completed its work. Sumner county
asked for reduction Of her personal
property assessment, but the board left
1t unchanged. Sumner county has
rarely Jared well at the hands of the
state board Of equalization, and it

her to dc In the future Is make the as
sessment low enough in the first place

board Of equalization for anything.

beSeiged by school teachers who
have grievances of some sort or
another.
