ever before. Already there have been
filed with Collector Davis checks aggre-
eating sufficient to meet the city's
December interest obligations.

complaint about their valuations The

this year in levyfng assessments. In all
parts Of the city valuations have been
equalized. There has been a falling OFF
of-s2 000. COO in valuations in the lower sec
tion Of the city. This is due to steady
depreciation
The Tax Commissioners do not expect
that there will be many appeals from real
estate assessments. They do think how
ever, that the personal taxes will ne APP
pealed from by the wholesale. The Board
Of Appeals will meet for the first time
Friday afternoon. December In order
to be prepared for the rush TO pay taxes
