occasioned by the uncertain conditions Of
the Dow liquor law and the taxes which &C.
crue from the act, provided it is decided
legal, is creating serious difficulty through
out the state. Municipal boards of taxation
are in a quandary as To how to act, whether
to increase the present levy or lower 1t, in
anticipation of the Dow tax. The tax, il
collected, would place large amount Of
money in the Golfers Of every city treasury

having adjourned until Sept 20 The
statutes do not cover the case, but it can be
done by the unanimous consent of the
judges, Which Will be asked
