New Smyrna board asking that the
two organizations unite in securing
money from the two cities to pay the

cities have been asked to contribute
to the expenses of this committee,
which is to be named by the Central

Hear Complaints of Land
Companies on Monday.

JACKSONVILLE, July 19.-When
che Dade County Commissioners meet
Monday to begin the work of equal
lzing the taxes of the county the
representatives of the Everglade Land
Companies in Dade County will be
present to enter a protest against the
present assessment of the lands held
by them.
A similar case was decided by
Judge Call in the Federal Court here
last week, but ]. M Cobb vice pres
ldent Of the Everglade Sugar and
Land Company, declared that this de-
'cision would not affect the Dade
County companies. Judge Call ruled
against the Palm Beach companies
who were fighting for a reduction in
the valuation of SO per acre. How
ever, the Dade County companies do
not believe they will be bound by this
ruling, as their property is assessed
at IS per acre and is similar to that
owned by the Palm Beach companies.
The County Commissioners are ex-
pecting to equalize the 1918 taxes
Monday, and hundreds Of taxpayers
VIII be present to protest against
present assessments. The Everglade
Sugar and Land Company will be the
largest landowner represented The
company has employed several of the
best lawyers in Miami and expects TO
