COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Work as a Board of Equalization and
Hold an Important Monthly
Meeting,


all members present. met at 10 o'clock on
Monday last to finish up its work as a Board
of equalization. Responsive to notices pre-
yiously sent out by the Clerk and the Board,
James Nesbitt, n. P. Douley, Henry
Welland, A. S. Thompson and 0ng Chong
Lung appeared in person, to show cause
why their several stocks Of merchandise
should not be raised in valuation above the
amount given in by the assessor. The cases
were taken up one after the other with a
running FIRE of comment from all sides, the
tenor of which was to create mild surprise
on the part of every outsider as to how
small a stock of goods it really takes on
which to transact n comparatively large
business, aud also the astonishing cheapness
of things (alI except freight) under the pres
eut Democratic administration.
The end OF it all was tnat the Board took
an adjournment to inspect the various
stocks and places of business of the merch-
ants above named. At o'clock p. m., the
Board recouyened, and after some discussion
submitted the matter OF raising the valus-
tions To a vote The result was: Nays,
Messrs. Conway aud Syphus; Yeas. John
L. Cook.
). + Wertheimer appeared and again
pressed his demaud for reduction
Of the assessment of d. L. Wertheimer
& Co.. Of DsLamar, from $4,000
to 1900 The request was denied
the board being under the belief that the
stock usually carried by the firm would cas-
lily bear the present assessed valuation.
This ended the sitting of the equalizing
roll remains practically as given in by the
Assessor, Prudential.
The board then preceded with its regular
monthly business Henry Rice was present
and asked for second appropriation of $50
for State Line road. The money was nnt at
once forthcoming and he vas advi I'd to
have "a road district l1rmed f-r tne benefit
Of that particular section. A petition for
that purpose was prepared aud sab b. sub
mitted at the uext sitting OF the b1urd. A
petition signed by nearly all the Taxpayers 5
of Panaca, vas presented, asking for the ap
pointmeut Of a Deputy Sheriff for that place
and for the ALLOW anca of $50 salary for the
appoiutee per month. IL was urged that
the large amount Of transient travel through
Pauaca, renders it necessary that Peace
officer reside there. The law was look ed
"a.
as the appointment Of deputies lies with the
various officers themselves aud not with the
Board, and that the Commissioners can
allow salary for but one Deputy Sheriff,
which it is now doing for the town of De.
Lamar.
