Grand County Equalization Board Give Lumbermen Little Relief-Pine Bluff Companies Affected.

Sheridan, Ark, Nov. 9.-At an ad- journed term of the Grant county court yesterday the county equaliza- tion board being present, the protests of the various lumber companies do- ing business in Grant county against the raise made by the equalization board in the assessed valuation of their lands, were heard and acted up on. Representatives of the Sawyer Austin It.f .er Co.,, the Stewart, Alex ander Lumber Co.,, the William Far rell Lumber Co.,, the Frank Kendall Lumber Co.,, and Hamlen & Sons, were here.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1909-11-10

The alnds of these companies have always been assessed at $1.50 an acre for timber lands.
 The late equalization board raised this to $4 on timber lands and let the cut over land stand as it was.
 A compromise was effected yester- day, however, by reducing this to s3.5O on timbered land and by leav- ing the cut-over land as it originally stood. These companies own about 100000 acres of land in this coun- ty.
 Rufus G. McDaniel, secretary of the state tax commission, and Com missioner David \. Gates were pre- sent at the hearing.
