erty that escape taxation are prOm:s-
sorry notes, bonds and stocks. Electric
light company stock is assessed OH
$72l,715; water companies stock on
S525, 635; gas companies stock, on $316,-
/ 100; other companies stock, $685., 431;
while railroad bonds are taxed only on
s62,249, and other bonds on $6S, go Yet
the bonds issued by the steam rail
road companies and the electric rail
way companies amount to $4,000, 900.
Then. in addition. are State, county and
municipal bonds and the bonds of
water and electric light companies and
other corporations. This is a practical
exemption Of very large amount Of
personal property and other property
has to pay more than its proportionatc
part of the taxes. This unequal taxa
ton causes discomfort and complaint.
The local assessors, apparently. do not
get full and accurate information a s to
the pulp and paper mills. cotton and
WOODEN mills and other corporations.
and in many cases do not assess these
corporations at full market value. If
the annual statement of these corpora
tons made to their stockholders were
also furnished to the local assessors
they would be able to value the prop
efty more accurately. Returns like
those required from railroad companies
would give the desired informa ton.
While the present laws and conditions
remain it is not probable that the local
assessors will reach and tax the prop
erty that now escapes taxation. That
these conditions should be changed so
that so large an amount of property
should no longer be practically exempt.
seems very Clear

Yesterday, at about P. NJ, Joseph

knew that Esterbrook was near there
between those hours. he mistrusted
that he might have taken it. He could
find nothing of him and about 9
o'clock yesterday morning placed the
matter in the hands of Marshal Breen.
Marshal Breen at once sent word to
Gardiner. and before noon Esterbrook
was arrested. wearing the overcoat
He was with a man by the name Of
Rice at the time. and as he said that
he bought the coat of man he did
not know. Rice was not held. After

as witness, at least. but he had
skipped and could not be found.
When brought before Judge An

He said that he put the coat
on at the car station on

was corroborated by Mr.. Davis. who
owned the boarding house where the
two men stopped. but he said that Ics-

that he tried to borrow 80 cents of

improbable that he had two dollars to
pay for the coat and sentenced him to
60 days in Jail.

board has given especial attention to
the wild lands and has visited the eight
counties containing them, holding
meetings therein which were attended
by the county commissioners and the
owners of the wild lands.
AS the valuation of the local assess
ors for 1898 are $l0,111 1902 above their
valuations of 1898, the State valuations
is not as much above them as il has
been in previous valuations. The local
assessors have affixed values to prop
erty nearer a full market value than
heretofore. and thus the valuations.
made by the boards of the cities and
towns and the valuations of the local
assessors are brought nearer together
