attack on tle board, contained in a

facts and figures to substaDtiate this
charge that railroads of the state

he reviewed the boards 1914 assess
nents OF the Vicksburg. Shreveport
and Pacific and the Iron Mountain
properties in Monroe and asked Mr.
Bryant his opinion of th"ir proper
valuation. Mr.. Bryant agreed in
most instances that the 1914 assess
'nents were high enough.
Mr.. Bryant pointed out that the
Vfcksburg. Shreveport and Pacific
owned 4 square of valuable ground in
the town which had not been assessed
by the board. The board members
state that the road had made no re
turn on the property to them and
they were under the impression thai
It was not used for railroad purposes
In such a case, the property would
be assessed by the parish assessor

take up the matter and get 1t prop
erly adjusted.

Since the beginning of the Anglo

Adriatic, at the head of which is Pola

the coast Of Turkey. This patrol duty
was particularly to protect the YES
