ABOUT FARM ENGINES

Time OF ignition refers TO the point

ile gases are isnited or set on ilre.
NJ gasoline engines fire their
charge shortly before the end of tho
compression stroke. but the exact
point OF ignition Will vary with dM-
tffnni engines Az first thought II
might occur to us that 1t is unwise to
FIRE the charge before the piston

Crow of the first division of the circuit court on the motion to quash the rule nisi issued recently by Judge Crow against the board of state tax com missioners in reference to the reassess- ment of taxes and property valuations Tn Jefferson county after these valuations had been made by the county board or revenue. The motion to quash was filed few days ago by Attorney Jesse Stallings and Frank S. White, Jr., for the state tax commission.
 The litigation grows out of the att tempt of the state tax commission to re- open tax valuation cases in this county after they had been settled by the county board of revenue In the recent list of increased tax valuations filed by County Back Tax Commissioner Allen 1t was claimed by MT. Allen that the board or revenue refused certain cases where the property valuation was raised and In which such a refusal was in error. The state tax commissioners then came to Birmingham and reopened their cases and the rule nisi proceedings resulted.
 Judge Crow stated last night that he had the arguments made by the attorneys under consideration and would render his opinion within the next few days, he hoped by Monday The rule nisi was is- sued by Judge Crow following peti- ton from the property owners involved Among these are the following:
