MUCH PAPER IS
SAVED BY SALVATION
ARMY WORKERS
salvation Army is Doing Its Part in
Conserving Paper Throughout
This District.

Cincinnati, Ohio. The Salvation
Army is doing It's "bit" to help news
paper publishers and the reading pub
lie, by turning back to the paper mills
for re-manufacture even more waste
paper than 1t has done in the past.
we realize the difficulties confronting
the newspaper owners, owing to the
shortage Of paper" says Brigadier
Herbert Roberts, commanding the Sal
vationists in Western Ohio and Ken
lucky, land these difficulties have been
the case of necessary advances In sub
scription and advertising rates"
Through It's Industrial Homes the
Salvation Army is salvaging and send
ing back to the paper mills more than
$4,000 tons Of waste paper each year.
During the past ten years the Army's
"harvesters" have turned back to tho
paper mills more than $4,000 tons Of
waste paper which otherwise would
have become total loss. In doing this
the Army has not only aided tho pub
fishers, but it has been Of real service
to the community by putting thou
sands Of unemployed men "back on
their feet again. giving them work in
sorting and bundling the papers, and
preventing them from being burden
on the public.
The work of the Industrial Home is
only one of the 16 major activities
which the Salvation Army ia now put
ting into effect in Its Home Service
program for 1921.
This program calls for the extension
Of the Army's service from the cities
to the country, through the agency Of
Advisory Boards composed Of prom
inent citizens not directly connected
with the Salvationists, but who will
act as their representatives in hand
ling social problems of their particu-
lar communities.
Thousands of Advisory Boards have
been formed throughout the United
States and are in successful operation.
Forty-two Boards have been organized
in Brigadier Roberts territory alone.

TAX SUPERVISORS
WILL COMPLETE
THEIR WORK TODAY
Board Has Rndeavored 10 Really
Equallxe the Taxation Of Mays.
vIlle-Much Personally Is
Added To List.

After having gone over the city tax
list several times in an honest effort
to cquallze the taxation Of the city
rather than to lower or Increase 1t, the
City Board OF Taxation, which has
been In session now for several weeks,
expects to complete Its, work Wednes-
day and turn the completed assess
ment books over to the city officials.
In many respects, this has been the
best Board OF Equalization Maysville
has had In years. The board was COM
posed OF Hon. w. Fl. Cox, former May
or, James NJ. Collins, former City At
torney and practicing attorney, and
F. Devihe, real estate merchant and
probably the best posted man in Mays
vile upon property valuations. The
board was therefore quite especially
qualified for its duties and they have
been performed well.
In many cases the assessment has
been decreased and In many instances
the assessment has been increased.
Probably the outstanding feature Of
this boards work is the great increase
shown in personally. The board has
added three hundred automobiles on
the city tax list upon which the city
has never before derived one penny's
taxes.
With an equalization of the assess
ment on real property and consider
able increase on personally assess
ment, the Board will turn over to City
Council an assessment which will be
just about the same as last years with
probably small increase. With the
personally, found by this years board
off the list the total would show a de-
crease over last years assessment.
