BOARD RAISES ASSESSMENTS
Total Increase of $13, 900 Made
by Equalization Board

The County Board of Equaliza-
ton, composed of w. w. Magness
of this place, Judge S. A. Hail of
Batesyille and NJ. D. Hulsey of
Desha, completed their labors and
adjourned Wednesday. They did
not have a great deal of work to
do this year owing to the fact that
nearly all the real estate assess
ments were revised last year. The
board made a number of increases
in assessments, however, and the
value of number of pieces of
property in Newark was raised,
because of substantial improve
ments made during the past year,
The total amount of the increase
in values made by the board is
$4,000. Added to the increased
value of personal property, as re-
turned by the assessor, this makes
an increase of $103,7 700 in the tax
able value of property in Indepen-
dence county during the past year.

This. however. is not all. al- though as yet 1t Is not officially known whether this bank has established credit for any of the other belligerent nations. That credits have been estab- Iished in New York and in the aggre- gate amounting to many millions in favor of belligerent and neutral nations is known to those in authority in the financial district In one case the amount and the nation are subjects of common understanding, although there has been no official announcement of it. The National City bank has grant ed credit aggregating ss,oo0.ooo to Norway. There seems to be no doubt about this excepting that the sum may be a little larger than the one mem toned in the prevailing reports.
 There are the best of reasons for sur missing that Russia has also established a large credit in New York. That Is demonstrated by the ftcat that drafts drawn by Russia or her representatives in favor of some of the American ln- dustries of which Russia has been buy ing heavily have been accepted and paid by banks of this city, one in par ticular. Ten days or two weeks ago Russia made payment through her representatives in New York for com modities about to be shipped, the pay ment aggregating a little over $l00,- 900. The draft was drawn upon an in- ternational banking house. Recently Russia has made another payment of approximately s15o.o0o, the draft be- ing drawn upon one of the larger banks of New York.
