C C Francis, tax supervisor for
jr-n wood county, has been named as
H t k -to the board of equalization.
Sonic weeks ago the board of com
missioners met and ordered a hori
ronfal cut in real estate valuation of
ton per cent. This step was taken
after much discussion of whether a
ho, ioii'.-U cut or a revaluation would
i.c- the botter plan. After a mass
meeting and a general discussion, the
timizonlal cut method was decided
upon. .
With the ten per cent relief, it U
expected -that -this -will eliminate a
Inn"- number of taxpayers from mak
ing a complaint to the board when
her meet (luring the next two weeks.

Mr. Price has taken an interest

The New York Evening Post
the following to say regarding
Price's retircment:
Thomas. Trice. secretary of
Union Pacific, who entered railroad
service as secrtary of the late E. H.
Harriman. today announced his re
tirement on pension.
Through the retirement of Mr.
Price' financial community loses the
active service of the man who was
undoubtedly more familiar with "he
details of the turbulent career of the
late railroad financier than any one
other than members of the Harriman
famiW.
Born and educated in England, Mr,
Price first became associated with the
Urlan Pacific in 1!07 as chief clerk
and assistant to the president. After
the death of Mr. Harriman. ho was
elected secretary of the Unjoin Pacific
Company, the position he held until
retirement today. In auuuion, ne
