 Board Raised Many.

The assessment books on file at the clerks office show a decrease in this years real estate assessments includ- ing town lots over the last two, years of $119,566. The decrease on town lots totals $20975, and on acreage S98,591. The personal assessments were net easily obtainable at this time but it is shown that the equalization board made numerous raises.
