The board of assessors of Cadron
Jevee and Dam District, embracing
nearly 10000 acres of land in Con-
wav and Faulkner counties, today
made an enforced assessment upon
which to base a levy Of taxes to pay
claim of 81, 500 to the estate of the
late George H. Burr, for engineering
services rendered by him to the dis
trict. The board is composed of A.
7 Nesbitt of Plumerville and M. C.
Turner and D. O. Harton of Conway
and the meeting was held in the law
office of J. C. Clark.
The regular tax assessment valua-
tion of the lands was adopted by the
hoard. The figures will be presented
to Chancellor Jordan Sellers of Nor
rilton, who will sit here next Tues
dav and will then order the payment
of the assessment.
It will be remembered that the dis
trict was organized by the legisla-
ture of 1909 for the purpose of re-
claiming large area of land in the
bottoms of Cadron creek and OF build
ing a dam at Gleason 70 prevent
backwater from the Arkansas river
from overfowing the lands. From
various causes the project was aban-
doned but not until after Prof. Burr
had made the surveys of the district.
No tax was ever collected and the
district was abolished by the legisla-
ture of 1915. On a petition of Mrs,
Ruth H. Burr, as administrator, how
ever. the court some time ago made
an order that a sufficient tax be levied
to pay the engineering fees OF Prot.
Burr. amounting to 81 ,566.

From Tuesdays Daily
The effects of the financial depres-
sion which began late in 1914 and ex-
tended until late in 1915 were plain
ly shown in reduction of building
activities in the city of Conway.
During the year just closed only 81
new buildings were constructed, the
number being slightly more than half
of that of 1914, when 72 were erected.
The city keeps no official building
record, but for the past nine years
Dr. George S. Brown has very care
fully recorded every new house erect
ed within the city limits and to him
the Log Cabin Democrat is indebted
for the figures given.
According to DR.. Browns record
1914 witnessed the construction of
the greatest number Of buildings in
the city's history. The next highest
number was 81, in 1912. The num-
Der erected in 1915 is the smallest in
the past five years. The record for
the past nine years is as follows:
