PURVIS APPEALS FOR ROAD
Tax Commissioner Of Grand Island
Line Says State Taxes Are
Too High.
SUPERINTENDENT cONsOLIDATEs
lrrnm s,aff cnrrs.nnnaont, ,

tFrom staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. May 10.-(special)-Th
State Board OF Assessment held a short
session this morning and listened tot an
appeal from w. N Purvis, tax commits
sioner of tho st Joseph & Grand Island
railroad for reduction Of assessment on
that road.
Mr.. Purvis did not attempt to make any
comparison with farm lands or other
property. but simply showed that he be-
lieved the road was being valued too
high for taxation purposes. There was q
deficit i'm the earnings of the road last
year Of N9SSi0 or 1923 per mile. The
valuation of the road last year was So. 500
a mile which. he thinks. is altogether
too high as compared TO the earning ca
pacity Of the road
More school Consolidation.
The work OF consolidation OF school
districts is going along merrily. according
to State Superintendent Thomas Mr.
Teed, who has charge of the work. left
tonight for Nance county. where there
are two propositions up for consideration
one OF them being about six miles west
of Fullerton at a rural church known as
North star
- AaEkt uuIuntl OF Itle SCHOOLS OF the
state i'm rural districts have but from
one TO ten pupils. and. in fact. there are
three in Lancaster county with less than
three pupils. The cost per capita uoght
not to be more than $50 per pupil, but in
some districts it is costing as high as 500.
Superintendent Thomas goes on the
theory that as II costs just as much to
run a passenger train across the state
with only ten passengers to the car as
IL does il the coaches are all full. Il
costs just as much to run school dis
trict with two pupils as II does one with
two dozen. so in order to get more eff
ticiency and at the same time less cost,
he believes the consolidation scheme a
success.
Damage Case Appealed.
An appeal from the district court Of
Furnas county has been made by Clay
ton NJ. Lewelling and Alpheus Gaddls
from a judgment secured in that court
by John II. Williams for 81 900 damages
caused by the defendants and their
wives enticing Mrs. Williams away from
him. Mr.. Williams married Hattie T..
Bradford in Maryville, No, March 10.
1886. They later moved to Beaver City
in this state and on continual representa-
tions made by the defendants to Mrs.
Williams that Williams was of unsound
mind and a dangerous man to live with
it is alleged she left him. He sued for
damages and received the above sum.
state Taxes RENTED.
There has been RENTED to the state
treasurer since January 1 by county
treasurers sl95,OO0 OF this amount Doug
las county made one remittance in April
of $4,000 and Lancaster another at about
the same time of $4,000. The state treas
urer is attempting TO have the county
treasurers remit every month. but as far
as the two mentioned counties are con.
cerned has not been successful.
