MARKET WAS PREcAUTIoUs.

New. York. Aug. 1s.-Securities were under severe pressure in todayss very nervous stock market. some of the more, active issues falling to lowest levels of the year. while many others completely efaced the material gains scored in the long sustained bull movement which culmtnated two weeks ago
 Lsouidation was resumed at the out set events over the double holiday, notably the Mexican situation and ex- tension of labor troubles and especial Iy-ff1e e-IecsFtfaction strike provoking further selling.
 From the character of the trading the decline was obviously assisted to 2 substantial extent by heavy offerings from the shorts. who continued to press their recent advantage on the apparent lack of public support.
 The reversal was comparatively moderate and held in check during the first hour. but gathered greater mo- rnertum at midday and in the later dealings despite the unusual ease of money, call loans showing no discrim- inatfon for all industrial collateral. >

TAX BOOST CERTAIN
WILL STUDY DATA
AUDITORS MET FRIDAY
IN THE FOREST CITY
Northern Ohio District Well Repre-.
sented at the Meeting-Agree
Rate Should Be Higher

County Auditor McNeal was called
to Cleveland Friday to attend meet
ing of the Auditors from the northern
tier Of counties, 18 in all, to consider
the proposition of reappraisement
of-tax values in their several counties.
Under new law reappraisement is
authorized by the State Tax Commits
sion. This body has directed that
County Auditors meet and confer and
this meeting was in accord with that
suggestion.
1t was the concensus of opinion
that values were low, and a boost
-shoald follow. In this way it is felt
the rent profteer can be reached,
and halt called on rising rentals,
especially in larger municipalities.
It is said that many Of the smaller
villages I'M our county are in sore
needs of the added funds which a rate
increase viii give them; likewise the
schools in cities, villages and town
ships. 1t is further conceded that real
estate values have made some hand
some jumps Of late, and land trans
fers where prices are given prove
these claims.
Many matters were taken up and
discussed at the meeting but no posi-
tive action taken. A second meeting
will be held a little later, at which all
the Auditors are expected to show
data indicating present conditions Of
prices-real values as far as possible
Definite action will then be taken.

ASKING FOR CHANGE in
PAVING SPECIFICATIONS

Certain citizens on N. Court street
are not satisfied with the outlook for
the completion Of the paving Of that
street this fall, before the cold wealth
er comes on. They feel it would be
an outrage on decency to have that
street.-the interurban thoroughfare
torn up all winter, which has been
much its condition for months past.
The claim is made that the lower
strata of the present fill or paving Of
the street is intact, forms firm
foundation, and that it would be
foolish to remove it. To dig down to
it, and then use it To build on, they
claim, would expedite the paving Of
the street and make better foun-
dation in any event.
With this in mind move is on
foot to get the street committee of
Council and the engineer together,
with. bevy of interested citizens,
and see if it is possible to take this
action; thus insuring an early COM
pletion of the pavement and in a
great measure satisfying the citizens
on the street, and the travelling pub
lie at the same time.
Citizens are being interviewed as
we go to press to see what can be
accomplished. As soon as hall
dozen N. Court residents can be
gathered to make descent on the
Council committee it is felt an audi.
ence will be granted and the bali sci
to rolling to secure the change.
