chairman Of the board of county COM
missioners. c. I. Hubbard, county COM
missioner, and Joe Stump, county as
SCISSOR, visited Silver City for the pur-
pose of investigating the tax valua-
lions Of that county. They leave today
for Las Cruces TO pursue the same in
vestigatiOns in DOna Ana county. The
board has been sitting as an equaGza-
tiOn board for the past week, and when
the board proposed to raise valuations.
a protest came from a number of prop
ertv holders, the protestants stating
that valuations are exceedingly low all
over the state and that If valuations
were raised in this county, it wOulI
simply amount to Luna county's assum-
ing more than her share OF the burden
The commissioners in order to be able
to place a correct estimate on the JUS
tice of this contention Is visiting the
neighboTing counties to ascertain Just
what value is placed upon property for
taxing purposes. Mr.. Hund, chairman
of the board stated before leaving for
las Cruces, that he found valuations
even lower in Silver City than In Dem
inc. and that if he found this generally
10 be the case over the state, that it
would be useless to raise valuations
here. since there IS no state equaliza-
ton board with power to equalize the
taxes of the various counties. However.
AR Humid said that because it was. not
eNpcdient. I'm such an event, to raise
taxes. still it was wrong in principle for
the various counties to engage in this

where he was partially revived with
the use of a pulmeter. But he is still
in a serious condition. None OF the
