county Is no higher in its assessment
than surrounding counties, according
to figures secured yesterday by Audi
tor Bowman, who appeared before the
board of state tax commissioners, rep.

The auditor said today it might not
be necessary to increase the entire

cause the local assessment totals will
be high enough.

Those near the average are Boston
s35; Franklin. $34; Greene, $34; Cen
ter, $35.
The townships higher than the av
erage are Harrison, $39; Jackson. $39:
Washington. $39; Wayne, SAT.
The board will be ready Tuesday OF
Wednesday OF determine a per cent
of increase or decrease on farm lands
and city property in every taxing dis
trict in the county which will be
changed. Meetings for the purpose
will be held at o'clock in the morn
ing, and at 10 o'clock regular meetings

The great enveloping movement OF

great strategists who direct the Ger

Mexican money made by the various

given for the inactivity of the author
tiles in this matter. No Mexican money
is regarded as legal and therefore there
can be no such thing as counterfeiting
of Mexican money in the eyes of Amer
