 "All complaints of excess assess ment or error in assessment have been investigated and passed on by at least two members of the board, and in cases where there was dis agreement by three members of the board. In all cases. where the change was material, all three mem- bers of the board have acted. It has been the custom to have the tax payer lay before this board any com plaint that he may wish to make. Such complaints have been investi- gated impartially and such changes made as are warranted by the facts. We would again stress the point that the best method of bringing before the board any grievance is for the taxpayer to personally see the as sessors and state his ease. and we assure you that all such complaints have and will continue to have de- tailed investigation.
 "We note in you annual message that you stress the advisability of semi-annual tax collections. This office complies the rate book for the tax collector. figures the tax and turns the books over to the tax col lector for collection. We have had the possibility of semi-annual collec- lions in our mind for some time. We would state at this time that our office is 50 regulated and our work SO planned that we could transfer to semi-annual collection scheme as far as the compilation of the rate book and the figuring of the tax is concerned at any time it is deemed advisable.

20-FOOI, PAVING
MINIMUM IS
ADVISED
BY e. e. DUFFY

During the last few years rural
pavement building has been con-
tinually undergoing readjustment
Experience and tests have shown
the wisdom of making concrete
thicker at the pavement edges, bet.
ter surface finish, and a number Of
other improvements that have gone
to make the pavement smooth, ef.
ficient, and low in cost Of upkeep.
Society, however. Is sometimes
slow to adopt changes obviously
needed, for there is that strong
human tendency to let things re-
main as they are. For instance, In
Chicago, personal property tax
blanks still display space for listing
melodeons.
Wider Roads Needed
Progressive highway builders and
communities are giving attentioR to
the important matters of rural pave
ment width. Clearly. roads for mod+
ern traffic should have. wider lanes
than those deemed suitable for
horse-drawn vehicles.
The I6-foot roadway that we'll
served slow moving buggies and
wagons gives no margin of safety
for fast moving vehicles OF today.
The 1S.foot road IL In many In
stances adequate for two-lane
highway. However, various com.
munities are finding It highly de.
sirable and economical to install
20-foot pavements.
There is a growing belief that
v,nnst nvaF1nanfa should bn dpsipnod
in units Of 10-foot traffic lanes. In
ana near population centers COM
mercial traffic is increasing. Here
outlets to the country should be of
40. so and 80.foot widths. The 10
foot lane gives ample space for
each car and insures greater speed
with greater safety factor.

But now tha, the 1929 foot ana

tory, live stoc& leaders az more
than ever determined that America
must do everything possible to pre-
vent another outbreak. It has been
definitely determined that the dis

which was taken on by q rouad-the-

ashore and fed to hogs in a Los

up to the states to cooperate with

available and then carrying out the
policing of such regulations.
AS the matter now stands, Can
fornia authorities, with full rcaIi-
2ation of the dangers, are guarding
all ports Of entry. Yet tine disease
might just as well be brought into
this country through either the
Canadian or Mexican border, CT an
Atlantic seaport; likewise, through
Gulf. ports and inland watc. ways
which go into the very heart Of th'
corn belt, and agricultural sections
cf the United States. Not that
these countries may have foot and
mouth infection, but we do know
that practically every CIVILIZED ma
tion on the face Of the earth is
troubled with or exposed t1 the
pest. In the exchange cf cuumod.-
ties in the ordinary course OF trad
ing between infected and roniI-
fcctcd countries is where the dan
ger lies and where the prcyeutatil -
measures must be applied.
We always Ike to believe tAls

that the latest means of combating

a'als and that thn Germ lives in the
bone marrow even under ryfrig IN.

they become active.
This Latter feature Is important.
because of the pressure which has
been brought upon the federal GOV
crnmcnt to admit into Amcrlca rha
meats from countries where the dis
ease is known to exist. Many haya
maintained that this embargo Iail
