State TAX COMMISSION WILL
HAVE REPRESENTATIVE HERE
Meeting Of Mason County Board Of
Tax Supervisors to Be Held Satur.
day VIII Determine Just What
Steps the Local Board
VIII Take.

On instructions from the Mason
County Board Of Tax Supervisors,
County Judge H. P. Purnell has invit-
ed the State Tax Commissioners to
send a representative here Saturday to
, meet with the Mason County Board of
Tax Supervisors at the Court House.
At this meeting an effort to reach
compromise will be made. The To-
cal board. 1t is understood, has about
reached the conclusion that they will
increase Mason county's assessment
practically half the amount that is re-
quested Of them by the State Board,
If this will prove satisfactory. The
State Board asked for three million
dollar increase which would mean
practically twenty per cent. over the
present assessment. The local board
seems disposed to increase the assess
ment approximately one and a half
million dollars which would mean that
the farm land would be increased
about 10 per cent. and town lots about
8 per cent.
Mr.. Robert Wilson, field man of the
State Tax Commission, will be here
and it is more than likely that the To-
cal board can reach some agreement
with him on the matter, without lot
of litigation and expense to the coun.

When first arrested Morgan gave
the name of James Woodward and de-
MED that he was Grover Morgan, an
escaped convict from the Kentucky
State Penitentiary. Persons here
knew him we'll, however, and positive
ly identified him despite his contention
that there was mistake.
On the train en- route to Frankfort
Thursday where he was to be returned
to the prison, Morgan continued to
deny his identity and would have pro-
baby taken the least opportunity Of
fered him to make an escape but as
soon as he was again behind prison
walls and knew that there was no fur
ther use to deny, he gave in and con-
fessed.
The first intimation that he was CIV
ing in was when he was registered by
the clerk Of the institution. The clerk
asked his name and Morgan, with a
smile on his face looked up to the Of
fcers who had delivered him and re-
piled &c. c. Morgan" A one hundred
dollar reward for his arrest will be
collected by the officers.

TEN MODERN HOMES
ARE PLANNED IN THE
next SIX MONTHS
Local Real Estate Man Purchases Ten
Building Lots and VIII Erect
Bungalows at Once.

Sherman Arm, popular local real
estate man, today closed three deals
whereby he bet anne the owner Of three
tracts of land in East Second street,
Sixth ward, which contain ten large
building lots. The first tract is the
Maysville Coal Company property on
East Second street just East Of Union
street consisting Of seven lots. The
second tract is two lots which we're
purchased from Dinger Brothers and
which are located just West Of the w.
d. Cochran home and one other lot
was purchased from Mrs. Griffith on
the opposite side of East Second street
in the same locality.
The purchase of these ten lots was
the first step taken by Mr.. Arm in a
plan to build in Maysville a number
OF modern and up-to-date homes for
the purpose of sale. Being in the real
estate business no one in Maysville
more thoroughly understands the lack
of suitable homes than he and 1t is
his purpose to build upon these ten
lots within the next six months ten
strictly modern bungalow homes
which will be offered for sale as soon
as the buildings are completed and
ready for occupancy.
This afternoon Mr.. Arm said that
there will be no expense spared to
make these houses strictly up-to-date
modern homes such as good citizens
would desire to own. They will be
modern in the last detail and there is
no question in his mind or in the mind
of any one in Maysville but that the
demand for the houses will be great.
This is but the beginning of build
ing boom which has been expected for
this summer in Maysville and 1t is GER
tain that during the spring and sum-
mer large number of modern homes
will go uD here.
