TO RAISE TO
FULL VALUE
Equalization Board Under Oath
Must Put Market Values
Down For Property
(From Tuesdays DaIly)

ltrpm Iuebuay Ddlly)
Full rendition. and full value, II
the renditions are not that way, is
the policy which the county board
OF equalization must follow in It's de-
alterations tho rest of the week. The
board convened this morning and is
now going over the rolls turned over
to It by the county assessor, Just
how extensive the changes which the
board will make cannot be told until
their work has proceeded further,
But the oath which each member OF
the board took is proof that the
full rendition order will figure in
the work this year. The iron-clad
oath which the members took is as
follows:
True and Market Value,
81, a member of the board OF
equalization OF Potter county, for the
year 1908. hereby solmenly swear
that in the performance OF my du-
ties as a member Of such board for
said year will not vote to allow
any taxable property stand assessed
on the tax rolls OF said county for
said year at any sum which / believe
to be less than It's true market value,
or II it has no market value then its
real value: that / will faithfully en-
deavor and as member of said
board will move 70 have each item
of taxable property which ! believe
to be assessed for said year at less
than its true market value or real
value, raised on the tax rolls to what
| believe to be its true cash market
value, II It has market value, II
not, then TO It's real values, and that
/ will faithfully endeavor to have
the sassessed valuation OF all proprty
subject to taxation within said coun-
ty stand upon the tax rolls OF said
county for said year at its true cash
market value or II II has not market
value, then It's real value. ! further
solemnly swear that / will faithfully

Too Broad an Assertion.
One part OF the oath, as originally
outlined, the members OF the board
declined to take. According to Il
the member swore that he had rest
all the constitution and statutes rela
tive to the valuation OF taxable prop
erty and that he understood them
In view Of the mass OF statutory anC
other provisions bearing on the sub
ject and the various interpretation
which have been put upon parts o
them, it is not surprising that thu

West Florida is coming into her

world is finding out our great wealth
OF resources, and il is only ques-
tion of a few years until our terri
tory will be developed as has no other

1t is noteworthy fact that our
financial and business institutions
have suffered as little from the de
pressions OF the past few months as
any in the country. and | can say for
my own county that We have had
little to indicate hard times. Many
new buildings have been built, new
industries are springing up, and the
two new railroads keep pushing to-
ward the gulf.
In keeping with the wave of pros
perity which is sweeping over the
gulf coast section, is the desire on
the part of property owners to beau
tify their premises by painting their
buildings, and planting ornamentals.
This is as it should he. Nothing en-
hances the value of a piece of prop
erty more than a beautiful lawn
properly set to grass. trees, vines, and
shrubbery. Nothing makes a city
so attractive as well kept parks and
an abundance of shade trees.

essential to the beautifying of any
splot of ground. its soft, green, velvety
