HOW ABOUT THIS?
Councilman Frankenield and His Lot
Bob up Again.

A few days ago the Times contained
an item headed "a Little Trick" which
narrated how business man had tried
to have the assessment on his lot
reduced by the council, and how mem
Der knocked him out. He returned the
next day on other business, and the
Times said: "While he was waiting,
the member who knocked him out the
day before successfully put through lot
and got the rate reduced just one-half.
The number sounded familiar 10 the
business man, and little inquiry
showed that the lot was adjoining his,
belonged to the member and was origin
ally assessed just the same as his own
lot. The chances are that there will be
an investigation in the near future,
when the whole thing will be brought
out"
Chapter second was given in the
Times of the following day when, after
reciting the facts as above, it said
YESTERDAY afternoon President Frank
enfield of the council called at the
Times Office to make statement, that
is, if tine article referred to him.
Mr.. Frankenfeld said that he had
asked for reduction of the assessment
ON the lot owned by his wife on Grand
avenue, and the council, after hearing
the facts, granted it. The lot in ques-
ton is only So feet deep, while the
adjoining lots are 165 feet in depth.
Besides this, q deep ravine runs through
the property. 1t being corner, OF
