cluded its work this afternoon. Tie

mar their work.
The board expects TINT the assess
ment rolls for the four wards will be
slightly less than they have been FOR
merly. one reason advanced for this
Is that property has decreased in value
during the past eight or ten months.
The assessment. however will not be
known until June 3 when the roll will
be submitted to the council.
Supervisors Harris, Mason. Funkey
and ilosking of the First. Second

who will graduate this year. This has
been an annual custom and many feel
that it should not be abandoned. Many
are of the opinion that the White City

to hold the event because of the fact
that those who take the trip may have

ASKS REDUCTION
or TAXES; MAY
SUE The CITY
Quincy Mining Co. Sends Letter to
Council Referred to Attorney

suit against the city of Hancock
10 threatened by the quincy Mining
ro unless the council reduces the
.,muouv's 1910 assessment on it's lake
fropt and theater ravine properly.
The company addressed a letter to this
eject to the council, which was read at
last nights session.
MAYOR Oiala and members of the
council could not see no valid reason
f,r making reduction and referred
fine company's communication to the
civ attorney who is To bring in re-
mort at the next meeting. The letter
follows:
II call your attention to the taxes
or 1910 against the Quincy Mining 60.
ON two descriptions in Hancock city
which are delinquent The two de-
qrrptiuns being what is commonly
Known as the Lake front property and
the other as the thcater rtNine prop
crrN. ,...
The reason for the company refus-
ing To pay the 1910 taxes ON these de-
scriptions was that they claim they
were uncQualy and uniustly assessed
as compared with other Hancock prop
erty.
ION the same proportion of assessed
valuation To reasonable cash valua
tion as other properties in Hancock
city were assessed, fthes Lake front
property should havera cash value of
sos. zoe TO 100000, which of course is
entirely out of reason.
We had expected that these de
scriptions would be advertised and
come up for sale before this. at which
lime we expected to start our defense,
but it seems that the advertising was
delayed two years by the taxes being
charged back torthe city in 1912 ON
account of some discrepancy i'm de-
scriptions.
we have no fear of the outcome of
n contest Of the collection of these tax
ce as we have an additional defense i'm
the action of the Hancock board of re-
view Of that year in connection with
the TAXES dSS'SStu dShlllSN lll' nan
cock Mining Co., which action in our
opinion was sufficiently Illegal to in
validate the entire roll of that year.
"The Quincy Mining Co. does not
object ana never has objected to pay
its share of the taxes. We paid taxes
ON these properties for two or three
years at the assessed valuation of 1910
and each year endcaVored by peaceable
means To convince the board of review
Of the Injustice of the assessments,

permitted to mingle with the young
folks for awhile after the edge Of the

games that the elder folks knew moth

Finally game Of arithmetic was
started by boy who is considered the
best cipherer Of his class in the high

been given Of en- odd nature. over
which there were much laughing and
puzzing, father dared to speak up.
Said he:
"Boys and girls, they used to give US
this example in mental arithmetic
when I went to school. I suppose it
will be easy for you. but it's the best |
can suggest to take part in the game"
And he recited this couplet:

The score of boys and girls present
went at it. They wrinkled their brows,
and they pursed their lips. The use OF
pencil and paper was not permitted.
The mathematician had not been
among the first to try an answer. he
was plainly a little perpleXed. he
asked to have the problem repeated
and wanted father to reassure him
that it was mental arithmetic exam.
