The State Taxing Commission
is still not satisfied with the work
done by the Powell County Board
of Supervisors who met last
March and did their duty by
making the raises justified. The
Taxing Commission has summon
ed the Powell authorities TO ap-
pear at Frankfort tomorrow and
show cause why that body should
not send a man here from Frank
fort and take new assessment
at an additional expense to the
county. OF course those fellows
at Frankfort, though possibly
never in Powell, know more about
the value of our property up here
than do the residents here.
