fort and asked TO be equalized among
the property owners Of the county
by the present Board Of Supervisors
has brought a protest from her eiti-
sens over the county from 'een to
'een.
Two hundred taxpayers called up
on the Board ~ Supervisors last
Monday afternoon and protested Wig
orously against such an unfair raise
and insisted upon them not putting
on the 10 per cent additional raise
which the Board asked the week be-
fore Of the Tax Commission 10 be
taken of. but was refused. The Su-
pervisors showed every courtesy pos
sible TO thess people and listened
intensely to several speakers. among
whom were. j. l. Hamilton, G. b.
Swinebroad. J. =. Robinson and 9TH
ers. The citizens were outspokcn
against complying with the edict Of
State Tax Commission and felt that
after the Board had brought Up all
valuations that were Low and added
the omitted assessments. thus adding
si.25O.0OO over and above the origi-
nal assessment, they should 40 no
farther and refuse TO place the ad-
ditional 10 per cent required by the
Commission. Il j. said the entire
membership of the Board never Eel,
that the additional 10 per cent was
a just raise. and since the people
of the county were willing and had
offered at this meeting to stand by
the Board. they would refuse and
accede to the taxpayers wishes.
Now II the State should send
representative down here and in
crease the assessment Of Garrard
county property to more than its
worth. Il will be the first time they
have resorted to such extreme meas
ures since the law has been in effect.
II this policy is followed il can a,
least be said tina, the county board
has done what Il could to give jus
,iee to the citizens and taxpayers Of
county and the blame for
the Unjust increase will fall squarely
on the shoulders Of the State Tax

mortality among the birds and a good
Matching season at leas, $4,000
young birds should be added to Ken

eggs and all will hatch il was said.

dition TO the game bird supply was
approximately $1,000. l.iOO birds

The Mexican quail is identical
with the native bird. according to
DR.. futile. except in size. the south
