may look like good business. But, Mister, when the
^appraiser sharpens his pencil—you'll pay!

State Women's Clubs
To Meet At Ypsilanti
With,-sayings effected by the city
•-officials "during* the past year by mak-'
: ing the final" "payment on the Oak-
'wood cemetery,' cutting" down water-
; works expenses" 'and. economizing, on
| street lighting, the outlook for a sub-
| stantial diminishing of the Saline tax
rate is highly favorable, according to
information handed out the], first of
the week.     " ".-^       -,-   -.■-
Despite the fact that the taxes" for
the past year may -have been a trifle"
higher than those of the-year-before-,
a small reduction in the- city taxes of
from $15.50 on $1,000 assessed value"
to $15.00 on $1,000 assessed value.-
wag already in force by the city, and
whatever increase -was involved: was,
brought about - from' another source.
On Monday a board of review, com-'-
posed of Councilmen -W. D. Cook and
Alwin Gross,', convened- in -the council chambers to .hear complaints v from
some-of our citizens who are of the
opinion that the assessed valuation,
on their property was too great.- No
doubt many of these persons ttoougat
the two- judges- unusually harsh in
their decisions, but in many cases; a
revision of the valuation -meant^-re^
vision of the 'valuati<**ps in an entire
neighborhood. It appears -that^jBf
not making a general reduction -in*
assessed values -the assesor .andxounr-;;
cilmen have used very good- judg-.
ment, because of .the fact that the.
city reductions will -more than, makeup for tEe difference,- and-that the
prevailing"values will appease county arid state appraisers who,, if valuations "were reduced^ would be likely to
come "in "and boost them to even
greater amounts than they are at
present,
* The present council has shown considerable" progress in adopting economic measures and, no doubt, will
continue to use its proven good judgment iiti the future. If taxes appear
too high to you, you -can rest assured
that they also appear-too high to
your, neighbors, and you can also rest
assured lha.t whenever the city officials are able to take on a new eco-'
nomic jheasure they will do so, an/*
although no exact figure of reduction
has been "handed' out the officials
promise to cut a, healthy slice from
the present "rate.

"It's, .a banknote drawn in 1831 on the
Bank of Saline, Michigan, at the
time one "of the old* 'wildcat' banks,'

"Well, I always heard $2 bills were
unlucky, but I didn't think the Government was that superstitious," the

She .rapidly ..changed" her ouinion
when Mr. Lau, an ardent numismatist, paid her $5 for the note, valuable
to coin .collectors, although intrinsically worthless. The woman smilingly applied, the $5-on her -tax bill.—
