An Inquiry.

MIR. A. LAY, SUPERyIsoR--Dear Sir
Tho Oconee News last week contained
an article which suppose was intended
to critioi;,e tho action of your Board OF
Equalizat on. writo to ask you If tho
insinuations aro justified by tho action
of tho Board One item of real estate
on which ] pay taxes was raised. Imade
no complaint by way of appeal, because
had confidence in the Board and sup.
posed it had acted fairly, as it ought to
do, and if it raised any ones property il
was for tho purpose of making it equal
with others property in tho county. II
this end is secured wo ought to be salts,
fiod. l think it is not d surprise that
inequalities may exist when each owner
of property makes return independently
of all others. My observation leads me
to conclude that you want to discharge
your duties in q fair and just manner. ]
know nearly all the members of the
Board and could not think of them as
unfair or dishonest mon. If thoy hayo
acted unjustly to any portion of our citi-
Zens 1 think that you, because of the
position you occupy, ought to lot us
know it. --@. -. ...'~.
Respectfully yours, e..
