Tax payers of Jefferson county who wish to protest assessments on their property for this year have only two more days in which to do SO. The board of tax adjustors, which has been sitting at the courthouse since June 1, will close its books on August 1 and certify the assessments over to Tax Assessor Roy Dillon.

 During the last few weeks an aver age of about 40 persons have ap- peared before the board. This is much smaller than last year when the number of protestants often ran as high as 80 per day. Only a few ap- peals have been taken, 1t is stated from the figures set by the adjustors Appeal may be taken to the board of revenue or to circuit court.
