PRECINCT ASSESSORS CUT TOTALS Big Decreases Noted In Returns So Far Made to the County Assessor by the Men Elected Last Fall, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May county is finding out that elective prec assessors are not conducive to uniform sessments or to an increase in the assessed value of property. While less than halt of the assessors have turned in their re- ports, these Indicate that the assessment | this year on personal property will be greatly reduced compared with valuations | last year. According to County As Miller there was a decrease of $2 one precinct, and of this $00,000 in money. In order to prevent an increase in the total assessment of parties in his precinct one elected assessor is sald to have cut down the number of head of stock when ordered to Increase the valua- tion. The county ass or dges not know Just how far this practice has gone, but will call the attention of the County ard of Equalization to it and perhaps find some way to get an honest assess- ment of property, though at this time he admits he is having a hard time. Cement Walks Instead of Cannls, The State Board of Public Lands and Buildings is figuring on putting in cement walks around the state house In place of the flagstone that is now there. The pres- ent walks for years have been nothing less than canals and every shower the water stands on the walks until it has dried everywhere else, 50 the board will try to improve things some. Once in discussing the state house walk, which are several inches below the ground, Colonel Jim Ager, then very prominent around the cap- itol, said: “I can think of but one bigger fool than the man who designed these walks. That is the man who would sink them deeper into the ground.” Hearing on Spur Track, The State Railway commission took evi- dence today In the case where in the Rock Island rallroad seeks to remove its spur track from Lincoln to University place. The commission recently ordered this road to construct a depot at University place on the main line. The witnesses summoned by Judge Holmes, attorney for the road, all testifled that che spur track Is of more importance than the depot located on the man line. This because the site picked out for the depot is about one mile from the busines part of the city while the spur track runs right into the heart of the busi- ness portion of the town. Judge Holmes indicated through his witnesses that the depot should be located on the spur track. Custer Strong on Candidates. It {s very evident there is considerable of a difefrence between the democrats of Custer county and there is a bare possi- bility that two entire state tickets will be put up for nomination by the two factions. Robert W. Fleming, Jr., of Berwyn, filed his papers this morning to be placed on the ballot as a democratic candidate for land commissioner, and W. J. Taylor candidate for congress on the same ticket, heads his petition. Some time ago Judge eDan tiled as a candidate for congress and W. H. Eastham came in a little later as a can- didate for land commissioner. Both Dean and Eastham are residents of Broken Bow, while Taylor lives at Merna, which shows that the Taylor-Fleming combination have two towns and the Dean-Eastham combina- tion has only one. Follmer Gets £1,100 Verdiet, George D. Follmer, former state land commissioner, was given a verdict for $1,100 in district court today In his suit aginst the state for $1,500. The sult was the outgrowth of the Boyd county land cases. Mr. Follmer, as land commissioner, objected to the plan proposed by the then attorney general, Frank N. Prout, for set- tling the controversy, so he employed Cap- tain Murfin of Lincoln to handle the case. The legislature of 1%5 appropriated $1,60) for the atorney’s fees and this was vetoed by Governor Mickey. The late legislature gave Mr. Follmer the right to sue the state. The judgment also gives Mr. Foll- mer Interest from February 25, 195, at 6 per cent. The Boyd county settlers flocated on school lands and the question was whether title to this land was in the state or in the government. The settlers insisted that the state should select other government lands In lleu of the lands upon which the settlement had been made and Mr. Foll- mer insisted this could not be done. The matter was later compromised after the Follmer contention had been upheld. In the Nebraska State Teachers' Insti- tute which convenes in Lincoln next week, provision is made for an interstate con- ference on certification. This {s & meet- ing of state superintendents who met to discuss systems of certification in force the various states. It will be thelr aim at. this meeting to establish harmonlous regulations for the certification of teach- ers, 8o that proper recognition can be glven in one state on certificates from other states, and to formulate such plans for recommendation to the state legisla- tures as will assist In carrying out re- ciprocal relations across state lines. The interest this subject is recelving from the state superintendents of other states, sald Mr. Bishop, shows the wis- dom of giving the certification of teach- ers an lmportant part on the Institution program. Letters accepting places on the program have been recelved from the following: John F. Riggs, lowa; C. G. Schulz, Minne- sota; Edward T. Fairchild, Kansas; Miss Katherine M. Cook, Colorado; John W. Zeller, Ohio; J. E. Clark, New Mexico; W. E. Harmon, Montana; Harlan Updegratf, National Bureau of Education, ined for Refusing Information. Miss Sarah E. Peck of College View, who three times refused to tell the census enum- erator how old she was and to give him other information he desired, pleaded gulity in federal court to the charge of refusing information and was fined $10. Miss Peck said she expected the enumerator to call again and in the meantime she had writen her mother for some of the informa- tion desired. She voluntarily appeared in court without an officer having to go for her. essor 000 in was Orthopedic Class Graduates, The graduating exercises of the class of the Orthopedic hospital were held In the senate chamber tonight.
