F. M. Coulter appeared before the
board yesterday and asked the justice
of a $4,000 assessment on stock that had
been issued to members of the firm for
the convenience of the business. As
SCISSOR Ward arose and moved that the
assessment be cancelled.
H. w. Hellman, who was summoned
to show why the assessment on some
of his property should not be raised,
presented a petition for the reduction
of an assessment on Improvements on
the H. w. Hellman building. The pc
tition was approved by the board.
Much Contention
There was a great deal of contention
last night on the part of the corpora
tions of this county on account of ex-
cess valua tion being placed on fran
chises and other property of some and
others having been allowed to escape
taxation entirely.
Under the ruling of District Attor-
ney j. D. Fredericks it necessitated the
assessment of franchises within cor
porate cities instead of at large as here
tofore.
After a great many arguments by
members of the board, assessor and
representatives of many corporations
1t was agreed upon that Mr.. Ward S
figures on franchises of public utility
corporations be cut S5 per cent, thereby
raising the total assessment over last
year about % per cent, this result pro-
duced harmony among all corporations,
assessor and board of supervisors.
Applications on machinery assess
ment reductions made by some of the
electric railways were denied and after

Graham IL was unanimously voted that
the application for reduction upon bank
franchises be denied.

A ROAD PLANE.
implement Which an Ohio Farmer
Is Using to Keep the High
ways in Repair.

Upon the highways adjoining our
farm, we are using a road plane that
keeps the roads in excellent condition
for the travelling public. and Is but
very little labor for us, says George w.
Brown. OF Mount Corey. o., in writ
Ing to Farm Journal. This implement
Is made of two solid oak planks 2xS
inches and nine feet in length, set up
edgewise and framed together by 2xi
scantling. braced in the back with
short iron braces. The lower edges
Of the plank are beveled upon the
back, and are shod by boiling OF tire
iron from discarded grain drill wheels.
An evener and dOubletrees taken from
the harrow complete the outfit. We
hitch our team to this plane and drag
It down one side of the roadway and
back the other side, grading all the
dirt to the center Of the track. When
rains come, the water quickly runs
from the roadway and leaves 1t In good
condition for travel.

International Sunshine Society.

For our object lesson today a clip
ping from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle
gives us an account of what Sunshine
does and hopes to do.
The International Sunshine Society,
of which Mrs. Cynthia WestOver Alden
is president-general, is going to have
Il big hOusewarming Wednesday at
the new home of the Society, CrOpsey
and Twenty-third avenues, Benson
hurst. Representatives of all the 22l
branches in the Southern New York
state division will gather there for
their annual meeting and a sort of
love feast in celebration of this big
event in the history of the society.
The new home is to be a rest home
for teachers, for working girls, officers
of the Sunshine branches and a well
equipped sanitarium with medical di-
rector and trained nurse service for
anyone that wishes to come. This
home is a hope that the International
Sunshine Society has cherished for
long time and its crystalizatiOn quick
Iy followed OH call issued by Mrs.
Alden through her department in the
Ladies' Home Journal.
The capacity of the home is to be
ctretched and stretched, until it can
take in most of the tired and the sick
and the helpless, to whom Mrs. Alden's
heart goes out. Not all, because no
home could probably be found with
such elastic limits. But the great
homestead that is to be used for such
a good purpose has twenty-one rooms,
all of the good Old-fashioned kind,
built before the days of crowding.
1t has twenty-One rooms and chicken
house. 1t is the chicken house and the
big lawn that appeal to Mrs. Alden
almost more than the house itself.
The lawn appeals especially, because
it is big enough to allow for tents
to be pitched or the accommodation
of the overflow of children.

Florida Sunshine.

1t is good to think the more fortu-
nate children in our midst do not for
get the Blind Babies
Let us hope the establishment of a
Sunshine Rest Home at Avon Park
will lead the way to opening others
in this state. We learn that Mrs.
Alden is very fond of souvenir spoons;
Il tiny souvenir of Jacksonville is on
its way to her.
Fewer letters than usual were writ
ten and received during March. Many
acts of kindness, many unique deeds,
many loving and tender thoughts show
ed however that the sunshine spirit
never Jagged. Death came, sorrow
and illness. griefs and loneliness, but
ever the kindly sunshine shed its way
to sOothe and temper the blasts of
desparing griefs.
Some pennies and stamps were re-
ceived, but not enough to send out
the treasures which must go to a dis
tance to cheer summer loneliness. Our
working time is short. Soon the duties
which tie us to the city will unloose.
Let us therefore scatter sunshine for
future dark days.
Any articles for the Sunshine
Bazaar will be welcome and there
should be a generous response that
state dues may be paid. Mrs Bradt

ives. There is also in view a home for
aged people at Saratoga. which has
been offered as a partial gift by an
elderly woman interested in the Sun

1t Is rather wonderful thing that
these big, beautiful works should come
out of an organization that has no
initiation fees. whose dues are merely

ped of all the formality and obligation
OF the usual organization. 1t is known
as a newspaper society. because it
was III newspaper now no longer i'm
existence that Mrs. Alden first started
the work, and it is through two hun
dred newspapers with sunshine col
umnS that the work is chiefly carried
on. Its members are scattered
through every state in the Union,
Many of them only come in contact
with others through letters. vet the
most cordial feelings have awakened
through these letters and the most
beautiful kindnesses have been pas
Sed on from one to another.
When Mrs. Alden first conceived
the idea of the society she set i'm
motion an endless chain of kindness
that has grown and grown until it's
links now are numberless and stretch
to unknown lengths. For ten years

Sunshine Society, discovering that
there were no homes for blind babies
in New York, though there were
places where cats and dogs were cared
for. set to work, and, with the help
of the city officials, whose attention
was called to the need. established the
home it now has. The Sunshine So
ciety is an organization that every
bOdy's sympathy goes out to. Its
purpose and its workings are so simple
