force the board to tax the grain whether II
wishes to do so or not
AT the present time property in Superior
Is not assessed at more than 60 per cent OF
ITS real valuation and the elevator people say
that they Will force the assessor to put every
thing ON the rolls at full value if they are
required to pay taxes at the same kind Of 8

The result Of the vote Of the board Of re-
view Is eagerly awaited as the financial con
dition Of the city depends in large measure
on the disposition of the case.
