old castles transformed into new for

smaller. until at a point about fifteen
miles from the entrance it is reduced
to a width of one mile. A small island

holding a conference with the repre-

the properties for the year 1915. Here
.tOfore it has been customary for
the county to accept a lump sum in
taxes from the corporations.
General Manager Richard w.

were made by the Peoples Railway

Mr.. Groves said that when the tax

The company has been paying in
the past years 500 as roadbed taxes.
A property tax also was paid by the
company.
J. S. W. Phillips, representing the
