"A Springfield telegram to the ST.
Louis Republican. of yesterday says the
state board OF equalization has practical
ly concluded lis labors, and will in all .
probability adjourn su.s die some time
this week. The committee on general ,
equalization made their report on /
Wednesday and 1t was adopted BY the |
board. The repor, gives the per cent to !
be added 10 or deducted from the assessed {
value OF each class Of property in each
county Of the state. Alexander county
seems TO have Jared better than most Of
the other counties, a. there arc ta. three !
which receive greater reduction on
town and city lots, and but tour that
receive greater reduction on lands.
The reduction on the several
classes OF property in Alexan> J
der county are as follows. =
On personal, 20 per cent, on lands IS per q
cent and on town and city lots 81 per /
cent. This we consider a liberal reduc- t
ton, and when the fact that the assess
ment Tor ls17 is $4,000 less than for the G
previous year Is taken into account, the e
taxes in this county ought not to be so :
very high. In Pulaski county "A per a
cent is added on personal; and deductions
on lands and town and city lots 20 and
% per cent rcspectyely.

oil young hoodlums ranging in years

cd upon them, seized the money and re-
treating down Washington avenue took to
