He an-: nounced that he would hand down “| ‘ decision within three weeks. ~The case, which required the great- er part of last week to try, resulted! m of the Burleigh county commissioners in granting E.| G. Patterson a rebate in taxes on his hotel property in Bismarck. A group of local taxpayers brouhgt action against’ the board to have the com- Promise set aside. When the case was first brought before Judge W. J. Kneeshaw, he ruled that the action of the board was final and was not appenlable. This point was tuken to the supreme court which overruled the decision of the lower court and ordered the case tried on its merits. Counsel for Patterson presented much evidence tending to show that the depreciation of the bi question had not been given proper consideration in making the assess- ments of the progeny, and that, as a consequence, the board’s action in re- bating a part of the taxes was proper.

LEVINE FLIGHT IS DELAYED BY FOG AND WINDS American Was Ready to Start Return Trip Today, But Hop- | off Is Postponed Cranwell, England, Sept. 6.-()-— Last-minute bulletins, telling of ad- verse weather conditions over the Atlantic, were all that prevented Charles A. Levine from getting away on his transatlanite hop this morn- ing. Levine, who flew to Germany with Clarence Chamberlin, hopes to be the first to make a transatlantic aerial round trip. Everything was in readiness for the start this morning when word was received of contrary winds rang- ing from 25 to 50 miles an hour ut various spots along the route. In addition, there was a dense fog over the airdrome which would have ren- dered a take-off hazardous. Levine arrived at Grantham, near here, at 1 o'clock in the morning, and for some time sat around the hotel there. A few hours later he came to the airdrome, and preparations for the getaway began. With his pilot, Captain Walter Hinchcliffe, he superintended the loading of 550 gallons of petrol, pre- pared rations for the long journey and then waited for the mist over the field to lift, expecting to start soon after sunrise.
