Board CL/shes Ovrarorersonal rp4\ Assessment Uhptnnnan Unitt and Assessor ^Counsman Threaten to Quit During Deadlock With Other Members. ■ Threats to resign from the county board'of equalization were made yes terday hy Chairman Unitt, following > heated argument over the personal tax assessment of B. C. Grasborg, “>jsl9 Mason street, one of the Dundee residents who was summoned to ap pear before the board to show cause why his assessment should not be raised. The board previously had raised Cjrusborg’s assessment from $1,150 to Si,fiOO. Grasborg is employed at the Union Pacific Headquarters building. Because he is a salaried man, some members of the board expressed the opinion that the raise was excessive. Whereupon Chairman Unitt, who favored the hike in Ulashore's assess ment, threatened to quit his job if personal tax assessments are not equalized. Against Raise. C&unty Assessor Counsman, who was against the raise, also declared his intention to quit the hoard. The board adjourned to meet at 1:30. At 1:40 yesterday afternoon, Couns man and Unitt and Commissioner Dewey were the only members of the board in sight. Unitt had his hat on. "Are you still chairman of the board?" he was asked. “My hat is still in the ring. I’m going to fight it out,” he said. "I'm going to quit if this thing h<ep>s on," observed Counsman. Session Resumed. Shortly afterward, Commissioners Kubnt and Stroud entered the room, followed a few moments later by Commissioner Briggs. Commissioner McDonald was still absent. * "Let's get down to business." Counsman urged. “Here are all these people waiting for the hoard to get to work. 7,et’s tell them to go home or else try to satisfy them. This thing is getting to be a farce. McDonald isn't here yet. and some of the commissioners come in late. That's no way to do. We ought to, have all the commissioners hero or else send the sheriff after them. It posts tlie county $1 a minute fur zv- ry minute we are here.” The board finally resumed its ses sion at 2. lr\ inston Will Hold Basket Picnic on Fourth Looking for a place to spend the Fourth, where you will be away from the noise and turmoil of the city?

All records for receipts of hogs at the stockyards hy auto truck were broken yesterday when 3.000 head were brought to the unloading chutes. The nearest approach to the record of yesterday was April 10. when the receipts for hogs reached 2.687. The apace at the unloading chutes was jammed and at one time on the north side of the Exchange building 73 trucks carrying hogs were regis tered. Hogs began to arrive Thurs day night at 10 and the stream con tinued all night with the arrival of big and little trucks loaded with pork ers from outlying points In western low-a and Nebraska. The largest load was 20 hogs brought In from McClelland, la., while the smallest load was one big sow, occupying all the apace of a truck, from Wisner. Among those bringing in hogs by truck Was Charles Hansen of Fre mont, who traveled 57 miles, leaving at 5 a. m. and arriving at 8:30 a. in. A load of Hampshires was brought in by C. E. Warner of Hancock, la., who made the run of 40 intles in three and one-half hours. The biggest load was brought in hy Ernest Eyberg of McClelland, la. The hogs averaged 300 pounds. E. D.

William Jtay of Hilv^r Clly said it took him one hour and a half to make the run of 35 miles with a small load of hogs. The fact that Fourth of July Is ap proaching and cool weather are said to be greatly responsible for the record receipts. “Inhocent Bystander” Nabbed in Three Raids Special 1)1.patch to The Omaha Bee.
