Ohio Happenings

Cleveland.-Gross inequalities exist
In the taxing of the railroads operat-
ing in Cleveland, as compared to other
real estate, according to Secretary John
A. Zangerle of the quadrennial board
of appraisers, who has compiled some
interesting figures to prove that while
the railroads are on the city duplicate
for only S4,000,000 they are in reality
worth S40,0O0O 900, ten times as much.
Engineers of the board have been |
at work for several months carefully !
collecting measurements, costs and |
other data of railroad property within |
the city limits. Efforts have been |
made to make the information as ac-
curate as possible. The board has not |
the power to tax the railroads direct, |
but President A. F. May and Secre-
tary zangerle believed that if all
other real estate is to be increased in
| value that it was only fair that the
exact value of the railroads holdings
| should also become known.

and several neighboring women
looked on, powerless to help him ow
ing to high board fence surrounding
the field in which 11-year-old Edgar
Garland and some companions were
playing Indian, the boy received burns
which will result in his death. Young
| Garland with companion of his own
age had been roasting potatoes in
| fire built in the enclosure near his
home. The Garland boys clothing
caught fire. Screaming with pain, he
started on mad race about the field.
The terrified women, attracted by the
child's cries, could not get into the
field without going to the gate at the
far end of the enclosure. BY that
time the child's Indian suit was
burned from his back and he was
frightfully scorched by the flames.
