mARIoN,s GOD RECORD.

The visit Of the State Board Of Pub
lie Works and the Investigation Of the
work Of Land Commissioner Lehman
and his able assistants, bring out the
tact in clearer light that the Marion
county assessment was one Of the
best in the State. Very few complaints
have been filed and those we're not Of
very great consequence. That the
commissioners used good Judgment
and were strictly honest and conscien-
!tious in every assessment, has never
been questioned and that the work was
done In a thoroughly business like
wayis shown by the records. Nothing.
but words Of praise has been express
ca by the board over the conditions in.
Marion county. They expressed a high
appreciation Of the thoroughness and
completeness Of Marion county's as.
sessment.
