Mr.. McClung also was present and wanted
the assessment for grading Oakland avenue
spread over more territory. Or the grading
stated and proposed in the
Sixth ward the present year the grading of
George street alone has not been met with
objections from the property owners. The
grading of Dakota and Oakland avenue,
COTE, Starkey, Winifred, Robbie, Concord
and Ada streets has met with opposition, and
in some cases the kicking against assess
ments has been quite lively.

MINI ESOTA TAXES.
What the State Board of EqualiZa-
ton, in Session at the Capitol,
is Doing.
The Minneapolis Assessment Reduced 10 Per
Cent, and an Attempt to Raise Ram
sey County Is Per Cent.

The state board of equalization reconvened
at the house of representatives, state capitol,
Yesterday afternoon at 2:3O. Mr. Dawson,
of St. Paul, was in the chair, and a call OF
the roll by State Auditor Braden showed
quorum present.
Since the meeting of Saturday certain
members of the board had been making cal
culations on the reduction of the real estate
assessment of Minneapolis and raising that
of the remainder of the state. At the Satur-
day meeting Minneapolis was reduced 20
per cent and the state raised per cent.
State Auditor Braden said it was the prvi-
lege of the board to reduce the state assess
ment by per cent, and that by making
reduction in the Minneapolis assessment OF
Is per cent, the rest of the state might be
left as at present. Mr.. Bassett, the Henne-
pin county representative, was not present,
but Attorney General Han stated that he
didn't believe he would object TO the ID per
cent. reduction.
On motion of Mr.. Poehler, the action re-
ducing the assessment of Minneapolis 20 per
cent. was reconsidered and the reduction
made Is per cent. On motion of the same
gentleman, the assessment of the state at 3
per cent advance, was reconsidered and the
assessment allowed to stand as before the
action of'Saturday.
Mr.. Hennessy and delegation of farmers
from Mclean township, Ramsey county, APP
pearcd to protest against the action of the
board in raising the assessment Of that town
ship 100 per cent. Mr. Hennessy stated that
sT nv bp
county board was 800. 40 per acre, on New
Canada $3.50, on Reserve $16790 and on
Rose 5000. He said there was not an acre
of land in Mclean thatwould sell for $3.50,
whereas in the other towns named, all of
them fronting on the city limits, some land
sold as high rs 81 600 an acre. He thought
if there was any irregularity it was in favor
of the other towns, and he prayed
that the assessment be allowed to remain as
now.
Mr.. Dawson mOveda reconsideration of
the motion raising the assessment 100 per
cent. He said he was the mover of the or
iginal motion, but he had since found that
the land on which he based his motion for a
raise was in New Canada. The motion was
carried and the assessment was left as made
by the Ramsey county board.
Mr.. Compton, of Fergus Falls, said the
remarks of Mr.. Hennessy suggested to his
mind that the assessment of Ramsey county
outside of the city of st. Paul should be
raised. If some Of the property was worth
81, coo an acre the county needed raising to
equalize it with the rest of the state He
moved that the assessment Of Ramsey county
be raised - per cent; but there was no sec
ond to his motion.
The board then went into consideration of
personal property, and equalized the assess
ments on horses, cattle, mules aud asses,
sheep, hogs, wagons and carriages, sewing
and knitting machines, watches and clocks.

Special Telegram to the Globe.

Chicago & Northtcestern Debenture Bonds.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. S.-Respecting the charges
that the Chicago IL Northwestern Railroad
company contemplated the issue of new
debenture bond, and that it has also failed to
borrow money of Mr.. Vanderbilt, Vice Presi-
dent Sykes says the statements are such an
outrageous and wicked aspersion that per-
haps they carry their own cure. He calls at
tention to the statement in the last annual
report that the stockholders at their June
meeting authorized the issue of $4,000, 600
debenture bonds for the purpose therein
stated. The company has not made and
does not contemplate any other issue
of bonds. The intimation that the
company has failed to borrow 1000, 600
of Mr.. Vanderbilt is false in thought, ex
preston and statement in every possible
way. Application has never been made to
Mr.. Vanderbilt to loan the company money.
1t is not in need of money, and in fact has
81, 1000, 900 in bank which it does not know
how to use until the time arrives for its dis
bursements. 1t is learned that the
Northwestern company sold last week to
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of this city, 81, 500, 600 of
the schedule bonds referred to by Mr.. Sykes.
