GENERAL OFFICES NZW YORK AND CHICAGC ShaNFUES |y 81 TUE PRINCIPAL CiTiE By winning the fourth game of the | Philadelphia series yesterday the Bos- ton Braves became the champions of the world. The title was won four straight games, the only ones played and is the first time in the history of baseball that a team has accomplished the feat, although 1907 Chicago defeated Detroit in four games, losing none and tieing one. The Braves captured the National league pennant after one of the most sensational runs ever recorded in Laseball, the middle of July finding the Stallings aggregation in last place. A $13,000,000 Deficit. For nearly two weeks the state tax commission has been wrestling with the personal property assess- ment returns as made by the various county boards of assessment and the task approaches the Herculean. How to make up a deficit of nearly $13,- 000,000 which is the difference be- tween the returns this year and the assessment agreed to by the board a year ago is the chief difficulty and a settlement of the same may call for an arbitrary increase in more than half of the counties of the state. The returns as made by the va- rious counties show a decided falling off in more than half of the items in the four classes of personal property listed. This year returns are made on the basis of 25, 33 1-3, 40 and 50 per cent of the valuation, the firs named figure covering household property and this in a meagure may he responsible, but in the minus nl the tax commission, it hardly covers | the big discrepancy between last vear's assessment as made by the| commission and this year's returns. | In 1913 the total assessed value| for all personal property in the state as fixed upon by the tax commission | in| in! i was:$234,546,508. This year the re- turns-as made by the.86 counties of the state only totals $222,171,894. In addition, while nearly 334,000 in- dividual assessments were reported last year, only 320, 953 nml.{sted this time. - % - One of the interesting nected ‘with the returns made by the verious counties is the number of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and other articles of assessable value which are licited. Nearly all show an increase, but the assessment figures are not in keeping with the increase. That the the automobile is more;than evident. " | Another surprise is the number of au- several” tomobiles. The figure is thousand short of the number reg- |istered in the office of the secretary of state. | 5 End Long Controversy.
