renewing their attacks on the An

parent, though, that the greater por-
tion of het Bulgarian army has been
diverted AGAINST the allies. The out

great anxiety here, as it will deter

iority of the Bulgarians was demon
strated in initial encounters. Grave
doubts are voiced OF the ability OF
the Lritish to repNl the attack
There are no indications, however

CONVENTION OF STATE TAX
ASSESSORS IN JAX

Jacksonville, Dec. 1O-Tax asses
| sors of Florida numbering twenty
are IA Jacksonville ir attendance on
the annual session of the Florida
Tax Assessors Association, which
| convened yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock in the Seminole Hotel.
Although most Of the morning
session was consumed in organiza-
tion and the disposal of details con-
nec.cd with the or anization, dis
cussion of proposed plan of the State
Tax Commission to assess property at
fun value and lower the millage in
every county in proportion to the
increase, was reached shortly before
adjournment for lunch at noon.
Members Of the State Tax Commits
sion. including John H. Patterson
and Chairman John Neeley, are In
Jacksonville in attendance on the
gathering in an endeavor to secure
the cooperation of the county off,
cials in putting the new plan of as
sesslng values into effect
"Cne hundred Uer cent valuation
is the aim of the Tax Commission
for 1916" declared Mr.. Neeley this
afternoon after the adjournment of
the morning session, and he was sec
ondpd in this expression by Mr. Pat
ters5n. The commissioners declare
that they have a law behind them
that calls for full valuation of
property in every cocnty in the State
and that it is their purpose to cause
the enforcement of that statute. OF
cours,, they explained, they would
prefer having the voluntary CO.
operation of the ta% assessors.
Mr. Patterson ana Mr. Necley
think that a far more satisfactory
SYSTEM would be established in the
state if the 100 per cent valuation
wonld be adhered 10 The millage
or lev would be reduced in proper
tion. In other words. where a coun-
ty is row assessing on a 30 per cent
basI. and the milace was ~ mills,
,hou!d the 100 per cent valuation
system be inaugurated the levy
wonid be reduced TO - mills A
number of the assessors are opposed
10 IN plan on the cround that un-
scru.ulous County Commissioners
couir raise the levy to the present
state en- 100 per cent valuation and
COM within the law. In other
words. they would then be able to
dow t. the assessment if they so de-
sired.
It's. besides other discussions
whica will be entered into during the
two DAYS session nt the association,
and the indications are that the
aath,rin- will be one of the most
intcre sting ever held.
AAoat half of thu tax assessors in
the state were in attendance on the
morning session. which was pre-
sided over by S f. Sparkman, tax
