 fact that this was not a regular meet
 ing of the board; that whatever con clusiOns might be reached could only
 be regarded as recommendatio s, and 1 he suggested that such recommenda- tions be made by the representatives of the counties as body into which he further suggested the representa- i tives now resolve themselves. This

 and adopted.

 dressed the meeting, saying that he

 favorable impression of the board of equalization as a part of the terri torisl government. This impression,
 he was pleased to say, had been wholly removed. He offered the following resolution, which was adopted:

 making returns from the various coun- ty boards of supervisors has added to the confusion and misundenstanding ng ! between the, supervisors of the several counties and the territorial board, of equa lizatIon,

 MT. W. B. Frost of Mohave offered the following resolutions:
 Where's, The assessment of prop erty within the various counties should be laid equally upon all and made without discrimination, and
