HAS MEETING
The Commissioner’* Court was
in session Monday and Tnrsday
of this week a.id transacted the
following business in addition to
the equalization work:
Pensions were granted to Thos
Carrasco and Benito Salasar of
$10. and $5. respectively . County
Attorney !.L.Martin was allowed
a monthly salary' of $60. accord-
ing to statute.
TheCourt raised the valuation
of the Chisos Mining Co, property
from $50,000 to $200,000. The
Company’s agent was present
and entered a protest after which
the Commissioners raised it to
$500,000. with the County Attor-
ney and some of the others ask-
ing that it be placed at $5,000,000
The court adjourned to meet in
July w’hen a further protest from
the company will lie heard. In
all liklihood the valuation will lie
placed at a much higher figure at
that meeting for there'is a stong
sentiment among the taxpayers
of the county that concerns which
do a million dollar business an-
basis as smaller concerns.
'HAVE
The Red Cross rooms have been
repainted, six new lockers pet in,
and rehauled generally. The
ladies are now asking that p»j
plants be donated to the rooms.
Work was resumed Monday,
after a week of rest and at! ike
women have entered :n:i the
w'ork with a new spirit.
