An enlargement of the sphere Of the duties
of the State board OF equalization is suggest
ed by several instances of apparent injustice
on the part of county equalizing boards. For
instance the appraisal of Bradford was rals-
cd by the Orange county board one hundred
per cent. This is claimed TO be an act of
manifest injustice. To remedy such cases,
or those of an opposite character, it has
been thought that the State board should be
given appellate jurisdiction in the case of in.
dividual towns. The labors of the board
might thus he somewhat increased, hut just
