Real estate valuations in Allen
county were increased 9.45 per cent
by the six-year appraisal just COM
pleted and announced by County
Auditor Floyd w. Griffin.
Land and buildings are valued at
a total of S75,0054, $40 for an in
crease of s6,4s4,S70 over the pre-
vious worth of real estate in this
county, the auditor said.
Public utility holdings in the
county are valued at s16,191 800 to
give the county a real estate dupli-
cate of s91, ,245.870 on which to levy
taxes. Griffin pointed out this new
duplicate has not been approved by
the state tax commission but viii be
used in the collection of 1914 real

Work on non-combat vehicles was
sidetracked, and firms in Bellefon-

upon to take over part of the burd-
en- to meet the shipping require
ments brought about by wartime
program embracing two continents.
Major C. G. Wood explained that
more work is required to process We
hicles for combat duty than for duty

aid. He believes that it will be
possible soon to handle the entire
burden at the depot once more.
