The matter WAS referred to the FL
nance Committee.
The Re-Assessment.
The committee recently appointed by
the Chamber OF Commerce. to confer
with the Board relative to the reap
praisement OF the value OF property for
purposes Of taxation, were given a
hearing. Chairman N. E. Whitaker
stated that he had not outlined plan
Of action, for the reason that his COM
mittee lacked knowledge as 10 what
steps should be taken to AFFORD relief.
He declared Ohio county to be "a
bearer of wood and carrier Of water"
for the balance of the State. He did
not desire to criticize the Assessor.
who probably did what he deemed to
be right, but he made the fact plain
that the general public sentiment was
that the assessment were too high. He
thought a horizontal reduction should
be made.
The President invited expressions up
on the subject from Others. Mr.. Frank
P. Mcneil wanted to know il the Board
is in position to recall the books from
Charleston, and IL so, whether the as
sessment could be changed. He sug-
gested that the Prosecuting Attorney
be heard.
Mr.. Fritz did not think the Board
had any authority to recall the books,
but stated that ten years ago, when
the fight against the assessment result
ed in substantial reduction for Ohio
county.
Prosecuting Attorney Meyer discuss
ed the act providing for the re-assess-
ment, and stated that any property
owner is allowed year in which to
petition for correction of erroneous as
sessment, and that the Board has the
right to pass merely upon individual
petitions. The Beard had no right to
make a horizontal cut, nor could it
recall the books from Charleston.
President McGregor stated that it had
been insinuated that the Board was
instrumental in hurrying the books to
Charleston, but the matter was entire
ly in the hands of the assessors.
Mr.. McColloch showed that the per-
centage of increase in the county
largely exceeded that of the city. and
asked if the Board had the right to
equalize the assessments. Mr.. Meyer
replied that the act provided methods
for equalization, the State Board sitting
as sort of court of last resort. The
President then stated that it was evil
dent the Commissioners could afford
no relief by means of horizontal cut
but could act on individual petitions.
Senator Whitaker pointed out the
probability that the Board would be
flooded with individual petitions from
citizens. He suggested joint commit
tee to take the matter before the State
u.
of books, to be presented to the Auditor
as corrected List of assessments, and
he thought the Auditor would accept
them when he understood the situation.
President MoGregor thought the as
SCISSORS had not made so many glazing
errors as had been charged.
Mr. Brandfass thought the best plan
would be to correct individual assess
ments, and rely upon the State Board
to make horizontal cut.
The Board adopted motion to ap-
point committee of three, including
the President, to act with committee
from the Chamber of Commerce, in ap-
pearing before the State Board to urge
relief. The committee will be appoint
ed later. 1t was authorized to employ
an attorney, etc.
The Board fixed March 10Th at 10 a.

A Fulton Petition.

A communication of considerable
length, from the Fulton School Board
was read by the clerk. 1t was in refer
ence to the district line, asking that
be changed to Stackyard Hollow, in
stead of its present location, just be-
yond the town of Fulton. The line has
not been changed, but when the dis
trict lines were re-established some
time ago, it was found that Fulton was
getting the benefit of school tax upon
property between Stackyard Hollow
and the town, which in reality is part
of Triadelphia district. The change de-
prives the Fulton Board Of between
$3.50 and $500 year in taxes.
The matter was referred to the spec
ial committee on district lines, appoint
ed some time ago, consisting Of Messrs.
McCurdy, Gutman and McColloch.
The Carnegie Library.
Judge G. L. Cranmer and Col. J. A.
Miller appeared before the Board as
representatives of the Board of Eiuca-
ton. They represented that Andrew
Carnegie would furnish public library
building in Wheeling if site were pro-
vided, and explained the legal status OF
the matter, showing the impossibility
Of the Board furnishing the ground.
They ask that the Board lay special
levy for the purpose of providing a
site. stating that the library would
then be open to all persons in Ohio
county. The committee could not say
what the ground would cost, or that
