man who. as the head of great state.
has practically applied in that state for
the benefit of the people of that state

ASSESSOR TO VALUE
 NEW IMPROVEMENTS

From Saturdays Daily.
 Although 1912 is an off year for the assessment of real estate, the law requires that any improvements made on lands or lots during the year shall be added to the assessment of the property, and Assessor W. N, Jones will sit at the courthouse Monday and Tuesday of next week for the pur- pose of receiving valuations on this class of property.
 The assessor states he has list of all houses in the course of construc tion on the first Monday in June, 1911, and those that have been built since that time, and unless the prop erty owners give in the figures them selves, he will be compelled to place his own valuation on the improve ments.

MEET TO REVISE
 ASSESSMENTS WATERWORKS DISTRICT
OF ASSESSORS WILL CONVENE AT COURTHOUSE
 AUGUST 12.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
 A meeting for the purpose of revis- ing the assessments of Waterworks Improvement District of Conway will be held by the board of assessors of the district, w. B. Wilson, J. H. Hartje and J. H. Bailey, at the court house on Monday, August 12.
 This meeting will be one of much interest to several of the owners of real estate in Conway, who objected to the assessments placed against their property when the district was created in 1910, and who claimed they were not given a fair opportunity to present the:r protests before the as- sessment was closed.
 Formerly, after the assessors of an improvement district had once fixed the assessments there was no way in which they could legally be changed, but an act passed by the legislature of 1911 provides for an annual meet IHS O1 Illc DOdI u Ol dSScSSOlS dC WHICH any or all of the assessments may be re-adjusted.
 In revising their assessments, how ever, the board is not permitted to make greater aggregate reduction than the aggregate increases by req son of improvements or additions placed on the property within the district. In other words, extra as- sessments may be placed on all lots on which new buildings have been erected since the first assessment was made, and the total increase thus made may be used in reducing the as- easements on lots where the first as- sessment is shown to have been er- roneously placed too high, or on lots where buildings have been destroyed and not replaced.
