Nothing to Do.

During the five hours that the Board of Relief sat in session on Sat urday afternoon and evening only two taxpayers appeared. Their presence was not to protest against the findings of the Board of Assessors in raising the value of their property. It was only to ask general information about the method the assessors have for de- termining the value. According to one member of the relief board to- day, only eight persons have appear ed in the two days, six on last Friday and the rest on Saturday. Judging from the extremely small number that have already visited us, said one member today, it is safe to predict that nearly every taxpayer in town is well satisfied with the way the prop erty has been assessed.
