CORRECTION OF ASSESSMENTS.


At the meeting OF tho Board Of
Supervisors on the first Monday in
August the law requires that all
desired changes and corrections OF
assessments shall be made. We
call the attention of our readers to
this, as much complaint is made at
tax.paying time of errors in assess.
ments and consequent rrors in
sales that cause so much trouble.
Every taxpayer who is doubtful
about his assessment being correct
should now examine his tax re-
ceipts. The law gives the citizen
this right of having errors correct
ed, and when the opportunity is
neglected the blame cannot all be
laid to the officers. fla change is
desired, on account of the property
changing hands, five days notice
should be given 10 the former own
er that the change will be asked.
Such notice should be given TO an
officer to serve and return, or writ
ten out and service acknowledged
by the party TO whom the notice is
given, so that proof of such service
can be easily made. Those who
have land that has escaped assess-
ment should have il assessed, for
it may get on the rolls, be sol3 and
thus lost without the OSner's
knowledge.
Carelessness in these matters on
the part Of taxpayers is largely
responsible for cOnlusions and
losses by tax sales. Taxpayers
must drop the idea that The officers
are entirely responsible in these
matters, and look after their own
business 10 some extent, or we will
always have trouble with confusion
and errors in assessments and sales.
There has been a great deal of com
plant OF erroneous assessments,
and the first Monday IN August
next will be the time provided by
law for correcting them.

THE PILOT POOL AGAIN.

A BOycOtred Rudder ManipuiatOr
Adopts His own Method of SETTING
Even.
The pilot pool composed strictly of
river men who know the upper rapids
has been organized for the season OF 1898
with the following officers who are the
sole members of the combination:
President Washington Hight.
Vice President W II. Holsapple.
Secretary and Treasurer-Audrew
Coleman.
General Manager -Fuler Smith.
These pilots have agreed upon fixed
rate Of $ for every boat they take over
the rapids. thus reducing the customary
rate 90. Hight and Coleman are, as
they nave been for years, the exclusive
pilots of the two packet companies and
they also have in their hands the plotting
of the excursion boat, Libbie Conger.
As is an annual consequence of the
formation of the rapids pool, bad blood
exists, and those who make it business
t. steer boats across the rapids and are
denied membership in the pool, are up il
arms. So far but one of the excluded
pilots has openly expressed his indigua
