V Report of Board.

The report Of the board or par dons in McInuish's case follows.
 The petitioner, A. D. Mclnmsh, was convicted In the circuit court of Lauderda1e county, February 21. 1923, of manufacturing liquor, and sentenced to serve from one year and one day to 13 months i'll the peni- tentiary.
 The board of pardons has not had an opportunity to hear from the trial judge or solicitor relative to this application fer parole While there Is a latter In the file from the trial Judge. 1t was written in refer ence to a former application for pa role, which former application was denied. Because of section 1895 Of the code of 19aI giving the board ot pardons authority to call on the trial judge and solAItor for information, and because these officers are di- reotly charged with the maintenance of respect for law and are in posi- ton to know the facts, the board of pardons has deemed 1t proper to defer action on an application for parole until these officers had an opportunity to advise the board of pardons thereon. In complying, therefore, with request for immediate action, we will not presume that either the solicitor or judge would

SURVEY OF THE CITY
EXTENDS BOUNDARY
PROPERTY NOT INCLUDED IN
OLD SURVEY is LISTED
FOR TAXATION.

The new survey of the city of Daw-
son, which was made under direction
Of the city couacil necessitated spe-
cial meeting of the tax assessors
which was held Friday morning.
According to this survey, which
was made by Mr.. R. NJ. Marbury
there is some territory on the outskirts
of Dawson that should be paying city
taxes, as it is within the incorporate
limits.
A number of property owners who
are affected by the survey appeared
before the assessors and protested the
right to subject these new areas to
city taxes this year. The old survey
OF the city made at the time when
the late J. w. F. Lowrey was mayor
did not include the property in ques-
ton, some of which is farm land, and
therefore the owners claim that they
have satisfied all tax demands by pay
ing the full amounts assessed.
The matter will be left to the city
council to decide as the tax assessors
have no authority in the matter.
