untrue that the regents, individually or coliec-
lively, directly or indirectly, have broached the
subject of my resignation, or that I have in
any fashion offered 1t, or had occasion to offer
1t to the board.''

from adjacent property owners annually. The
clergymen say that several petitions have not
been renewed in years.

, BEsSEMER, MICH.-The valuation of the Til

gusted at the action of the board, it means
taxes will be higher than last year, when they

manager of the steel trust, in insisting upon the
reduction. stated that the Tilden was practically
exhausted and would close down, for good another
year. Other taxpayers will appeal to the state
