BOARD OF REVIEW FIND 348 LISTED IN HANCOCK COUNTY \VllH A TAX VALUATION

OF $72,000, OR AVER

OF $207.

Oijly a Few Years Ago a "Horseless BwflOy" Was a Curiosity—Number and Valuation of Horses,

Cattle, Hogs, Sheep and Other Personal Property.

While some people still persist in walking, a great many ride in Hancbek county, and many of them ride in automobiles. The rapidity with which the automobile has grown in favor and come to be in general use is astonishing, to say the least. Only a few years ago a "horseless wagon" was a curiosity and when one passed along the country roads, schools were dismissed so the children could see it. Now the boy or girl living in the farthest and most remote parts of the county scarcely looks up from play when an automobile or half a dozen of them passes by. That they have come to be a very useful vehicle and a necessity in many instances, is shown by the fact that there were on the first day of March, of this year, 348 automobiles in use in Hancock

county, which added to the tax du-

in jtronon

plicates just $72,020, an average of $207. These facts are shown by the work of the Board of Review now in session, which has gone over all personal property assessments and put their O. K. on the valuation. The number and valuation of automobiles by townships and corporations is as follows:

Center, 40, valued at $7,815, an average of $198

On June 27th, the new elevator at Shirley will be completed. This elevator has been built by the Reliance Construction Company, of Indianapolis, C. E. Flora, chief contractor, assisted by Messrs. L. H. Reed, of St. Louis Crossing, Indiana, and J. H. Morrison, of Delphi, Indiana. The Shirley Grain Company is making elaborate arrangements for a grand opening that day.

H. C. Clark, the genral manager of the elevator, is preparing this opening, and has secured some souvenirs to distribute to those calling at the elevator, where refreshments will be served. He also has secured the services of an eminent agriculturalist, who will deliver an address, w'hich will be instructive and entertaining.

The merchants of Shirley have joined Mr. Clark in this grand undertaking, and will offer some extra values to the many who will attend this event, which will long be remembered.

There has been secured a bra^s band, which will be present during the whole time and will render some excellent music.

The Spangler Dry Goods Company is arranging to make an elaborate display of merchandise in their show windows, which will be systematically arranged and lighted wrilh electricity and handsomely decorated in stars and stripes.

Shirley has now one of the most up-to-date equipped elevators in this section of the country, and the manager promises to take proper care of all business that will'be given him. This has been a longfelt want for Shirley, which is the center of one of the best grain markets in the State. Shirley has two first class railroads, north and south, and east and west, and a main street that is second to none in the State, and all lighted with electricity.

On Monday, the 22nd, the Shirley Grain Company will be ready to receive grain, and will be glad if some of the farmers will bring in some grain on the grand opening day so as to demonstrate the workings of the elevator to the people.

It has taken the contractors sixty days to build this elevator.
