A few minor changes were to bo made In th executive sessions the committee held today. An agreement also was to bo reached 'on the fee schedule for auto licenses.

The next big task will be to secure the adoption of the intangible tax bill practically In the form is written.

To the rate of taxation real estate and'other property to the general property tax; 5.
