The committee on equalization reported to board of supervisors Thursday afternoon. They added $120,000 to the equalized value of Ann Arbor city and $60,000 to Ypsilanti city, divided equally between the two supervisors districts.

They added $25,000 to Augusta, $23,000 to Sylvan and $30,000 to York.

They deducted $73,000 from Scio, $35,000 from Pittsfield, $30,000 from Salem, $30,000 from Saline, $15,000 from Webster, $5,000 from Bridgewater and $10,000 each from Ann Arbor town, Dexter, Lima, Lyndon, Lodi, Superior and Ypsilanti town, leaving the other towns as they were last year. There was no discussion but the matter was made a special order for 10:30 o'clock tomorrow.

The custody of the county money was awarded the Farmers & Mechanics Bank at 2 per cent. interest on daily balances and 5 per cent. on overdrafts. Dr. Pearson was made jail physician at $24 a year. The proceedings will be printed in English in the Argus-Democrat and in German in the Neue Washtenaw Post.
