ers has sent a letter to County Auditor

ii ..- being strongly urged that th county commissioners and taxing offi cials use great care in making a lev in September upon which taxes fn:
next year will be collected. The board
points out that it is highly important
that no greater a burden than abso
lutely nec 'ssary be placed upon the
neople in the -.cay of tuxe
The commissioners and county council will be in st?in next month and
arrange the levy. The state board is quite
that every possible expense in local
government be eliminated and that
.he harden be made as light as pos .idle s there are many unusual de
T.fimis being made upon the people
tl .s year and they will have all they
ao Hand witno'it putting upon then' additional public expense. Letter to Auditor. The letter from the state board i: i.i follows: "Through vigilance of as-.es-inp offii er and hv reason of enan'd values incident to censideraimi aHecling the country, ihe taxih of the slate have been increa,ei liiiio: t MIUKXMKN) during the pravni veal, and your special attention i.-
a ied to this 'aet at this time so that

'ou- a-sessnient, even in violation of 'aw. is that taxing authorities do not lake advantage of such inep-as - to wntij? more money from the t.ixpaM I --CaU.-e of sui ii iiK-rea.-e.-. and therer y idd to ihe burden of taxation. There -l o'jld he no basis for such an aigu--rent, an-1 the .state Tax Hoard ear-'.-!,-l-.iKs that where the im lease r, values is iilticierit to warrant a rei'M't'on in levie:-, that same may he affolded.

Of ce-irse people are inquiring of everybody e:se "whs", is the matter with the court house clock?" The town seems all wrong without the clock's familiar striking and its correct time. It came to a stop yc ,terday afternoon shortly after 2::tn, and the hands will probably stay there for several days. The cable holding the big striking weight had become runted and broke, putting the striking out of commission. Also, the 12,'iO-pounil weight, falling on the works of the ( lock, ao badly damaged and jarred it up, that new parts will have to be ordered before it ran be repanrd. lh H.
