Assessment of Realty.

EpIToRs CLARION: Permit me to make q
suggestion in reference to the assessment Of
realty. As the law now stands Assessors
are required to make an assessment oil
realty every four years and Of personality
annually. This system, / think, could be
very materially improved upon by passing
an act requiring the Chancery Clerk
to copy the land assessment roll on
file in his office every year with all the
changes appearing thereon as ordered
by the Board of Supervisors-he (the
Clerk being more familiar with it and bet.
ter qualified to make correct and proper
roll than any one else. This corrected roll
should then be presented, as is now DONE to
the Board of Supervisors at their August
meeting for equalization and correction and
when properly received the Clerk ordered to
make out the necessary number of copies
aud transmit, as now, to the Tax
Collector and to the Auditor OF
Public Accounts one copy each
By this system | claim that a better assess
ment Of realty will be made-the proper
changes in the roll will appear, and the tax
collector will have an unmutilated and cor
rect roll by which to collect the taxes every
year. | claim also that it will not only
give us much better assessments than can
or will be made by the assessor, but it will
be saving to the taxpayers when viewed
from financial stand point-the cost Of
the same only being the price Of the
blanks and the copying of the same. These
suggestions are not intended to make war
upon the Assessors, but to improve the present
system of making assessments and if they
are properly acted upon will be great and
beneficial improvement upon the present
unsystematic and old time custom of assess
ing realty. | hope the Legislature will act
upon these crude suggestions and pass an
act in accordance thereto.

THE silverphobists take particular
pains to say that there is large guam
tity Of silver in the Treasury, but they
are careful not to state the amount Of
silver certificates which have been issued
against those silver dollars, and which
those coins are held to redeem. Ac-
cording to the accounts rendered during
the last few months the amount Of sill
yer dollars in the Treasury is not vastly
IN excess Of the issue of silver certif-
Gates. And these certificates are the
best paper currency in the world.
They represent dollar for dollar of coin.

aunanx Nfrht FIRE.

Shortly before ten o'clock last even
ing, an alarm Of fire was sounded from
box 10, City Hall. Almost simulLa-
ne0usly large volumes Of smoke were
seen issding from the frame building,
No. East Fourth street, occupied by
James II. Shoemaker as Vari ~
store. The fire department quickly
responded to the call for aid and were
soon In service. In the meantime the
smoke had increased in such volumes
that 1t was impossible to see through
it in the immediate vicinity. 30
dense was it that the fremen were al
most unable to reach the burning
building. Notwithstanding the almost
suffocating atmosphere they soon had
ladders erected and streams direc,e cd
upon the burning building.
During all this time no fire could
be seen and they were obliged to cut
holes in the roof, when it was found
that the flames were coniined between
the ceiling OF the second floor and The
roof. Streams Of water were quickly
directed into the apertures cut in the
roof, and by degrees the volume of
smoke was lessened, and after halt an
hours work the Ere was supposed to
have been entirely extinguished, but
such was not the case as IL broke out
again about midnight, but was
quickly subdued.
In endeavoring to reach the burning
building o fireman while walking over
the store of 8. w. Schultz, tobacco
mist, next door, fell through a sky
light. This OF course made an open
ing through which considerable water
found its way, thereby damaging Mr..
Schultz to the extent of about $50.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
it 10 supposed to have been Of an in
cendiary origin. Mr.. Shoemaker was
in the habit Of sleeping in the second
story room, but at The time of the fire
he was fortunately absent, otherwise lie
might have been smothered with the
smoke.
The building belonged to Mr.. Shoe
maker and was insured In the Far
msis' Mutual Insurance Company fol
| 1000. The stock in the building
amounted to about 50, 900. upon whict
there is an Insurance Of $4,000 IN the
Liverpool, London and GloOe, and the
Phenix Insurance company.

MAJOR ANDRE was a spy. He knew

condemned and executed, as are all men
