The assessors Of the town OF Mount Pleasant have
passed on sixteen OF the protests made by tax
payers against their increased assessments, and
only few thousand dollars have been taken OF the
roll OF the sixteen. eleven reductions were
granted 10 a certain extent. four were refused and
one assessment was thought to be too low, and was
raised

being from the Nlessrs. Rockefeller. IL would seem
that most of the people Of the township are con-
