They are $36,010 apart, as Gil- lette claims ‘the property is worth no more than $22,850 for taxable purposes, while the board of relief has put his list for October, 1821, at’ $58,360. He got Some abatement f the board of re- Hef but not enough, he claims. An unfinished stope house on the prop- erty and the actor's bats with a dock end basin are the principal items in whieh there is a wide divergenee in the estimate of values, Gillette says the house ought not to be assessed for more than $20,000 but the board of- relief has made it $50,000.

Gillette complained to the board of ra- liet of the amounts that had heen as- scsged on his property and asked that the yaluation be placed at a totdl of $22,- 350 as follows: stone dwelling house, unfinished $29,000; storehouse near doek $300, 17 acres of land $300, bieycle and motoreycle $100, piano $450, vessels and boats $500, dock and basin $500. The board of relief did make some re« duction from the amount which the as- sessors had placed on the property but It Was not enough to satisfy Gillette. The board of relief placed the valuation of | ot 8500, with $500 on the dock and bas- in. The board of relief sees a much greater value than that and calls the vessels and boats worth $4,000 for tax- ation while the dock and basin are put! in the list at $3,000.

Later experi- ments were made by filling the ruts and holes with hay and straw and this has met with very good results, as the ma- terial makes a sort of matt'ng of suf- ficlent strength in preventing the wheels of automobiles breaking through. The unimproved sections are two in number and are each abrgt three-quar- ters of a mile In length, so that the trip ought nat to be so very bad, and of course the distance Is considered less than by any other route. +The work of putting on the shoulders on the new state road has begun along the line and as soon as the ground is #ettled the work of finishing the con- creting on the two sections unfinished will begin. There are about 4,000 feet in the Dark Hollow section and about the same between Salem and Chesterfield. | —— - WILL BEGIN LUTHERAN SERVICES AT BALTIC Lutheran services at Baltic, as a part of the home mission work of that ge- nomination, are t)> b& begun there Sun- day in the town hail and will be held ev- ery other Sunday from now on.
