WHAT LAND is WORTH.
BOARDS APPRAIsEMENT TO
BE USED TO FIX VALUES
Lists Of Farm Lands Prepared Ely
County Recorder For Correction as
20 Real Value Of Land-Board to
Make Changes, Showing Percentage
OF Increase.

The executive council OF the state
has put it up TO the board of super
visors to fix the real value of farm
lands in the county for the purpose OF
equalizing taxes. The supervisors are
10 say whether the prices at which
agricultural lands in the county were
bought and sold during 1872 are the
real values Of the land or are fictitious
values.
A copy Of the lists OF lands that were
sold during 1872, that was prepared By
Miss Eta Northup, county recorder,
which had contained the sale price and
the value assessed against each track
for taxation, has been returned 10 the
supervisors by the executive council.
Are to Fix Real Values.
In a communication sent with the
lists the executive council instructed
the board of supervisors TO go thru the
lists and fix the real value of the land.
The supervisors are instructed TO au-
thorize County Auditor \. H. We.ker
to change the values in the lists to the
actual values and 70 certify the
changes to the executive council. The
supervisors are also instructed TO show
the percentage Of increase or decrease
ordered in the tax assessments Tor
each township. or taxing district.
To Be Basis For Taxation.
The supervisors understand their II
structions to mean that the executive
council of the state is not going 10 be
guided in the equalization Of tax as
sessments solely by the "so-caIled'
sale price at which farms and tracts
of lands were sold during last year,
but rather that It will be guided by
the valuations which the board Of su-
pervisors fixes.
The executive council has taken the
lists furnished by the county recorder
as a basis from which to work. These
lists contained a description OF tho
land sold in the county during the last
calendar year and the price given in
the deed as the sale price for each
tract Alongside Of each sale price was
added the amount for which the land
was assessed for taxes by the assessors
this spring. In a very large majority
of the cases the assessed value was
less than so per cent of the sale price,
and the owner pays taxes on one

Rev. Father Keavey says that nc.
kerl had been out fishing. and had
fallen from a rocky point into the
creek bed. many feet below Rickerl
neck was broken. and a severe gash
was cut on his head. That Kicker
was killed by the fall was indicated
by the fact that there was no water
in the young mans lungs, showing that
he did not drown. The body floated
for some distance before it was re-
covered.
Rickerl went from Haverhill to Lam

.HEALEY BUILDING
WORKMEN OUT
ON STRIKE
The Employment of Non-Union
Painter Stops Work on To-
Story Structure.

Attempts of the R. NJ. Walker Com
pany general contractors, to employ
non union painters and electricians on
the Healey Building brought on a
general strike Friday afternoon. One
non union painter started to work at
2 o'clock, and his appearance was the
signal for a walk-out. Two minutes
later not man was working on the
building.
The skeleton Of the Healey Buf1d-s
ing, sixteen stories above ground. had
just been constructed by the steel
workers, who had flung an American
flag to the breezes high IN air when
the topmost beam was riveted.
None but union men had worked on
the building. Electricians and paint =
ers were expected to begin their in
terror work at noon Friday but when
the hour arrived no agreement had
been reached between the general
contractors and the Painters AMI
and Electricians Unions.
Business agents of the unions con-
ferred with the R. NJ. Walker Compa-
ny between noon and o'clock, but no
agreement could be reached. Mean
while, the contractors had begun ne
gotiations with non-union men.
Federation officers have resumed
negotiations with the contractors
looking to the employment of union
electricians and painters. 1t is eX-
pected the differences will be adjusted
and union workmen will return to
their jobs Saturday.
