But the new park will please every

to beautify our little city. which is on
the eve of growing daily. when every
thing in the shape Of amel orations

Of about $1O,NO,OOO in asaess-
ments, compared to the assess
ments of 1908 This decrease is
due largely to the reduction in as
sessments on farming lands in the
cotton parishes. Governor San
ders stated to the members of the
Board of Equalization yesterday
in conference that this character
of land could not stand q further
increase. On the other hand, the
decrease in the assessments of
$40, 900, 900 must be wiped out,
and it is reported that the plan Of
the board is to wipe out this de.
crease by raising the assessment .
on tlmbered lands. The commit
tees are down at work now.
