 ARE HERE TODAY
CONTEMPLATE RAISING COUNTY VALUES TO $so,ooo, ,ooo-IN SEs- SION AT THE BOARD OF REvE-
 NUE OFFICE.

The state tax commission will meet with the Board of Revenue this morning at 10 o'clock to discuss increasing the tax valuations in Jefferson county. This com mission is only recently organized and is composed of three members. Judge J. J. Mitchell of Florence is chairman of the board and the other two members are J. B. Powell of Greenville and Col. liar vey E. Jones of Montgomery.
 It is understood that the board will make a great extension in valuation. This years valuation as compared with last year will amount to somewhere in the neighborhood of $70,0O0000. It is un- derstocd that the board will recommend that this be increased to $80.O00000.
 ne board has absolute control over these matters and can enforce the raise in the rates and if it makes the recom- mendation to the county board and the board does not care to enforce it, then the commission can enforce it themselves.
