Some might even hie themselves off to the, tall timbers, But Center Township Assessor Roy T.

Completion Set The program is expected to be completed by Apr. 1, 1950. “Most properties probably will stay at their current level,” Mr. Combs declared. “But actually; this reassessment is for the purpose of putting everybody on an equal basis, with no Increases In the over-all assessed valuation.” The new law empowers the Stat Board of Tax Commis-| sione.s to prepare rules, regulations, standards and conversion table forms to permit the assessment records of any township to be kept by either the square foot or cubical contents methods.

Strange creatures, these grown-ups, Johnny Mike Williams decided when they roused him from a nap for an artificial respiration demonstration at the Red Cross First Ald Class in Fleming Garden Christian Church, 530 8S. Taft St. They want him to sleep when he isn’t sleepy—they shake him awake when he's fast asleep. They want him well when he's sick —they have him pretend he's siek | when he feels fine.
