TO HAVE STREET FAIR.
Will be Held September l q
I6-l9---SolicitinR Com
mittee to Start at Once

At a meeting of the street fail
committee held at the Commercial
club rooms Tuesday evening it was
decided to-. hold a fair on Thursday;
Friday and Saturday, September 17i
18, and 49, This, of course, is or
the presumption that enough money
is raised to pull the affair off properly
Those Of the committee who were
present were Barney Burton, L, @.
Vessel, T. c.. Gordon, A. s. Koslosky,
T. F. Murphy Geo. Emder and w.
H. Ryan. :; T;
The officers Of the association for
the ensuing year will be as follows
President-Barney Burton.
Secretary-T. F. Murphy. : :.
Treasurer W. Emder. -s
After the election of officers the
matter Of holding the. fair was dis
cussed IN general way The main
proposition to be considered was the
raising Of sufficient funds, and it was
decided that the soliciting committee
should get to work at once to ascertain
the amount that can be raised.
When this is done, the committee will
know what length to go in the ex-
penditure for premiums and entertain
ment. Amusements were also dis.
cussed, but this will hinge on the
amount of money contributed.
Committees were appointed as
follows:
General-A. F. Koslosky, W., H.
Ryan, T. C. Gordon, Geo. W. Emder,
T. F. Murphy, L. o. Vessel and B.

The general comittee have decided.
to have regular meetings at which
suggestions will be received. The
meetings will be held the Second and
Fourth Tuesdays in each month.
There is no question, but that it is
advisable to start the thing going as
early as possible. The premium lists
and prizes should be ready in very
short time, so that those who wish to
compete will have plenty time TO
prepare for the event. With the
famers in general striving to make
their stock, grains and live stock pr1ae-
winners, it cannot .helpb but FaiseE
quality of the product in all lines
throughout the county. This alone, is
worth a great deal, and the citizens
in general should put their shoulder
to the wheel and help a good thing
along. The county board has already
shown the right spirit, and at their
meeting Wednesday, donated $100 to
start the ball rolling.

The following is the list of written
instructions given the assessors by the
representative of the Minnesota tax
commission:
1. It is of the greatest importance
that the assessor should place all
property, both real and personal, upon
the assessment books.
2. The assessor should actually
view all property so far as possible.
He should not accept the valuation
placed upon it by the owner, but
should make hi own valuation.
8. The assessor cannot deduct debts
from credits unless the person claim
ing the same shall make an affidavit
required by law.
4 Assessors have no authority to
grant the 500 exemption. All pro-
perty must be listed. The auditor,
not the assessor, grants the exemp-
tions.
5. Land should not be assessed at so
much per acre throughout township,
but each tract should Il be valued
separately. Improvements upon the
land should be assessed separately from
the land. improvements consist of
buildings and permanent structures on
the land. This applies to town and
city lots as WE'LL as farm property.
g. Incorporated banks in the state
are to be assessed according to section
48, tax code. Many private banking
concerns have been incorporated since
the last assessment and will come
under the assessment method described
in the tax code.
Z. Shares of stock in all corpora
tions, whether domestic or foreign,
when the property of the corporation
is not assessed in this state, should be
listed and assessed to the owner
thereof.

Commission Gives In
Structions

The meeting of the assessors Of the
county with o. M. Hall, one Of the
state tax commission, was well at
tended, every town in the county
being represented. Mr.. Hall gave a
general talk on taxation, especially on

towns made on a more equitable basis.
He also explained several matters and
gave them instructions as to how to
proceed with the work. I:
The assessors from the towns Of
Buckman and Leigh will be unable to
serve as they are both town clerks.

has until June 1st to appoint their
successors. If the town board does
not act by this time, the county
auditor will appoint assessors to fill
the vacancies.
After the talk given by Mr.. Hall the
assessors assembled in the court house

they all should work. After some dis
cusslon an agreement was reached
