Commissioner Michael Coleman, president OF
the Tax Department, has written a JudlclouS
and forciblc letter to the Deputy Tax Commits
sioners, protesting strongly against the action
of the deputies, who have made marked in
crease in the assessed values of real estate i'll
all parts OF the city. Mr. Coleman gives the
soundest reasons for his objections, and his
letter is sure to be commended heartily, both
by real estate owners and rent-payers. Higher
assessed valuations of real estate are inevitably
followed by higher rents, and neither owners
nor renters in the present condition OF business
in this city can afford to carry heavier burdens
than those which they now bear The blame
for the proposed increase of valuation must, OF
course rest upon Tammany Hall, which aims
TO deceive the supplemented By an apparently
low tax-rate, which is really based upon an
exorbtant valuation.

In going out of Savannah the cars
were pretty we'll crowded, but a
drummer for a Philadelphia house
had preempted two whole seats just
the same, and was taking things
mighty coolly. Just after leaving
the depot he went into a car ahead
on some errand, and he had no sooner
disappeared than the drummer of a
New York house took the vacated
seats. He removed all the baggage to
the aisle and put his own on the seat,
and he was reading a paper when the
the Philadelphia returned.
"By heavens! but you are cool
one!' he gasped as he took in the
situation.
Thanks" replied the other, as he
lifted his hat. please repeat in a

his traps and took half a seat and
