Commissioners and Eqalizers.

The County Board of Equalization took a recess last week, from Thursday noon, until Monday mornings of this week, when they met again, with a full board present, and resumed the Herculean task of equalizing the assessments of the county. They completed their labors yesterday morning, but it is not practicable to give any satisfactory account of their proceedings until another week. The Board of Commissioners resumed their Tegular work, Thursday afternoon. The license saloon application case of John G. Reynolds, of Rensselaer, occupied all the afternoon, decision not being given until the next morning. The uemopstrance in the case was withdrawn bfefore its hearing was taken up, but the case still attracted so' much attention that the Board were obliged to move up into the circuit court room, to find space for their numerous auditors. The decision was ill favor of the applicant. The work of passing upon the township tax levies for the current year, and examining the Auditor’s annual financial exhibit occupied a large portion of Friday and Saturday. Numerous miscellaneous claims against the county were also disposed of.
