(Bv the Associated Press

Washington May S.-From calculations
made today by the officers of the local
citizens committee and Quartermaster
General Burroughs, of the G. A. r., it
is concluded that the crowd in attend
ance at the 1902 eneampmeut of the
Grand Army in this city will surpass
that of any previous Reunion or any
gathering of any nature in the national
capital.
AS special features of the en-
campment it is proposed to decorate ali
the public buildings on a scale hitherto
not attempted, to erect a court of honor
in front of the White House, SC have
parades of the regular army. the militia
and the sons. of veterans in addition to
that of the veterans, to have military
pageant representing the successive wars
of the United States. to dedicate monu-
ment to DR.. F. H. Stephenson, founder
of the G. A. r., and to lay the corner
stone of the memorial bridge across the
Potomac, between the Washin ston menu
ment grounds and Arlington cemetery.
This last project rests On proposed ac-
ton by Congress- President Roosevelt
has manifested the most hearty app"o-
val of the encampment preparations and
stated that he will SO shape his plans as
to assist in every way possible.

distinctions to List Takers.

The North Carolina Corporation Com
mission, in it's capacity of State Tax
Commission, has sent out instructions to
the list takers in the various counties.
These instructions state that all property
subject to taxation must be placed on
the tax list at its true value in money,
and further say:
ut has been claimed that there is a
rule in North Carolina among assessors
and lax listers to Intentionally under
value property, and instead of putting 1t
on the list at its true value in money, to
assess it at twothirds or three-fourths
of is value. This is a remarkable con-
tention in view of the tax laws that have
existed in North Carolina since the Con-
stitution of 1868; but if such rule ever
did exist in the State. or in any part OF
it, there can be no excuse for it in the
future"
The Revenue and Machinery Acts are
very fully explained, and all exemptions
are noted.
