Honorable Carl Hayden,
 House of Representatives,


 Washington. D c. My dear Congressman:
 1 desire to acknowledge the receipt of your let ter of February 10th 1922 enclosing telegram from the Hobrook Chamber of Commerce, dated February 17th, 1922 protesting the abandonment of Fort Apache Ar zona.
 Due to the reduction in the strength of the Army and of the appropriations for its maintenance it has become necessary to concentrate troops where possible thus pro- vdng more adequate protection in of need where the federal government is bound to furnish it, promoting efficiency in training and reducing of maintenance by reducing overhead utilities, ecetera. After very careful consideration concurred in by all departments of the government concerned it found that Fort Apache which account of its location is very expensive post to maintain, could be abandoned without abandoning any federal obligation This move will strengthen the border guard.
 The telegram is returned herewith requested.
 Sincerely yours,
 JOHN w. WEEKS,
 Secretary of War.

the recommendation will be made
that the current valuations be rails
ed 1880. 900 which will place tina
community on an equal footing with
New Brunswick ratables, which are
said to be the best of any in the

A new method OF assessments VIII
also be recommended for h Dor
ough as the present system has been
described as no system at all. AL
this time lots SO by 200 feet on the
main street are valued for taxing
rpose at 5000 though this method
will without doubt be changed by
the state board to a basis of so much
a frcnt foot and the valuations OF
ratables raised from thirteen per
cent as estimated by the state to a
jus3 rate.
Under tire present state laws the
state board has the right and the
w to add to ratables in IN

reasonable 10 expect that they will
avail themselves OF their rights this
