Objections to County Assessor Bill
Thirty-eiqhth Article

lnITty-eISutn HTIICIS
There are several objections urged
against the county assessor bill which
deserve careful consideration. One is
that the town assessor being a resi-
dent of the town is presumably famil-
lar with the taxable property therein
and therefore could assess it better
than nonresident. This objection,
however, is overcome by the fact that
the proposed county assessor is re-
CURED by law to devote all of his time
the year around to the duties Of his
office, an dto acquiring the same in
formation not only in that town but in
all the towns of the county. This will
enable him, by comparing one town
with the others, to make the county
assessment more even and uniform so
that in short time he would become
more familiar with property in each
town than the local assessor could
possibly be. Giving to this objection
all the force claimed for it, the fact
| remains that the county assessor will
| be better equipped for the valuation
] of the property in each town than the
! local assessor can be, while the in
tluences and conditions which inevi-
tably embarrass the local assessor,
warp his Judgment, and lead to favor
) itism and unfairness cannot to any
appreciable extent affect the county
assessor. Moreover. the county as
SCISSOR will be under the supervision
of the state tax commission, body
having the power to correct his er-
rors, and in case of willful misfeas-
ance to remove him from Office with
the consent of the governor Of the
state and after a fair hearing. Such
supervision will strengthen him in the
4 performance Of his duties, and he will
be more independent of local influ:
ences and in better position to make
a fair and uniform assessment.
i Announcer objection to the proposed
bill is that it ipterferes with the prin.
l ciple OF home rule in the town. What;
ever merit there may be in this objec;
ton loses its force by the fact that
under the proposed bill the town
board Of review will remain substan
TALLY unchanged in its powers and du
tiles. While in many cases these
boards Of review have been of little
| efficiency in the past they will still
i remain with full authority to review
land correct the assessment for tn
town as returned by the county as
q SCISSOR and protect the taxpayers Q
1.-The town from any unfair assessment
thus preserving intact the home ruiz
principle. It is also believed that tn
i existence Of a county assessor vii
I act as a stimulent to these boards t

FIELD and TRACK
MEET AT G. FORKS

Grand Forks, II. D., Feb. S.-May IT
and IS are the dates that have been
fixed for the annual North Dakota in
teracholastic field and track meet, and
the regulations covering that event,
which are being placed in the hands of
the high school athletic officials this
week by the State University, athletic
board, provide a number of new fea-
lures which will make the 1913 meet
more interesting than those held in
previous years. "
r One of the new rules laid down this
year relates to the number Of men
qualified to enter from each school. the
limit of seven men, exclusive of the
relay team, being removed, allowing
the school to enter as many men as
they wish to. Changes are also pro-
vided in the system o. handicaps so
that the smaller schools of the state
will not suffer through the removal of
the limit number.
Last year the Grand Forks, Langdon,
Ninot, Grafton, Pembina, Fargo, Park
River, Cavalier, Jamestown. Casselton,
Hannah, st. Thomas. Williston, Lidger-
wood, Inkster, Cakes, Velva, Churchs
Ferry and Drayton schools were rep
resented. This year Mott, Mandan,
Beach, Bismarck, Wahpeton, Wash
burn, Valley City, and several other
places are expected to send teams.

0RDEMAN WON
FARGO MATCH

50
Henry Ordeman, American heavy
weight wrestling champion retained
his title Monday night when he met
and defeated Sampson, the German
Hercules, in the fastest wrestling ex'
hibition that was ever witnessed in the
gate city, in two straight falls. The
first fall came in 171A minutes with a
half Nelson and bar and the sec
ond fall in 911k minutes with Gotch's
famous toe-hold.
AS soon as Ordeman was announced
winner, Sampson at once signed for
silence and issued a challenge to Orde-
man for Jess Peterson, the Scandi-
navian champion. Sampson admitted
he was beaten fairly and says he will
work hard to regain his lost prestige.
PreIiminaries Made Big Hit.
Prior to the main event of the eve
ming Leo Kossick the pride of the fls-
tic public of the northwest and also
welterweight champion, appeared be-
fore the large audience in a special
star attraction and boxed three fast
rounds with Kid Medford, his sparring
partner This bout can easily be
termed the big hit. The champion
was given big hand when he entered
the ring and his popularity is not
wanting. Leo leaves today on a trip
to Canada, where he will meet some
of the classiest mittslingers in that
neck of the woods. Kid Medford
showed a usual amount of skill and
next to the Moorhead scrapper is rat
ed as. the best boy in this part of the
country.
A. North of Fargo won over KID
Smythe Of Butte, Mont, in one fall
the time being 221s minutes. Owing
to the lateness of the hour the second
fall was not wrestled.

SCHOOL REPAIRS
To COST $4,000
Inspector Hayes Finishes In
vestigation and viii Report
on His Findings Monday.

Building Inspector Hayes told Geor-
gian reporter today that. as a result Of
his inspection, he would report that
the twelve city bond issue schools were
constructed as cheaply as possible and
that in addition to the repairs which
could be required of the contractors
the city would be obliged to spend at
least $1,000 to make them fit for use.
He will report to the board of educa
ton and the bond commission Monday.
These bodies will call upon the con-
tractors to make repairs,
The principal faults Mr Hayes will
report are:
the walls, making the Easements mus
ty and unhealthy.
Walls Are Leaky.
The walls of most of the schools were
built without furring. and the water
leaks through the plastering, discolor-
ing 1t.
Janitors have been using hose in
washing floors, and the water has
poured through into the rooms below,
There are no marques over the
doors, and water beats in during hard
rains and then leaks though into the
basement Most of the plastering is
cracking on account of the shrinkage
of the timbers, as well as on account
of leaks.
The plastering in the Walker Street
school was improperly mixed.

DELUGE IS CAUSE
OF GREAT DAMAGE

Reports from railroads and telephone
companies, slowly coming in today,
show last nights rain deluge was by
far the worst in point of damage and
delay in the recent history Of this part
of Georgia
Washouts on the lines of TIE South

malls from all directions, particularly
from the North, and the malls from
New York. Washington. Baltimore and
intermediate towns were so badly tied
up that they had not reached the Al
lanta postoffice at 10 o'clock At the
postoffice 1t was said that the New
York mail is not expected to arrive to-
day.
In this city the torrents of rain so
cluttered the tracks with mud and
water that seven loaded trolley cars
were off the track al one time and the
schedules on several lines virtually
we're suspended from 80 until II p. m.
At the company's Offices it was said
today that none of the cars was over
turned nor were any of the 800 or more
passengers injured. All were greatly
delayed and many got soaking wet in
attempts to leave the stranded cars
and reach their destinations afoot

Lllburn, "a miles from Atlanta, held up
trains for hours
Southern railroad officials said there
had been no washout on their lines in
Georgia, but they admitted that the
route was pretty badly tied up by
freshets that had inundated the tracks
in North Carolina. They held these
foods responsible for the delay of the
Northern mail, and said they could not
tell when the tracks would be cleared
and the schedule of trains resumed.
Out on the Marietta road four miles
from Atlanta the deluge especially was
destructive Dahrs floral nursery there
is one of the worst sufferers. Water
flowed among the flowers in torrents
and the flood grew so deep that nearly
the whole nursery still was inundated
this morning 1t is said that thousands
of dollars in damage was done there

even heavier rainfall there For eight
hours, without a lull, the water came
down as from a cloudburst Fences

Both the Bell and Atlanta Telephone
Companies report considerable damage.
