Attorney Boatner of Franklin
was here Monday to look into the
injunction proceedings Fl | o d
against the Second Ward election
in which tho firm of The Kyle
Lumber Co., of Franklin was made
party plaintiff. MIR. Boatnsr said
that the matter was submitted to
The Kyle Lumber CO., by Mr..
Williams and they answered they
would look into the matter, but
gave no positive instruction to use
their name in the Injunction and
Mr.. Bortner AS the Attorney of
the Kyle Lumber Co., ordered
that their name be withdrawn from
the suit. We understand that this
firm as we'll as Mr.. Boatner be-
lieve that the canal would be a
good thing for the Second Ward
and the general public.
This is one Corporation with a
soul, and we understand that this
firm has about 1000 acres of land
and is assessed for about $1,000.
The Williams Lumber Co., max
ing the most of the opposition is
assessed for something like $780,
600 and we learn if placed on the
same basis az the Kyle Lumber
Co, would be assessed for S5OO,OO0
This is a matter that will be
looked into at some future time
and The Williams Co., can be as
sured that their assessment IN the
future will be made on just and
real estimation of valuation.

the parishes 80 far reporting show
in tho assessment abstracts for
1909 there is al actual decrease,
in comparison with the total MS
sessment of 1908, of $9,IO3,755.
There are yet the parishes of Ibe-
ria, LivingtOn, Madison, Pointe
Coupee, Sabine, ST. Tammany,
Union and Winn to hear from.
The abstracts from these parishes
have not been received by Score.
tary Curly. These abstracts, how.
ever, are expected in before the
end of the week. 1t is from the
compilations made by Secretary
Curly from the 1909 ATTRACTS that
are now in hand that the fact of
the 100000 decrease for 1909
is learned. Many of the parishes
show a decrease. The Parish of
Calcasieu has an approximate de-
Crease of S., 100000 on the sulphur
mine property, and this accounts
for a big portion of the falling off.
This is the first time within re-
cent years that tho assessment of
the State has shown a decrease.
This is the first time that the
elective assessors system has been

bonds will not amount TO as much
as the rent that is being paid now

county are exposed to fire The build

to build sufficient vaults to protect
the county records from fire and
now since these records with refer
ence to land titles are gone the alb
stract men OF the town want s250.00

iZation board also yesterday.
After the reports of the township
assessors were in II was observed
that the assessed valuation of prop
erty in this county is about two mil
/ lion So-ars less than last year. This
change was brought about not by
property values growing less but the
assessment last year was entirely
too high both in Ardmore and II
all portions of the county. Abou
the only instance where a raise was
made in valuations is in referenc,
10 horses owned in Ardmore. The!
were raised twenty-five per cent
