MORE KICKS BEFORE
 STATE EQUALIzERS
United Verde Railroad and Santa Fe Present Objections to Assessed
 Valuation.

The state board of equalization held the second meeting of the present sea son yesterday morning and heard ad ditional complaints this time from the United Verde and Pacific railroad and the santa Fe system again. The com plaint of the United Verde road is that il has been assessed entirely too high and away above it's cash value.
 l.. II. Chalmers, appcaraing for the Santa IFe system stated that the valua- tion placed upon lots in the town of WinSloW for city purposes was entire ly too high and ought to be lowered, and asked that the state board lower the valuation.
 F. A Sawyer, prominent democrat of the northeastern part of the state. who is also extensively engaged in the wool industry appeared before the board and asked for revaIuation on his sheep as they were also too high The board heard the compalnts. had a stenographer reduce the same to notes for further use and took the cases un- der advisement. A further meeting will be held today.
