Have continued in session this
week.
Some omitted property in Jasper
was found, amounting to total OF
about Sc, 900, SO that the total oil
the town will be about $50, 100
larger than last year.
1t accepted the return Of Birds
|eye as returned by the township
Assessor, there being an increase of
ia ,61O over last year.
1t examined Madison township
assessments, several citizens being
present, and after considering that
there had been a good deal of loss
in personal property since last as
sessment, it was decided that Madi-
son township be raised on personal
property 10 per cent, except notes,
mortgages, money, and trust funds.
The raise in Madison will be about
$6, 500, leaving it lower than last
year nearly $1S, 900.
1t raised cambridge township
about 10 per cent, on personal
property, except that with unchang-
able value. The raise will amount
to about $1,000 in the township,
and will leave it about the same as
last year, after deducting property
since then annexed to Jasper.
1t looked after the returns of post
able engines, threshers and clover
hullers, and raised some Of the as
sessments on them, and determined
they should be assessed about the
same all over the county.
On Wednesday the Board took
up Hall Tp., the TIP. Assessor be-
ing present. Upon examination it
was found that the assessment was
fair, and about just, after raising
some that were found too low. The
township will be about $4,000 less
than last year, as some heavy tax
payers have left the township.
The Board will likely be in SEES
sion until next Tuesday, when il
expires by limitation.

West Lackawanna gaining momentum
rapidly. What was the horror of the
passengers, of whom there were sever
al, to see coming over the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western crossing, a
Swetland street car and a collision
seemed inevitable. Some remained
seated while others considered ire

jumped or fell on. The car sped on,
with the motorman vainly struggling
for control. The motorman on the
other car grasped the situation and
backed his car out of harms way, and
the runaway stopped just beyond the
crossing.
None of the passengers who got off
so percipitately were seriously injured
Attorney c. E. Oliver was bruised and
Jared. James Airley, jr, was more
