The tax payers Of Bnothersyalley demand
Of the assistant assessors and commissioners,
when they value the real estate Of the town
ship, TO eqaalize il more justly with the rest
of the county than what il was three years
ago. To show that it was rated much high
er than any other district, / will show u pone
case only. In other districts the school tax
IS levied from 3 TO 6 mills to meet the ordi-
nary school expenses If the director Of
Broshersyalley levy a tax at 6 mills on the
assessed valuation, they would get tax
enough to meet the present school expenses
Of B7otbersvalley. Berlin and -stouycreek
combined don't say that Broihersvailey
is rated to- high, bat In proportion it is high
er than the other districts, and all we ask Of
the assessors and commissioners is to give
Us justice. and please don't pile il too thick
on Brothesyalley.
