NOT SATISF ACTORY

While most of the reports of the
com missi oners of revenue to the State
auditor are showing substantial in
creases in taxable values over last
year. some of them are not at all
pleasing to that official. In a few
instances. according to Auditor Moore,
it Is apparent that the books have
been copied from those of last year,
while neigh boring counties under SIM
liar conditions have shown an in
crease. In these instances the audi
tor will return the books to the COM
missioners of revenue for correction
with a reminder that unless the work
Is conscientiously done that grand
jury Investigations will be necessary.
