THE BOARD OF REVIEW
County Commissioners Hear State
ments of Mortgage Holders
Many Present at Session.

Yesterday afternoon there was a
larger attendance at the session of the
county commissioners, sitting as the
board of review, than was ever be-
fore known in Alexander county. The
board had notified the mortgage hold
ers of the county to appear and show
cause why. their mortgages should not
be assessed for taxation. Many per.
sons were on hand yesterday to ex-
plain or 10 object A good many mort
cages still standing upon the records
were found to be paid off and the
boards notice served to bring about
numerous entries of satisfaction up
on the margins of the mortgage rec
ords which the paidoff mortgages
had previously neglected to make.
( Quite number of the holders of
mortgages protested against the pro
posed action of the board. Mr.. An
gus Leek appeared for several of
these DIRECTORS. II was urged that
If the mortgages are to be taxed that
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
in the savings banks should be as
ssssed against the depositors; that
merchandise stocks should be assess
ell on a higher basis and that there
should be a general bringing out OF
personal property now escaping taxa
ton. It was further stated that II
mortgages are to be taxed strictly as
provided by the statute. that money
would be hard for borrowers to get
except at the banks: that in the city
of Cairo a seven per cent loan, II as
sessed at the full rate of one-fifth.
would only net the lender 5lz per
cent and a six per cent loan would
net but AZ per cent: that this would
result in forcing the borrowers to pay
the tax because money lenders In this
community could not afford TO hold
loans that bring but AZ to 5 per cent.
Much interest has arisen over this
question. but what the board will do
has not yet been announced. The re-
viewers will be in session again this
afternoon
