TAXPAYERS APPEALS.
The City Council Hearing Objections
TO the City Assessment

TO the City Assessment
TIE city council was in session for an
hour and half last night, listening to ap-
peels from the decisions Of the assessment
committee on the personal tax returns Of
thoss who had been raised by the com
mittse.
Before proceeding 70 take up the cases
Alderman Carson said that the decisions Of
the committee had been reached only after
carefully investigating and considering the
appeals before them, and he hoped that the
council before reversing any Of the de-
cisions Of TIE committee would frat call for
books and papers
J. Alexander was the first to be accorded
hearing. He was hdgety and laxative
clothing merchant, who had returned his
stock IN trade az 81 500 City Marshal
Wade had raised him To S., 900, and the as
sessmsnt committee had lowered il to
$4,000. The appellant refused to
state how much insurance he car
riss on his stock, and he could not
remember how much his stock inventoried
when he took stock last April. IS there
was nothing in his appeal except his IN
supported statement that he had looked
around, and saw that be had 81 500 worth
or stock and had sworn to 1t in making his
return, and as City Marshal Wade said he
haa refused TO accept Alexander's return,
and would not let him swear to it, the
council, on motion Of Alderman
McDonOugh, confirmed the action Of the
assessment committee by letting the assess
naent stand at $4,000.
The assessment Of Byck Bros. was next
taken up. They own two stores, one on
Broughton and one on Whitaker street., and
had returned the stock in trade Of each at
5000. This was raised TO $4,000 by City
Marshal Wade and the assessment commit
tee fixed it at $500. After some discus
sion on motion Of Alderman Myers, sec
onded by Alderman Cam, the action Of the
committee was reversed and the return was
allowed to stand.
There were some fifteen or twenty more
taxpayers on hand waiting to be heard on
appeal, but the council. having an engage
ment to call in body on Vice President
Morton at $50 o'clock, adjourned to meet
again tomorrow night.

LOOKING FOR LOTS.
A Compactly Built Citv.

There are very few places which contain
the same number of houses to an equal
area of land as this city does A walk over
this city, especially in the southwestern
and southeastern sections, will impress this
upon an observer. Another fact will be
conspicuous-the scarcity of lots. Renters
of small houses prefer these sections, be-
cause the ground is high. and convenient to
work. Lots have become very scarce. and
when well located. and particularly if on q
corner, are quickly ''gobbled up." Those
in quest of such lots should closely scan the
advertisements for the court house sales TO-

THE BIG PUMP STARTED.

A Few Joints Need Tightening Up and
It Will be in Working Order.
Steam was turned on in the big pump at
the water works at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, and the machinery was sub
mitted to the usual test for three-quarters
or an hour. The pump worked well. II
was found that a few Joints will mead
tightening up, and this will be attended To
to-day. In two or three DAYS the ponder
Gus machinery will have been limbered up.
and the pressure will be restored, so that
the complaints of no water above the first
floor will, lis believed, soon cease altogether.

TIE MORLD,s FAIR.


SO far as the House Of Representatives is
concerned, Chicago has won the Worlds Fair
by decisive majority. Whether New York
will endeavor to get the Senate to neutral
ize this victory is not yet determined. At
present writing the disposition seems to be
to accept the result, acknowledge that Chi
cago has won fairly and fully, and patriot
ically join with her to make the affair the
greatest possible success. After all, if the
fair is to be great commercial exposition,
best place for it. Presuming that the visitors
from Europe want to see America, it is much
better that they go to really American city
like Chicago, than to stop on the frontier OF
ourgreat country in city which ismore Euro
pean than American. There are more Irish
men in New York than there are in any
city in Ireland, and they have much more to
say about its business and Government. There
are more Jews there than in jerusalem, and
they have infinitely more commercial and
social importance. There are more Germans
there than in any of the second class cities OF
Germany, and they are very prominent in
everything. There are more Euglishmen
Italians, Poles, Bohemians, Dutch, etc, there
than can be found in any but the largest
cities of their respective countries, and they
have all brought with them the habits, GUS
toms, speech and methods Of thought oil
their native lands. This would make the
European visitor feel that he had only gone
| from one section of Europe to another. In
| Chicago, on the other hand, though there are
/ hundreds of thousands Of foreigners there
they rapidly assimilate with the native
population, and become as really and truly
| American as if born here. They regard thi.
country as their home, and the home o
their children and their children's children
and not as the great mass of New York for
eigners do that city-as merely good place
to make money, which they can 60 bacl
home and spend.
Again, if the foreign exhibitors want Il
show their products to the greatest numbe
of Americans, Chicago is the place for tben
to 90 to. The center of population is nearer
Chicago than any other great city except st
Louis, and it is easier of access for a create
number of our people.
We have believed all along that if thu
celebration of 1892 was to he great politi
| cal " function to gather together the repre-
sentatives of the peoples of the world thel
/ Washington, the political Capital of tn
| Nation, was pre-eminently the place to hol,
it. II, on the other hand, it was to be mad
a great commercial and industrial event
where the people of the world should disp!a.
their handiwork and show the progress il
the arts and sciences which have followed
the discovery Of America, then the place 10
such an exposition was one OF our gres
commercial capitals.
