County Assessor Lyle L. Jay. and
Charles Anda. chairman of tho board
OF county commissioners of Wyoming
attended the meeting held in Chey-

county. Both returned here this morn
ing.
One OF the most important accom-
plishments of the meeting was the
disapproval expressed by unanimous
vote of the 30 people present against
calling an extraordinary session of
the state legislature. This situation
occurred despite the fact that 20 OF
the counties represented had as their
delegates men who have extensive cat
tie. farm or ranch interests. It was
in behalf Of these latter people that
| tho session was planned to afford nee
essary relief.

still existed that Natrona county be.

ments was in a better position to bear
the burden of state taxation than those

said that he found hat there was an
evident desire on the part OF the state
board of equalization TO cooperate
| with Natrona county IN obtaining an
understanding of the aims and de
sires of each. On the whole it is said
that the outstanding result of the
meeting was a better understanding OF
the state board by all members who
attended the meeting.
A decision was reached according &C

fled uniform assessment on livestock
