THE FLAG

Before, it was our heritage, ehe red
 and white and blue; Our grandsires died to raise it and
 our sires to keep it true. We prayed we might be worthy of

 our living and our dead! Bone of our bone the white has
 grown, flesh of our flesh the
 red.
 Our substance and our souls are

Hurley. Wis, Feb. "a, 1921
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council, of Hurley, Wisconsin,
Gentlemen:
You have asked for my opinion up
on the validity of the claim of the
Iron Exchange Bank against the city
of Hurley, for S2ll.90, which said
claim seems to grow out of tax pro-
ceedings for the year 1920.
After careful examination into the
facts | am of the opinion that the city
of Hurley is not liable on this claim.
The basis for the claim seems to be
that the assessor failed to deduct the
value placed upon real estate of said
bank, from the valuation placed upon
ne bank stock of said bank, and by
reason of this, said bank has been
obliged to pay S2ll.90 more than it
should have paid.
The records show that the assessor /
valued the real estate of said bank for |
said year at -. l50.00, and the bank |
stock of said bank at Sl25, 900 90 for !
taxation purposes; that the president /
Of the Iron Exchange Bank appeared /
before the board of review and obiec- /
ed TO said valuation, was sworn aud /
estlIied and his testimony reduced to /
from such testimony it APP
pears that the only objection made !
was that the valuation as fixed by the /
assessor were too high, on both the /
real estate and stock; the testimony /
