.EQUALIzERS MEET
But DO NO WORK
STATE AUDITOR STILL LACKS
COUNTY REPORTS.
Rule Is Adopted to Devote Forenoons
to Board Sessions and Afternoons to
Committee Wor-Committee on Cor
porations Will Not Meet Until Next
Week-List Of Committees.

The state board of equalization met
today in it's, first business session, and
tho 1t sat till noon, accomplished lit
tie beyond preliminary work. .ss~
The chair announced w. A. Harden
burg of st. Paul as reading clerk, and
w. R Hodges of Sleepy Eye as record
ing clerk. There are still a couple of
counties whose abstracts are not in the
hands of the state auditor, and hence
the state totals cannot be made with
exactness in any of the various classes.
Last year the board met in the re-
firing room of the senate. This year
tiers, the main hall Of the artroom on
the third floor of the building.
Only Halliday Sessions.
A motion by Mr.. Hardenburg of st.
Paul was unanimously adopted to the
effect that the board shall meet every
day at $3.50 am. and continue in SEES
sion till pm, and that the afternoons
be given to committee work. This
probably: means that the democratic
board will not hurt itself in trying to
Guido its republican predecessors in
hard work; that the board will meet
really, for half day sessions, for the
committee meetings amount to little
after the first week.
One of the most important commit
tees is that on corporations. This COM
mittee will not meet till next week.
1t is likely the public service corpora
lions will not be considered until the
board has about completed all its other
work.
