine per cent
to his personal property assessment, and
the state board deducted seven per cent.
showing that Mr. Taylor original assess
ment was two per cent, above the state
average

comes next In the order Of an assessment
