United States Commissioner W. E.
Perry. The bond of the former was
placed at two thousand dollars and

BIG SHORTAGE SHOWN
Assessed Taxable Values in Sum-1
ter Much Lower Than in Pre
vious Years Books Reveal
George D. Jones, tax receiver for
Sumter county, today stated tax re
turns for the current year, as shown
by his books indicate a substantial
decline in values throughout the
county. The principal decline in val
ues is in personalty, Mr. Jones said,
though in many parts of the county
realty has also been returned to low
er figures than heretofore.
The total loss in taxable values,
as returned by taxpayers, he said,
will be somewhere between $400,-
000 and $500,000. The estimate
was made following final closing of
the tax books, which are now ready
for revision by the board of equali
zation.
As soon as convenient the equaliz.
ers will begin the work of revision
and after all the returns have been
analyzed and equalized the board
will begin hearings. Taxpayers
whose assessments are raised by the
hoard will be given opportunity to
preesnt their side of the case, and
it is likely several weeks will be con
sumed in this work.
As soon as the board completes
its work the digest will be forward
ed to the state tax commissioner, •
who will t'<en pass upon and either
approve or reject the assessments
as sent to him.
REPORKMIIEO
INDIANAPOLIS, May ’ 21.—Dr.
Henry B. Master, of Philadelphia,
today submitted to the Presbyterian
general Assambly the 68th annual
report of the Presbyterian Board of
Ministerial Relief and Sustentation,
of which he is general secretary. He
said the fact that more than one
half of the Presbyci'-’a.i churches
had a membership of less than 100
apiece made necessary a pension
system sustained by the larger and
richer churches. The Presbyterian*
church was a pioneer in such a pen
sion system but it was inadequate.
The Relief Depaittnent of the
Beard needed $1,50(1,000 a year for
income for retired ■nniiste’.'S, widows
ind orphans of ministers, and for
support of the three Presbyterian
Homes and the tuberculosis sana
tarium. The Board needed another
$500,000 a year for the chuch’s
share of annuities in the Sustenta
tion Department, which is one-fifth
supported by the previous savings of
the annuitants.
Dr. Master pleaded for an en
dowment fund sufficient to care for
the growing demands of pensioners,
and asked the General Assembly to
set up a new laymen’s movemnt to
raise an additional endowment of
I $15,000,000 during the next three
I years.
