MRS. E. WHITE DIED SAT-
URDAY, PRINCESS ANNE
Continued from Page u

ces White, wife of Mr.. Alonzo Lee
White, who passed away suddenly
Saturday morning at her home in the
suburbs from a heart attack.
Funeral services were held from
her late home Monday afternoon at
two o'clock with the Rev. G. E. Leis-
ter, Methodist minister of Pocomoke
City, officiating. He was assisted
by the Rev. Tilghman Smith, pastor
of Antioch Methodist Church. The
remains were inferred in the family
plot in the Presbyterian cemetery in
Pocomoke with the following acting
as pallbearers: Archie Taylor, Ash
ton Miles, Walter Payne, Renzie Rev.
ell, w. A. Riggin and Edward East.
Miss Lutte White, daughter Of the
deceased, returning to her home Sat-
urday at noon, found her mother miss
ing. She Immediately began a search,
calling at the homes of nearby rela-
tives without avail. Returning to
her home, she found the body of her
mother lying on the pantry floor.
The deceased, IA vars of age, was
the daughter of the late Levin and
Matilda Harris of Somerset County.
She was quite active and apparently
enjoying good health. She was a
member of the Quinton Church at
Costen for many years and regularly
attended the Methodist Church here.
She was a woman with a sweet dis
position and has host of friends in
Pocomoke City and Snow Hill, where
she formerly resided, who regret
her passing.
Besides her husband, Mrs. White is
survived by the following children:
Mr.. William L. White and Mrs. John
East, Jr., of Pocomoke City, and Mr..
Leslie J. White and Miss Lutte White
of Princess Anne; two sisters, Mrs.
Mary Beauchamp of Manokin and
Mrs. j. E. Townsend, of Crisfield, and
four grandchildren, also survive.

). No justification could be found
for reducing the assessment to $751;
10000 in view of the fact no such re-
auctions prevail in connection with
other property in Pocomoke City.
Aside from the equitable phase of
the matter, it was also pointed out
that the taxpayers of Pocomoke City
pay to the Maryland Light & Power
Company approximately 100000
each year for lighting the streets and
pumping the water. That annual
revenue from the town treasury
should certainly be an additional reas-
on why the Power Company should be
agreeable to an assessment that is
comparable to the valuation placed
on other property in the town.
Another point discussed was the
difference between the Power Com
pany's valuation Of the property for
electric rate-making purposes of 1928,
100000 and the $57,sO0.OO they have
used for the purpose of taxation.
The Commissioners agreed to notify
the Maryland Light and Power Com
pany that the valuation of the prop
erty, as submitted by them, cannot
be accepted as basis for tax assess
ment and it is believed that a more
equitable basis will soon be found.
