planned the reason for higher as
sessment In the cities and village that
he said is due to the more public
improvements enjoyed by the citizens
than by the residents OF the town
ships. Two-thirds OF the money
raised by taxation, Mr.. Lord said, is
spent for educational and road pur-
poses.
your oath OF office Is solemn
and binding obligation" said Mr..
Lord When you assume the con-

friends to reward or enemies to
punish. The tax dodger is the worst
obstacle in the path OF the assessor
and AZ the SHINE time he is the most
persistent.
