 "This appeal is, and must be taken from tho action of the board of re- lief. Gen. Stat. 124o.
 "There Is no allegation that the board of relief adopted or used any rule other than that prescribed by statute. Such board upon the ap- peal of the applicant from the do- tngs of the assessors, reduced the amount of assessment upon the land to s25,0oo.
 ''The applicant alleges that the fair market value of the land is no moro than $10.o00. That Is denied by the respondent.

 Such being found the issues up- on the application are found for the respondent.

 Counterfeit currency made its ap- pearance in Kensington this morn Ing when Giana & Ronketty accepted a ten dollar bill for face value. Upon examination 1t was found that the bill had been raised to $100 note on the face of it although the back had been left untouched.
