A DAY WITH BANK APPEALS.
Tax Commissioners Have a Dry Session
-TO-Day's Programme.

The Tax Commissioners had rather a
slow day of it yesterday. but business will
liven up considerably this morning. Henry,
Gray & Co.. the Gosport bankers, who
were assessed at 1854 by the Owen coun-
ty board, wanted a cut of nearly $1,000,
saying they had only $7S5 worth of prop
erty that should be taxed. They urged
that a proper construction of the law
would allow them the deduction requested.
The First National Bank of Aurora
asked the commission to knock off s15, 900
worth of and which it owns in Arkansas.
Its capital stock is S100, 900, it is assessed
at $4,000 and wants to pay on 1000.
This appeal is in the nature of a test case.
The bank pays taxes on the land in Arkan-
sas and the $4,000 invested in this land
IS part OF its capital stock and should not,
the bank officers hold, be doubly taxed.
Cashier Myron Campbell, of the South
Bend National Bank, wants the indebted
ness OF the stockholders to the bank de-
Quoted from the assessment Of its CAPT
some years ago on this very point was in
favor of such a deduction.
Tn First National Bank of Plymouth,
Marshall county, was returned by the
county assessor at $3.50. The County
Board of Review raised it to $4,000. and
the institution was before the commission
ers trying to convince them that the as
SCISSOR was right. and that $3.50 is all
the bank should be taxed upon.
The Indianapolis Water Company is
down for a wrestling match with the COM
missioners to-day. The latter took under
consideration the several BAN appeals of
yesterday.

him 10 become the cOmpany's president.
Since his return home, he added, others
similarly interested resident in this cOun-

that he had not signiied his Willingness to

When the flowers are going to sleep;
You shut your eyes and listen awhile
To the little night birds peep
And then YOU roll and roll, and roll
Down into that valley sweet,
Where the fireflies dance with their fairy
lamps.
While the angels their night watches
keep.
Don't omen your eyes or you won't get in
Past those sentries of drowsy sleep,
Who guard this city from waking eyes,
And from even the eyes that peep,
Then. hush, and listen, down you roll.
For the gates are opening wide;
You can hear the bells OF the fairy elves
As far through the valley they ride.
Then roll. and roll. and roll. and roll
Down into that valley so deep,
Where the fairies dance with their FREELY
lamps,
When the children are all asleep.

Account OF the or gin of Their Various



Names.
The first discoveries of Lake Ontario
gave it the name saint LOUIS" another
party OF travellers called it "Frontenac,' -
after the great pioneer. Then came the
English, who preferred to call it "On-
tario' or "katarakui." George Wash
ington, in his journal as surveyor, gives
il both these names. Ontario proved
the more popular. however. and was nnaI-
ly adopted.
Lake Huron was named after the fam
Gus Indian tribe that lived upon its Dor
ders- In Washingtons journal it is men
toned "Onatoghi," or Huron"
Lake Michigan was for many years
called Lake Illinois," from the tribe of
Indians who lived near 1t. In l7l9. the
pioneer Sener gave it the present name Of
Michigan; and this was ratified by Charlie
NoiN. in 17s4.
Champlain was the first one to describe
Lake Superior. and on his map it is called
theirs called il Tracey or Superior"
The English Sener called il 'Nadons-
sions." another title for stone" Late
in the last century it received its pres
ent name. and the matter was decided by
the government on the early maps of sur
vey.
Lake Erie was often called The Cat"
"Felis." or 'Du Chat" from one OF the
names of the Erie tribe. who lived on it's
banks. Sener. in 1919. called it also cad
aragua," a name sometimes given TO on
tario. Washington's journal names 1t
''OsiIwego' Its present name became
fixed soon after by appearing on the ofli-
cial maps.
