TUX VMS INCREASE

Estimate of Taxable Property Sent to State Auditor Shows Big Gain Over Last Year.

Land values and improvements In Vigo county have increased more than $3,000,000 during the past year, according to an estimate of the taxable property of the county sent to the state auditor Monday by County Auditor Wallace. The exact amount of the Increase will not be known until January l, 1916, but the estimate is Bent as made from the reports of the various township assessors as to land and improvement values and is for the purpose of giving the state board of tax commissioners some idea as to the value of the county that the state board may, during its session, decMe whether to raise or lower the county or the various townships.

According to the report nearly '$3,000,000 of the raise was made in the city of Terre Haute alone. Land in the city was valued last year at $ll,i53,180 and improvements at $15,527,060, with a total of $27,080,340. This year land is valued at $13,130,300, the improvements at $16,815,700, a total of $29,946,000. The figures show that the greatest raise was on the value of real estate.

Board Ends Work.

The boari of review which lias been in session since June 7 and which will complete its work Wednesday evening, has been kept busy hearing complaints from property owners who said their property liad been valued too high. The assessors made raises all over the city and in some instances such as Wabash avenue the.board took the matter in hand and increased the valuation.

This year the list shows tnat the value of land in the entire county was $22,4-61,870, the improvements $20,308,960 with a total of $42,770,830. The personal property this year is valued approximately at $11,673,330 and the poll tax is estimated at 14,170. The exemptions this year, are estimated at $3,152,330. This list does not include the state board of tax commissioners' valuatiohs on the personal property of the various railroads, traction lines, telephone and telegraph companies in the county. This is expected to bring the total up to about $3,000,000 more than given in the list. Last year the value of taxables in the county was placed at $54,525,910.

HOLT CASE MAY BE PROBED.

Grand Jury Will Bo Given Facts, Proseuctor Werneke Says. That the killing of Guy Holt, colored, will be investigated by the grand jury in September was the statement Tuesday by Richard Werneke, prosecutor. The case is still being investigated by Detective Frank Fedderson and statements of all concerned in the affair are being taken and will be used during the grand jury deliberations. According to the prosecutor and Fedderson, nothing has developed to throw any doubt on the story of Analine Cabell, colored, who admitted she fired the shot when she saw Holt in her yard.

He has been on the road eighteen days. The cart he pushes contains a complete camping outfit, even to an electric light for his tent and a gasoline stove which he uses to cook his meals. Stringfellow says he is making the trip for the pleasure and that there is no reward offered for his feat.

OPPOSE HIGHER VALUATION.

Pointing out that no improvements had been made on the property since last year and that, in fact, some buildings had been removed, Hal Dronberger, Thomas E. Beggs and William H. Johnson appeared before the board of review Tuesday morning in regard to the assessment against the Commercial distillery.

The distillery was assessed this year at $143,000, while last year the assessment was $123,000, a raise of $20,000.

APPEALS FROM JUSTICE.

The James Thompson & Brothers, wholesale liquor establishment of Kentucky, appealed from a decision rendered recently by Justice of the Teace Madigan in the cast against William E. Edwards, local saloon keeper. The liquor firm alleges that Edwards owes them $38.25 for liquors and asks judgment for $76.50. Madigan ruled in favor of Edwards.
