French Hold Line Despite Terrific
Attack Of Enemy

Paris, May 3O-"We have prevented
enemy progress in the western out
skirts of Scissors" says the official
report from French headquarters to-
night.
ITO the south we soldly hold the
left bank of the Crise River. The Ger
mans are multiplying their efforts in
the direction of Ville-En-Tardenois.
The battle continued today, with
undiminished violence along the
whole extent of the front.
"On our right and to the northwest
of Rheims we are holding our posi-
tions.
"The enemy air forces which have
been very aggressive and numerous
during the battle. have been attacked
with the greatest daring by French
airmen. who destroyed nineteen Ger
man machines. brought down two bal
looms and compelled twenty-three enc
my airplanes to land in a damaged
condition"
Slowly but surely, the plunge OF
the German crown princes army Is
being halted by the French and Brit
ish armies. While the momentum OF
the German masses has not vet spent
itself. there has been notable slack
ening in his advance during the past
day. The chief efforts of the Ger
mans now seem to be devoted to
widening of the gap they have torn
in the positions of the Allies betwee'
Pinon and Brimont. This work seems
to be progressing slowly against the
desperate resistance Of the Allied
forces.
The French having fallen back from
the limits of the city of Scissors
have stood their grund against the
attacks of the enemy and the Ger
man official statement fails to show
!, aterial advances there during the
days fight.

WILL FINISH TODAY
Board Of Tax Supervisors viii Get
Through With Their LabOrs as
the Law Requires.

Today the Board of Tax Supervisors
will hear final complaints from those
who have been notified to appear be-
fore it, and as the law requires their
labors in this particular cease today
no more complaints will be heard.
With the work so near completion,
it is but fair and Just to say that this
has been one of the very best Tax
Supervising Boards the city has ever
had. Composed as it is of gentlemen
of the best standing in our commun-
ity, they have endeavored to make an
assessment that is fair and equitable
to all; and when taxpayers has been
asked to appear before them and state
his or her case they have in every
instance been given a patient hearing
and their cases have been duly and
justly considered.
The chairman of the Board feels ag-
grieved that all who had been sum-
moned did not appear, and to those
who did not answer this summons
their cases have been considered Just
the same, as the boards aim was to
make Maysville fair and honest as
sessment, and surely every one VIII
say that is what the board was elect
ed to do.
The report that it has done the tax
payers no good to make complaint, as
the board had informed them that
they are simply increasing the city
taxes in all cases to the amount of
assessment given to the County AS
SCISSOR under oath, is an unjust state
ment. as the board has no power to
increase city taxes, only to increase
assessment, and that it has in sew
eral instances amicably adjusted
claims where they had been stated by
the complainants.
1t is thought that their report Mon
day night to Council will show one OF
the fairest assessments this city has
ever had.
Today is the last day for hearins
complaints.
