TOO HIGH TAXES
Errors in MorIeantoWner,s
Statement Pointed Out
by Local Man.

Protesting because assessments
in Monongalia County have in
creased 20 per cent and those in
Marion County have increased
only about 80 per cent. Attorney
Charles A. Goodwin of Morgan
town appeared before the Monon-
gala County Court. demanding
that some action be taken imme-
diately.
Two of the three county COM
missioners agreed with Mr.. Good
win that Monongalia County,
under present assessments, would
have to pay an unjust share of
taxes in the state and it is prob
able that some investigatory
action will be taken

County, assessed at $100,000,000.
Mr.. Goodwin declared, would pay
a far heavier burden of state taxes
than either of the two counties
mentioned.
Both Marion and Harrison. he
said, have created wealth than
Monongalia, yet. according to his
figures, which he did not claim
were absolutely accurate, Monon-
CALAIS assessed valuation was
much higher than either.
Errors Corrected
Mr. Goodwin made an error in
hiss figures, according to Marion
County Assessor Glenn Springer.

county at more than S108,000,O0O
Harrison County Assessor H. c.
Robinson also corrected Mr.. Good
win this afternoon, giving the
exact figure of assessm ents for his
county as $141,419.149..
Under tie Sanders Bill" Mr..
Goodwin is quoted as continuing,
"the State Tax Commissioner is
required to see that taxation so
far as the state levy is. concerned
is uniform and equal as between
ounties. The reports show that
Monongalia County has been as
sessed at much greater part of
her real value than has Harrison
or Marion. Commissioner Ha1lan-
an has done nothing to correct
this. Our own board of equaliza-
ton and review has done nothing
in the way Of equalizing assess
ments in our own county. The
figures were left just about where

"The boards of equalization and

court OF our state, if necessary.
There can be no question of the
Interpretation of the law. for the

We can show the value placed on
certain properties in Marion and
Harrison, and on the same kind OF
properties in Monongalia and we
can show that the valuations are
not just and equal. Either Mon

Girls Scream i'm Panic as Blast
In Broadway Hat Factory HurlS
Steel Machine Across WOrkrOOm
Twenty Windows Shattered by Explosion
When inexperienced Boy Attempts to Light
Gas Steamer-Has Miraculous Escape.

A large gas heated steaming ma
chine used in the hat factory of Cas-
sci, Cohen e. Sons. on the fifth
floor Of No. 707 Broadway, blew up
this morning, hurling Its casing of
quarter-inch steel across a workroom.
wrecking tables and chairs. Although
no one was hurt, the explosion blew
out twenty windows in the establish
ment, caused a panic on two floors Of
the ten-story building and brought a
lcrge detail of firemen and apparatus.
In the excitement number of per-
sons hastened out Of the building as
fast as the elevators could take them.
The lighting Of the steaming ap-
paratus, in the rear part of the fifth
fioor, was In charge of a foreman,
but he was i'll to-day, so Jacob Kes-
tenbaum, a boy Of seventeen, volun-
teered. He lighted the pilot burner,
and when the main burner was turned
on the explosion occurred.
Kestenbaum was standing at one
side of the machine and this saved
his life, for when the steel casing
blew off it missed him by only a few
inches. The blast threw him across
