Last year’s realty val- j nations are used as the basis for! this year’s assessment, except in j cases in which improvements or de-1 istructive agencies have changed the Tropertj'. The work is lightened to a great extent by the abandonment j of the system of itemizing house- : hold property. This system was put into practice last year under the new I tax law but, proved so complicated ! that it raised a storm of protest.

The bandits evidently became frightened for they hastily drove away. No trace of them was found.
