ed by the city authorities to examine the
records of the circuit clerks office, with a
view of making a statement of all the re-
corded mortgages of Rock Island citizens,
for the purpose of assessment and tax
atien.
About eleven pages of legal cap have so
far been filled, and the examination has
only been conducted through the letter
''R".
The aggregate of these securities as
recorded is 1896, 213, So 1t is expected
that the total amount when the work is
concluded, win reach $500, 600, although
that amount may be decreased by personal
explanation and releases when incorporat-
ed In personal assessment.
8 The assessors ON Wednesday, autheriz-
ed the county clerk to bring the matter
before the beard of supervisors, and sug-
gested the propriety of having such an ex-
animation of all the townships.
II is maintained that it would be unjust
to tax such security in the hands of citi
gems of Rock Island and allow the resi-
dents of the rural districts to escape taxa
ton.
The subject will excite considerable in
terest when brought before the supervi-
sOrs.
