ia reference to the increase in valua-
ton in Iron county ordered by the
State Board of Equalization we in
advertantly made a glazing omission
in that we failed to state that the
board had ordered an increase of 80

an increase OF forty per cent on town

other lands. These increases, as stat
ed last week, are not justified from
any standpoint OF justice and equity.
