MAN WHO BOUGHT TIGER LILY BLANKET FOR VIRGINIA RAPP LOSES HEART AGAIN

State Tax Commissioners Send Out Letter of Advice; Duties Under Law Cited. ITDIAAPOLTS, May 27. Inatructiona and advice for county boards of review which "begrln their annual sessions June 1 are contained in a letter the state board of tax commissioners has cent to the county bodies. The boards kave a certain amount of original tax appraising to do; have to review appraisements appealed from township assessors, and also have to harmonize tax valuations in various parts of the counties. Members or representatives of the state board will visit the county boards from time to time. How taxpayers' "property should be appraised by the county boards and other procedure regarding the fixing of appraisements are explained in the letter as follows: "There is no more important work to be done by any public officer in the state than now devolves upon you in bringing about a correct valuation of "property in your county. The law makes it your duty to 'correct all errors in the names of per aoxia. In the description of the property upon said lists, in the assessment and valuation of nrnnf'rfv

thereon, and shall cause to be done whatever else imay be necessary to ! make said lists and returns of assessments comply with the provi- S sions of this act. The board shall j

pass upon each valuation and enter the values as fixed hy it in a separate column. The board may, on sufficient cause being shown, or on its own action, correct the assessment of valuations of any joperty

in such a manner as will in its'

Judgment make the valuation thereof jUist and equal.' POWER TO EQUALIZE VALITATIOXS. "The law further says that your board shall also have the power to equalize the valuations made 'by the assessor either by adding to or deducting therefrom such sums as are necessary to fix tho assessment at the true cash value." Such equalization can affect any class of property. "Tou should examine the reports from the different townships and see that there Is equality among the townshjps dn your county. If any township assessor's valuations appear to be too low, you should not hesitate to make such adjustment that eacfa township will bear its "proper part of the tax burden. The great "bullc of the taxes are thnsa levied by the smallest units. Dainty and state taxes are very Jfif;h less than the tax collected In '.h'i township, or city, or town for 'local purposes. "Tou should examine the domestic errporation reports and the supplementary information and ascertain whether all the information required by these forms is given and we urge upon you to see that an assessment as is required by law is made in your county. It ds your duty to see that all property in your county is assessed at not more or less tUan its true cash value. "In the assessment of all real estate you should be governed by Sec

tion 142 of the tax law, which pro-;

vides that all real estate shall 'be valued at its full true cash value, which Is the price it 'would bring at a fair voluntary private sale, not a forced or sheriff's sale.' SOME HAVE ERROXEOrS IDEAS. "Some taxpayers have the erroneous idea -that valuations in the eous idea that valuations fix the amount of the taxes they pay. The spend. In other words, .the question valuation only fixes the basis on which the tax rate is estimated, and the rate depends upon the amount of money the officers are going to of taxation is: How awuch money shall we spend? The real time to limit the amount of the taxes is w!hen the "budget is prepared by the local officers and submitted to the public the last week in August. Tax rates are fixed the first week In September."

TIRE COMPANY

CHANGES

ITS POLICY

In the miniature republic of Andorra the women are not permitted to eat at the same table with their husbands.

The following letter is self-explanatory: Brown Tire Co.. 168 Fayette St., Hammond. Kelly-Springfield, Distributors for Lake County: The recent move made by the Kel-Jy-Springneld Tire Company, in consolidating its general offices in the new ibuilding at 250 West 57th ftreet, New Tork, is indicative of more than merely an effort to organize more efficiently the executive branch of its large business. The truly interesting and significant feature cf the re-organization of office arrangements is the fact that the New York branch 'has been moved to the company's warehouse at 553 West 57th street, a step which is really equivalent to giving up the branch altogether, since it has now no display rooms, sales counters or any of the other appurtenances of the usual tire store. For many years the Kelly Company, in common with oeher large tire companies, maintained handsome and attractive showrooms. The Kelly Company, however, realized that with the stabilizing of the industry the maintenance of these expensive establishments was a relic of the prosperous days of a rapidly growing industry rather than an economic necessity for a concern manufacturing articles that have now become almost staple products. With the discontinuance of all retail sales a step which was taken to protect the dealer the factory branch was deemed an unnecessary expense which only added to the overhead; in cutting out this expense in all cities, which the company intends to do as soon as practicable, a considerable saving will be effected, and it was partly in anticipation of this saving in operating costs that the prices of Kelly products were recently brought down to a competitive basis. The company intends to establish warehouses in various centers of distribution where railroad facilities are best fluted to srive prompt serv

ice to its dealers, and where it now maintains brandies these will be supplanted by offices, which in many cases will be in the warehouses themselves. There seems to be good reason to believe that this move of the Kelly Company in 'being the first to discontinue its branch in the largest city of the country roay forecast the attitude of other large tire companies with respect to the future conduct of the industry in an endeavor to bring the tire business to the same point of economic perfection as that which marks the older lines of trade.
