The auditors of the various counties appeared belbre the State Board of Tax Commissioners last Wednesday to show cause why their counties should not have a per cent, added to the assessment already rjnade. The Sentinel says : "W.T. Ulair, auditor of Monroe county, talked for five minutes about Un poverty. Of the thirteen ownsbipe the land in five was ab solutely worthless. Some time since jM acres were sold for taxes in one.' of the townships, at thirty cents per acre. n another 966 acrevij'plch would bring no price at all,' were forfeited to the -State. Tim present average of .Monroe is 9.07 a nd the board contemplates au increase of 15 per cent. The. Indianapolis Journal says: Auditor W. T, Blair, of Monroe, said that it was well known that bid county was one of the poorest 3a tbe State, and, if anything, was appraised too high at an average of l9.07 an acre. He therefore prixested against a 15-per-cent. iocreV)i, siting that of the twelve townships of bis county seven were compelled to pay the taxes of the entire. WHQty. In the other five, wber.e Ijhe average appraisement au aero -wits $4-03, land could not, he 1 clai dual, he sold, at any price. Tbe government bad to reduce a tract of land it owned from 11.35 to 12 cents an acre before it could be sold. He gaVe instances where land in these :poor townships recently sold jor ftoin 10 to 30 cents sa acre. Last year the eoontv forfeited 4,963 aetes to the State by reason of non-payment of taxes. In answer to a question be said be believed Lawrence county much better able to stsnd the increase necciiaary to equahin ssseeaments than Monroe county,' which would, under the present valuation, be taxed as much or more than it could pay.
