few can gain an audience with those who
have this in charge and che employed
one OF them and he got a reduction. The
taxes are still high, she says, although the man
who obtained the first reduction has written
that be can get further reduction, but will
expect added compensation. The matter
was referred to the board of reviaion

accorded equal rights to the high and humble
taxpayer alike.
