THE DOOMSDAY BOOK.
Assessment Roll Of City and
County Property.
ARRANGEMENT TO TRANSCRIPT.
City Comptroller and County Assessor
Agree ~ to the Plan-Approved
by Aldermen.

The city is required by the charter to
have an appraisement made OF all property sub
tect to taxation, beginning April l. The city
comptroller Ii ex ofiicio assessor for the city.
Hitherto the city has purchased q transcript Of
the rolls made ont by the county assessor, but
the necessity OF an oath as to their correctness
by the city assessor seemed to require that the
valuation should be made by distinct force.
The difficulty will probably be overcome by
swearing in the county assessors deputies Is
deputies TO the city assessor, and sharing the
expense with King county.
President Hail made a recommendation to
that effect to the board OF aldermen last night,
and his views were very generally endorsed.
Comptroller Ferris said he had called attention
to the matter of separate assessment roll for the
city at = meeting OF the advisory board last No
ysmber. He felt satisfied that the best plan was
vided that the city roll must agree as nearly a.
possible with the county roll. and it was pos

provided the other Commissioners would agree.
since then they have consented. l have taken
charter provides that I shall do it, think it
would be better for the city council to sanction
such an arrangement by resolution.
"There is no doubt of the advantage of the
the tendency of the recent policy is to unite
the Offices OF city assessor and county assessor,
and those of county tax collector and city tax
collector, there is another Yeasoc why the ap-
praisement should be done this way"
Mr.. Frank Paul, the county assessor, who was
also interviewed on the subject, concurred in
ail that Comptroller Ferris said.
81 believe, be added, "that the cost to the
city for an independent valuation would be
more than that estimated by the Posr-INTELLl-
GEScER Not only would it have to pay all the
costs as estimated, but the preliminary work for
the first year would probably run the bill up to
$1,000. The work has been done very satisiac-
torily to the county and city under previous as
SCISSORS, and had the advantage OF their expert

EFFECT OF COMPETING ROADS.
They Increase, Not Diminish, Business
Of Already Existing Roads.

sit is not good thing for railroad itself to
have monopoly of the business Of a city or
section, such Is the Southern Pacific has in
California and San Francisco said r. 81. Tyn-
dale. yesterday. 1.-THE building of q competing
road increases the development of the country
so much that it produces not only enough bust
Dess Tor itself but an increase of business for its
rival. The truth Of this statement was proved
when the Northern Pacific railroad was COM
plctcd, establishing all rail connection between
the Sound and San francisco. l was the man
sger OF the Oregon Improvement Company, and
we were running the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company's steamers between San Francisco,
Portland and the sound. For a few months
business fell of, but Ii then began to pick up, az
the newly opened country developed and bust
ness bacame adjusted to the new conditions.
For some time we paid 25 per cent. dividends, in
the face OF this new competition.
81 believe that this new experience will be
repeated in the case of the new roads to the
Sound. the Great Northern and Union Pacific
roads will cause such an increased development
OF the country as will increaseathe business of
the Northern Pacific within year after their
completion. A railroad monopoly Is not good
thing even for the monopo.ist."

cargo. She goes 10 Liverpool =.
The elevator Is now pretty well filled with
wheat other grain and cement, but little more
wheat is coming in. The bulk OF the wheat now
being shipped from Eastern WASHINGTON is now
going to Chicago. The reason is that ali the
coast elevators are now full or nearly So tonnage
is scarce and high and prices for wheat are
lower than at Chicago. Thus ii is Cheaper TO
send wheat TO Eastern markets by rail- which il
