West Broadway until the new church
Is finished when they will sell their

two years that the present structure
IS entirely inadequate TO the needs
of rs members.

COMMISSIONERS MAY
CALL ON TAXPAYERS
RELATIVEDIFFERENCE
IN SOME VALUATIONS

II Is probable that q number OF
taxpayers OF Carter county will be
called before the county commission
err who convened ut the court house
as an equalization board this morn
Ing, according to Chairman Joe Taylor.
The commissioners limited their ef-
forts this morning ana during the
early part Of this afternoon to u scrG-
tiny OF the various valuations as rem
dered by the people.
1t was reported that number Of
buildings OF practically like value
were rendered with considerable diff
ference for assessable valuations. II
was also pointed cut by the ccmmls-
sioners that IL large number OF
properties are rendered far below
their actual value. the tax rate must
continue to be high In order 10 get
the necessary funds for county gov-
ernment. a high tax rate acts as a
deterrent to prospective investors, the
commissioners said.
Following their sessions as an equal
ization board. which probably Will
last until Wednesday afternoon, the
commissioners will convene as com
nllssioners' court to continue work
on the county budget. The estimate
for the county's general budget has
been reduced SO far from s25s.OO0 to
.2O9, 1000. and probably will be reduced
still further before being placed be-
fore the excise board, Mr.. Taylor

Our Friends Mistaken

Upon informing some Of our friends
in Colorado Springs that we were
coming to Holyoke to live, they re-
marked that 1t was comparatively
new country, and acted as though
they were fearful of our getting he
yond the pale Of civilization. How
ever their apprehensions were all
wrong. We not only found an up
to.date town of live business men,
modern stores. beautiful homes. spen-
did schools and good churches. but
the other night. barring all of the
above undeniable evidences Of mod
ern civilization there came to US an
undisputable fact that civilization has
reached here without the peradvent-
ure of doubt.
We were awakened by the mourn

lusioned before his arrival. though
glad of his call. as 1t took us back
10 the old orchard on the farm OF
our childhood in Illinois over forty
years ago. where year after year a
pair Of screech owls reared a family
in the same hollow apple tree.
There is something about the plain
tive notes OF screech owl that a
person cannot jar loose from. We
