Richmond. Va. May Land as
sessors Of virginia at Murphy's Ho-
fel today conferred with members
of the State tax board on a plan
for more uniform and adequate as
sessment of real estate. The meet
ing was called by the tax board
acting under authority Of an act OF
the last general assembly.
The immediate business was 70
correct INEQUALITIES which for years
have existed in the assessment OF
real property in Virginia. and COR
rected assessments will take effect
In 1871 for a period Of ave years
There were $50 men in the assem-
lbly hall when the governor called
the gathering to order.
Compilation Of the assessments
made by the State tax board, and
the comparison Of sales made in the
several counties and cities disclosed
the exceptional conditions that OBJ
tain throughout Virginia. Valua-
tion in the cities is just SIS per cent
Of the actual sales value and that
for the counties Is sos per cent.
II was pointed out that the law
directs that the assessors shall make
fair cash valuation" OF all prop
erty. This has not been done as the
figures compiled by the State tax
board will demonstrate. Southwest
Virginia appeared to be the greatest
offender. IN this respect, the records
showing, that sales of property in
hat section have been as low as 12.S
per cent of the sale value. The
highest in the State was at Hope

rs much as they were depressed or

Kootenai county by precincts, as re-

possible with the figures of 1910 and

that many precincts have been carved
up to form new ones, causing some of
the apparent deer eases. The popu

CAPTURED A STILL
But MOOnShinerS In Howell
District Elnde Officers.

A moonshine still was discovered
and destroyed in the mountain fast
nesses of the Howell district about
seven miles west OF Rathdrum last
Saturday. The Still was an oil burner
and emitted little smoke.
Sheriff Quarles has had intimatiop
that a still was operating 70 that
vicinity for some time, and Saturday.
in company with Deputy Sheriff G. A.
Berry, Chas. Burrows and Jim Field.
Ing started in search. The still was
in full operation when the posse came
upon 1t, aud pouring out whiskey at
the rate Of gallon a minute. The
owners of the still, however. were
keenly on guard and seeing the posse
coming made hasty retreat.
|. 1t is not known how many were ip
the party, but Sheriff Quarles manag.
ed to get sight OF one as he was run
ming thru the brush, and fred Oh him,
but the fellow managed to get away
without leaving any trace as TO
whether or not he had been hit.
The posse destroyed the outfit, with
the exception OF the still which they
brought back with them. Several
barrels were chopped up and about
400 gallons OF .moonshine spilled.
An unusual thing about this still
was that it was not located near any
stream. About forty rods away was
a sunken barrel in the earth, contain.
ing water which seeped into the
barrel possibly from an underground
spring, 1t Is presumed that the
moonshiners carried the water from
this barrel TO make their whiskey.
This is the third still that has
been located and broken up in the
Howell district during the last Two
years.

question cannot be given the atten-
tion necessary to reach or maintain
the normal standard. 1t seems that
the only solution Is to separate the
grades and employ teacher for the
fifth.
This, OF course. will Increase the
expenses of the year already much
greater than last year owing to the
higher salaries. but the board can see
90 other alternative IL the school is
not to suffer. The tax levy is up to
the limit and deficit looms, but
there Is an Increase Of 26 10 the
school census over last year, which
will bring more apportionment money
to the district, over the amou ut to be
received by taxation. 1t Is estimated
this Increase 10 apportionment may
amount TO $3.50, which will pay near,
ly three-fourths the salary Of an
additional teacher, especially since
more than month Of the term is
gone.
Steps have already been taken to
at up the extra room in the grade
building, and 1t is possible the addi
tional teacher will be employed
within the next week or two.
