Eks Picnic
at Ayers Cliff

Over 100 members OF the St.
Johnsbury Lodge of Elks thor
oughly enjoyed themselves on
their annual picnic at the Ayers
Cliff fairgrounds FRIDAY. The day
opened rather unfavorable but the
clouds soon lifted and the day
was ideal for outdoor life. A few
of the members made the trip of
about Is miles by automobile, but
the most of them went on the
morning train and came back on
the night train. The feature of the
sports was a closely contested

athletic stunts during the after
noon. An excellent dinner was SER
we'd at noon and the visitors had
the use of the fairgrounds and all
the buildings throughout the after
noon.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

The County Board of Equaliza-
tion, which has been more or less in
| session daily for the past month,
is nearing the end Of its labors, and
publication Of it's proceedings will
be published soon. 1t is said they
have undertaken to do a great
amount of work, and it is to be
hoped they have made good the un-
dertaking, for there was plenty Of
work for them to do, or undo, az
was needed to do with much of our
last years work. Property in the
towns and county was shamefully
unevenly valued. We know OF
many, many cases, but the writer
will just refer to the city taxes,
based on the County Board of Equal
ization's work, of three cases on the
same street we live on. The city tax
of Hayti is per cent Jim Thomas
has g home and two lots and pays IA
city tax of IS. Mr. Thomas has two
lots, barns, wagons and team and an
ordinary residence. Luther Holt,
adjoining Mr.. Thomas, with one lot,
no wagon and no team, and with
no better house, pays a city tax of
SIG. Mrs. Daley, widow, who
makes her living by doing washing,
who has but one lot, no barns, no
wagons and no team, and no better
residence than Mr.. Thomas or Mr..
Holt, pays city tax of SIS. Mr..
Thomas property, being the closest
in,should on that account be the
most valuable. Mrs. Daley's, being
the farthest out, should be valued
less. or course, personal property
wagons, teams and other things, are
not appraised by the Board of Equal
ization, but are assessed by the as
SCISSOR, and with all that, Mr.. Thom-
as staX is half less than Mr.. HOlt's.
and nearly two-thirds less tha Mrs.
Daley's. And so it goes all over the

all the tax he should pay. The
others are simply held up and their
purses robbed. There is no other
way to tell it. The writer's home
was more than doubled in
value without giving notice of the
raise by publication, as the law re-
Quires. Rather than have a lawsuit
we "forked over our money, but
we would have done the same had

in our face We have tried to sell
our property for what it was valued
