 The Board of Relief was in session yesterday at the Town house. for the second time. All the members were present.

It is thought that the board of equalization has smoothed away many difficulties.
 Yesterday some of the professors at the Hargrove school amused them selves by making a heroic statue of President-elect Taft, out of snow which was placed in the front yard and faced the west. It was by no means a bad piece of work and at- tracted much attention from the oc- cupants of passing automobiles.
