This is the last day of the life of
the board of equalization. At no
other time since the board COM
menced The operation of scanning
the assessment rolls and hearing
kicks, has there been such a plen-
titude of protestants in the ante
room as was there at 10 o'clock
this morning.
Business men, who are reputed
to be very careful about matters
of finance and the odds and ends

hour. Among the callers this morn.

d. Jones wanted his property on
the listed rolls at $4,000 out down
more than half to $4,000. Gardner

case, and even the equalizers them
selves are sweating. Very little
have they accomplished in the way
Of disposing Of the kicks and very
little time can they give each case.
In the last few days they have had
no executive sessions. 1t is ex-
pected that the result of all this
crush will be to throw many Of the
kicks into the compla cent hands of
the majority Of the board of county
commissioners. to exercise their
fundamental authority to order
stricken from the rolls any unjust
assessment.
The upshot of this 18th hour
gorging Of complaints was that at
noon when the equalizers adjourned
it was with the understanding that
no more complaints would be heard
unless before 3 o'clock some really
meritorious kicks had come in.
