Board, and all special taxes, for the
year 1920,took place last Saturday,
at the Court House, at st. Joseph,

some 6O-odd pieces of property, the
assessed valuation of which was pos
sibly couple hundred thousand dol
lars. Fortunately most Of the own

State for the amount of the tax,
interest and costs. The properties
