FEW ASSESSMENTS REDUCED
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CON-
CLUDES ITS WORK.
But Few Applications Granted
None Were Asked For
Large Amounts.

The Board of Supervisors last night
completed its work of equalizing the
county assessment roll, after a session
of upward of two weeks The applica-
ticns for reductions numbered forty,
and just one-half of them We're denied.
The reductions allowed on the other
twenty applications were not in most
cases granted as asked for, but gener-
ally for less sums. There We're no APP
plications for reduction amounting to
more than a few thousand dollars.
Just before the board adjourned
County Assessor Berkey warmly thank
ed the members for the courtesies
shown him during the session, which
had been singularly free from unpleas-
ant or annoying disputes, SO often in
cdental to the revision of the Assess

spirit, and on his motion the board ten
dered Mr. Berkey a vote of thanks for
