The board of relief was In session nearly
all of yesterday and many of the property
| owners who have been raised In their
| assessments appeared before the board In
several cases to demonstrate against the
increase. One humorous feature was the
appearance of one of the residents of the
plains who was indignant at the change In
the figures on his property and 1t took
some time to convince him that he was
lsboring under Misrepresentation, as the
facts of the case are that his assessment
was 5000 less than on last years list. When
it dawned upon him the true state Of affairs he
changed his tactics and invited some of his
friends out to take something" The board
has been earnest in its work and will
show a decided increase in the figures Of the
grand list. Several pieces eff property have
been found that have never been put in the
grand list. There has been large Increase in
many cases. H. F. Halls property shows an in
s1so 600, an Increase Of sisoGo. Simpson, Han.
Miller & Co figures are now $4,000, an Increase
of $4,000. D. z. Morris has been raised 5000.
