the county supervisors for levying
excessive and unnecessary" taxes.
I'VE object they say. ito the action
of the county commissioners in raising
the assessed valuations on our live
stock and some other classes OF per-
sonal property when that property had
already been assessed at full market
value by our township assessor"
In the same signed resolutions they
CONSIDER the action of the county
commissioners in making 3-mill levy
as being extravagant and uncalled for
at this time, we derlcre this action
of the county commissioners as tend
ing to enrich the bridge companies
at the expense Of the taxpayers. We
believe this will also apply to the
concerns selling road machinery to the
county
The township supervisors demand
a more businesslilte and economical
administration OF the county affairs to
the end that the burden OF taxes may
be leasened." They also favor a sus-
pension of road and bridge work by
the county commissioners until such
time as the taxpayers are able to meet

QUESTION ONCE MORE

Baltic, S. d. April 9.--The Baltic
consolidated school question is to be
finally settled by resubmission. Dur
ing the past week a petition has been
circulated demanding the county SUI
perintendent to issue call for an
other election.
The election was to have been held
the latter part of the present month,
but the men who circulated the petit
ton failed to make their action legal
by complying with the law, and when
they brought the petition to Super
intendent Alma Langhout week ago
il was discovered to be not d legal
petition because it was not supported
by the proper affidavits as to sigma
lures.
This has caused a delay in calling
the election, SO that it will hardly be
possible now to have it held until after
the first of next month, owing to the
time required to publish the notices
