THE SOUTH TOWN ASSESSMENT
hr. Drake, the Assessor Of South Chicago
has about completed his labors. His books will
be open for review on Monday morning at the
Office OF the South Town Board. All parties who
consider that theV have any grievances to COM
plain OF are invited to come forward and state
them. Mr.. Drake has been very energetic il
reaching the personal property Of the South Di-
vision. His assessment aggregates very nearly
million dollars more than has ever been reach
that a large number Of capitalists Of the
city have the great bulk Of their
wealth in United States bonds and other securi-
ties, which cannot be reached by law. These
men, on being appealed to By Mr.. Drake, have
consented to be assessed in the aggregate to the
amount OF $3.50, 0,000. From the operators on the
Board of Trade, whose personal property has
heretofore never been reached, Mr. Drake has
rakcd I'D about $575, 600 more, making in all in
the neighborhood OF s1,0o0,00o worth Of per-
sonal property hitherto untaxed. This begins
to look like an equal distribution Of taxes am
the people.
