here are no pole lines. Branching
eeders will lead from the north and
south lines into the middle of the

missions Figures Vary.

Jackson, Mich, Dec. 16.--Among
the appropriations asked by Warden
Nathan F. Simpson of Jackson prison,
is an item of $S2,220 for the purchase
Of farms on which options have been
obtained. However, the state tax com.
mission, which made an appraisal of
these farms, sets the valuation at
$4S.700, which, according to one OF
the men employed by the commission,
Is cash valuation. The state is
therefore paying $33.46O more than
the so-called cash value of the various
prtperties, II the tax commission is
correct.
review OF the properties, when
garden Simpson proposes to pur.
ilase, shows in a number of instances
The state is asked to pay double the
tax commissions valuation. On one
tract of 100 acres the assessed valua-
tinon is $3,470, but the state Is asked
to pay $1,000. On another tract of
263 acres the assessed valuation Is
$500, while Warden Simpson pro.
poses to pay $4,000. For another
piece OF 40 acres, valued at $1,000 the
