terday to discuss the recent increase of the
assessment roll by the State Board OF
Equalization. Supervisor Eilert, Auditor
Smiley, Assessor Siebe and j. R. Hebb ron
OF the State EqualiZers were present.
Mr.. McKinstry has consented to give hi s
opinion as TO the legality of the increase,
and will have it prepared in full by Thurs
day. Without having examined carefully
into the subject, however. he seemed to
think it legal and must stand. Those who
have paid their taxes and received their re-
ceipts in full will not be affected by it.
Mr.. Hebron proposed that new levy
be made to fit the increase. but Supervisor
Ellert doubted the ability to do that. and
Mr.. Mckinstry did not think it would be
legal. but no steps will be taken until his re-
mort has been received.
