sponding to certain communications,
we take this method of advising that
our inventory of values on the tax
able date was $1,705 in the case of
Ewing and $2,256 in the case of At
kinson; therefore, we feel that you
have no just cause for assessing us at
a greater figure than our returns in
dicated.
Kindly advise us of your action in
the matter as early as possible, and
oblige.
Yours truly,

Dear Sir: Have your notice to ap
pear before the Board of Equalization
on June 28th to show cause why our
schedule on oil stock at Ewing, Stuart,
and Atkinson should not be raised the
afhounts quoted in your letter. The
figures as given you at those places
were the actual figures as shown by
our inventory, and such being the case
we cannot see how a request could be
made to raise these valuations. We
certainly believe your county desires
to be perfectly fair in this matter a?,d
we would appreciate it very much if
you would present this phase of the
situation to the Board of Equalization.
We have endeavored to be absolutely
fair in these matters at all times and,
as stated before, the figures turned in
are the actual figures as shown by our
books and as called for under the pres
ent laws of the state.
Will you kindly advise me in his
matter after presenting our side of the
case.
Very truly yours,
H. W. PIERPONT.
Mr. Chairman: In reference to the
folegoing letter upon investigation we
find that the Standard Oil Co. have not
filled out Special Schedule C in neither
Ewing, Atkinson or Stuart and have
not made a satisfactory showing why
their valuation on stocks of merchan
dise at the above named places should
not be raised, therefore I move you
that the valuation on stock at Ewing
be raised $1,276.00 making a total of
$5,000.00.' At Atkinson / $1,170.00
making a total of $5,000.00. At Stuart
$1,875.00 making a total of $5,000.00.
