Commissioner West attended meeting of
the board of assessors yesterday by appoint
mcnt, with Il view of ascertaining from them,
rs far as possible, what would be the aggre-
gate values of real property in the district by
the assessment in progress. The board ex-
pressed the opinion that the aggregate value
of taxable property will, by their assessment,
vary little from the assessment made five
years ago. That some parts of the city have
vastly increased in value has already been
stated in THE REPUBLICAN, but an equaliza-
tion of values shows about the same total
throughout the district. The county is ex-
pected to remain unchanged in amount

the fourth district is increased 81 800, 900, the
fifth &5,60O,OOO, the sixth and seventh stand
