4 nice question has been raised with
reference to the assessment of the j.
W. Lee stock after the failure. 1t
seems that Assessor Linch assessed

at issue is; was the title of the prop
erty resting in NJ. f. Smith & Co. on
May /, or did it rest in some one else.
NJ. r. Smith n Go. propose to fight
the assessment, and the matter will
come up before the county board of
equalization.

for treatment, in which the venerable
