the following Monday and largely In
creased a nuinlx-r o' valuations. An ap
peal was sustained by District Judge
Sears. The county apiealed to the su
premo court, wild h overruled the district
court and sustained tie validity of the
board's final 1MUI session.
The right firms made returns of Stil.37
personal property. This valuation vat
raised to fkNfi.OOO by the board. Taxes In
volved were the ls14 county and state
levies and the 1914 illy levy.
The valuations of the right firms were
ngiiin adjusted In 1!14 hy the last Board
of Kqiiallsatton.
The firms which appealed were the fol
lowing: farmers' Co-Operative Creamery

Klrschbraun & Son, V. M. Hushman
Warehouse company. M. Wollsteln A Co.,
C. Koo Fruit company, Mllwest F.lec
