ing at Bloomington, commencing on Tuesday
and closing on Thursday. Most of the bust
ness was done in secret Among the public
business was the address by Master A. p For

of striking interest.
Among the committees appointed was one
on transportation, consisting of John :. Arm
strong and H. j. Bwmhall of La Sale, j. Nj.
Thompson of Joliet, J. A. Hendrix Ct Adams,
and \. Dunlap of Peoria. In reference to the
canal the committee reported resolutions,
which were adopted, in favor OF Il memorial to
congress, and instructions by our Legislature
to our representatives in congress, urging the
enlargement of the present canal to "a ship
canal.
Resolutions were passed in favor of an ell
cient drainage law, in favor Of Il general re-
duction of salaries of public officers and III
favor Of the free coinage Of silver.
The interest in favor of the canal is said to
have been intense, and many of the members
expressed their intention to attend the canal
meeting at Bloomington on the Both.

NEW COURT HOUSE SITES.
ASTONISHING ADVANCE IN OTTAWA real.
TATE

ASTONISHING ADVANCE N OTTAWA REAL Es-
TATE.
The difference between the value Of the sites
for the new court house, as fixed by the assess
or for taxation and the prices asked tor the
same ground for the county, is something be-
wildcring
The assessor must have placed the value at
bankrupt figures, or the owners gone crazy ON
initiation. The assessor is presumed to value
property at about what it would bring IN
money under ordinary clrcumstanccs-not at
II forced sale, but in the ordinary market for
city real estate; hut he presumes that as real
estate, especially here, Is not what merchants
call staple goods" the aid of brokers' neces-
sarv to bring buyer and seller together, and
therefore the price named IN Il deed is not al
WAYS that at which the vendor sells; conSe-
qucutly he puts real estate io"or tuan lis true
valuc-rivcs the benefit of the doubt 10 the
owner Yet though the assessor put property
at ever so low price, the average owner rare
~ fails to put in the usual amount OF grumh-
ling when the collector comes aronnd The
fact is owners ofpropcrty are given too much to
deprcciating their estate in the eyes of the as
SCISSOR, and sending it higher than Gildcroy's
kite before probable or even possible pur-
chase Something is wrong here, and the as
SCISSOR should see to It's remedy i'll the spring.
1t is unjust to those men who have property
which they hold at from $4,000 to $4,000 to
assess it at only 4 few hundred dollars! The
difference between the assessor and owners cs-
innate is simply awful! Here are the figures
on property offered by the owners in their own
handwriting to the committee on the new
court house, together with the assessed value
on the lots composing the prottered sites. The
proposals are at the court house, and can be
seen by any one, and the assessors and collect
or's books prove all that Is stated below
