CITY TAX. RATE
TO Be SLASHED
Louthan Predicts SIPS Will
Provide Municipal and
County Revenue.

Would Total $200,000,00O
Not Authorized.

of the tax commissions work in
Hamilton county to date.
The work of the commission will
not end until full and accurate sur
vey of all assessments is made,
states Senator Louthan. This will
probably be about sixty days, he
says, and some astonishing revcla-
tons in the way of low assessments
Is promised.
Investigation OF assessments for the
city will be the last lap Of the work
of the committee in Hamilton county.
Monday Senator Louthan stated that
it had come to the attention of the
commission that several prominent
local hotels and other pieces of real
estate were assessed many times be-
low their real value and that the
commission would certainly endCavor
to adjust this.
Tax Assessor Randolph Howell is
not to blame for the low assess
ments in the county, because of the
small force of deputies the county
maintains. stated Senator Louthan.

the sepator, "taht our work is in any
way intended to reflect on the work
Of your local tax assessor. AS a mat

Janitor Had Great Idea for
 Getting Love Thrills

New York, Dec. 31.--Matrimonial agencies operating in Chicago, Denver, Kansas City and San Fran cisco are finding many clients at present in the East, according to de- tectives who recently saved a young white woman, 20 years old from North Carolina, who came to New York expecting to meet "a Cuban gentleman of moderate means'
 The advertiser said he was "edu- cated and home-loving." He proved to be the negro janitor of a Bronx apar tment house. The girl, with a letter from him in her handbag, ar rived at the Pennsylvania station from her small home town. She had never been in New York before and a railroad porter turned her over to a Travellers Aid society worker who agreed to accompany her to the home or the man she called her "cousin." Disillusoned, the young woman was gwen shelter for the night, her fam fly telegraphed and funds were re- celved which permitted her to return home, the townfolk being none the wiser.
 In the police investigation of the Janltor which followed, the man dis played letters from women who are members of two correspondence clubs, one in Oakland, Cal, and the other in San Francisco ..
 Lists found in his apartment de- scribed women varying in age from s to 67 as follows:
 Beautiful California maiden. 24: 67 inches, 133 pounds; brown hair. blue eyes; Protestant; college educa- ton; musician; with $5O,O00; wishes to marry a refined business gentle man."
