birds are killed the farmer is left az the

mud Is put near for them 10 build With.
Boxes for martins should be on top Of

complaint To this provision, too
the farmers are indebted that real
estlte in the growing towns is now

value rather than at nominal figure
as was too often the case under the old
law as It was administered.
The Review reminds us Of its crit
cigms In days gone BY Of the action
Of The Republican Board of Public
Works in reducing railroad property
assessments, and, very uniustly, acus
es the Independent and the Register

Our contemporary. should be fall
enough to admit that under the old
law, as administered, the Democratic
Boar. was as culpable in under-valu
ing railroad property as the Republi
cans were, neither assessing the prop
erty of the railroads at more than 9
small fraction of its true value. Moth
ing is to be gained by taking a parti
san view Of this matter when 1t Is Sc
clear that the two parties assessed
the railroads at substantially the same
figure. Dy both the railroads of the
State were assessed, in round numbers
ct about as or Sc millions. 1t was moi
until the new laws required railroad
and all other property to be assessed
at its true anda ctual value that rail
road assessments were brought up t
about 175 millions.

turned upside down, and is in such 9
state Of confusion that no one can tel
