ton.
The assessors have turned in their books,
but the pages Of the latter do not disclose
to a casual observer that the assessment
as proposed is much nearer a fair one than
was that Of last year. Some at the court
house assert that there Is a million-dollar
raise in the total valuation Of the county,
and others that this raise amounts to ten
millions instead of one, but corroboration
Of either statement is lacking and will
be until the force in the tax department
can check up the books and foot the re-
equalization tables.
The commissioner sat as a board OF
equalization yesterday morning for the Hrst
time and organized by ~electing Mr.. Ostrom
chairman. Adjournment was taken until
Thursday, but the books are open to In
spection from now on and any so desiring
may examine them and file protests at any
time.
A long table has been brought into the
commissioners chamber expressly for the
convenience of those with troubles to tell.

Below are given some of the returns made
this year by the assessors, together with
the assessment as finally fxed by the

should be borne in mind that this is for
