meet. 1t was a filthy, dirty apartment
Mr.. Stokes kept forty five chickens In it
and l had to go to a friends home to
eat"
The women, whom she was forced to
meet in the chicken apartment, were of

Erred in Belt Valua-
ton.

Because Of a blunder on the part of the
State board of tax commissioners the
indianapolis Belt Railroad and Stock
Yards Company need not pay any taxes
for the year 1919, the Supreme Court
ruled today.
The ruling was made in upholding an

The board at its first session valued
the property in the regular way. At its
fourth session the board increased the

valuations could not be increased at the
fourth session of the board under the
law.
The total valuation Of the property Is
given In the records of the tax board for
1919 as S3.2TO,9SO. On this basis about
81, ,O00 In taxes has been lost as a result
