 Discovery that a large corporation
 with an office and stock of merchan-
 disc in the borough had never been
 assessed for their stock carried or
 their office equipment was made by
 the board of relief in their sessions
 to hear appeals from the doings of the assessors which ended Saturday
 night. The name of the corporation
 was not divulged, but when the
 board meets this week to hear the
 appeals by 17 property owners, the
 report will contain the information
 it was stated.
 The present business depression
 forced most of the property owners appearing before the goard to apply for relief in the amount of their property assessments. These property owners informed the board members that they were out of employment | a great deal of the time and un- able to meet their bills. They ex- pressed the opinion that their prop erty lists should be lowered, which
 would tighten their tax bills. Holiday Being Observed Business in general is at a stand
 still in the borough today in observ- ance of Washington's birthday. The | majority of stores are closed as well as the banks and library. Holiday
 hours are in effect in the postoffice and there is no delivery by carriers ] today.
