Tax Board Hears McCray Appeal Over News Valuation
The State Board of Tax Commissioners spent most of yesterday morning hearing Frank McCray's appeal of Marion County's assessment of the Indianapolis News at 5700. Ex-State Senator Ferdinand Winter represented the News with McCray arguing the paper's value is its tangible assets, while Major Richards testified about plant value and a mortgage taken at receivership. Williams explained the AP franchise as a news cooperative carried on at expense, not profit, amid questions of monopoly reach and utilization. Two other appeals followed, including Michael Grimmer's over Standard Oil property at Whiting and Indiana Bermudez Asphalt's protest of Marion County assessment, with debate over bonds and tangible property.

Seedless plants and Florida observations by Welch
John R. Welch ponders why many plants are seedless and how they propagate in nature without grafting. He notes seed presence in Florida, suggesting semi tropical life favors seedlessness and irregular blooming reduces cross fertilization, unlike temperate zones with defined seasons that promote fertility.

Seedless navel orange history and spread
The navel orange is largely seedless and popular with buyers. It arose in Bahia Brazil in 1874 after samples were sent to William Saunders. Propagation began on government grounds, with plantings in Florida and California. Florida saw limited production unless on rough lemon stock, while California became prolific and boosted the orange industry. Seeds remain rare and the seedless trait spurred much speculation.
