and $2,so7,o7s.
This Is the year the board of tax
book supervisors raise the assess
ment and the basis of real estate
values fixed by the board in January
will stand for four years. For this
reason Assessor Dick is not disturb

the board to make such changes as
IL may desire. The board is composed
of e. G. Boone. Richard Holland and

A block chart OF the city will be
used by the board and valuations
