In 1910 our 1894 people. who con-
stituted the population of Marshall
town, had listed by assessors property
for taxation to the amount of $I47l,-
1872. In the Ave years which have
elapsed the people have Increased
nearly 20 per cent in number ana
the taxable property only IA per cent.
but of this property increase the state
executive council made level raise
of 10 per cent with its eyes shut, 20
the increase in property values actual
ly found by the assessors has been
negligible. The chances are that OLD
properties once listed are assessed at
fair relative values but 1t must follow
that many vacant lot once listed as
such has been improved with d build
ing many years before the assessors
found it out. What this town needs Is
an assessment by a thoroughly COM
petent person who can devote tirne
enough to it to get it right. The coun-
ty supervisors are letting some town
property off without paying It's fun
share nf county taxes so long as the
present kind of an assessment exists.
Inasmuch as the city council appoints
and the board Of supervisors pays the
salary 1t is time the two Boards were
getting together upon an agreement
for competency in the next assess
ment.

Community betterment day has
made great accom- plishment already in
the long list of fellows who will GER
tainly go to church tomorrow.
The city council can be excused for
exercising caution in the matter of an
expenditure of $4,000 for a dam to
turn Asher creek away from the water
main leading to the city wells, but
something must be done yet this fall
to protect the city's water supply and
the work will cost more when the
ground is frozen. The thing to do is
to consult an engineer experienced in
river control work and then go ahead.
Property owners who are refusing to
sign for crushed rock in their street
paving instead Of gravel are merely
delaying the paving. They will not adj
judicate the equity of an assessment

the work according to specifications.
Lime rock, free from dirt. net less than
one quarter of an inch nor more than
two inches in size will make good con-
crete in the base of a pavement altho
not in the wearing surface. 1t will
cost the contractors more but they
will have to pay the extra price as
their price for the paving is fixed by
their bid.

the experience with plumbing insnec-
ton in many cities and long suf.er
ing people are paving so much more
now for plumbers labor than other
classes of skilled labor can command
that they have no desire for thei: city
to afford shelter TO monopoly. IT
is fair enough for plumbers TO get for
their labor all the traffic will bear
provided they get it in open compeu-
ton with no shelters. Let any ordi-
nance provide the fundamental re-
quirements for good plumbing and
then any controversy which arises can
be determined by the facts as to the
work. A political board. nared by a
