view, is valued at so. 396. 075. Last year the

These figures. without an explanation, are
misleading. The fact is hat the increase
is considerable, for under the new law
many corporations that last year, and al
ways before. were assessed by the County
Board of Review, are now assessed by the
State Tax commissioners. Last year the
