MEMBERS TELL STORIES
WHILE CLERK READS ON
EQUALIZATION BOARD PAYS LIT-
TIE ATTENTION
Eleven of the Twenty-three Tax Books
Still Remain to Be Read-Then
Will Come the Filing of Pro-
tests

The second day of the city board OF
equalization passed yesterday without
an event worthy of note except that
Dock Hough ton told two new funny
stories to the assembled members Of
the board. If it wasn't for Dock
Houghton and his monkeyshines the
members of the board feel they would
have most tedious time of it.
Six more books were read yesterday
morning, although not one member OF
the board heard Clerk Weeks as he
monotonously numbled over dry de-
scriptions of the northwest quarter OF
the southeast section of something OF
other. When he raised his voice a
little in the midst of one of Houghton's
stories, he was peremptorily told to
make less noise about 1t.
There remain eleven of the twenty
three books to read and this reading
will be concluded by Friday, when pro-
tests will be given consideration.
1t is possible that by next year the
farce of reading tax books will be
dispensed with, for Councilman Smith
chairman of the board, declared that a
new charter was necessary If for moth
ing more than to amend the duties OF
the board of equalization and to cut
out the reading of the tax books.
Only eight formal protests have so
far been filed, but the big property
owners, who complain most bitterly, do
not file their protests until near the
close of the session. If the work of the
board is to be gauged by the demands
for reductions already made, the mem
bers feel they will be entirely through
by Saturday afternoon.

found Hull there instead of the woman
