REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
AND APPEALS.
The Lower Wards Keep Up With the Procession.
Petitions Sent in From the Sixth
and Eighth Wards.

Complaints are still pouring In upon
TIE Board OF Equalization and Appeals,
and the members will have their hands
full for some days yet. The gentlemen
have gone to work with a determination
to get through as soon as possible, while
at the same time being careful not to
neglect the interests OF any petitioners,
and have accomplished great deal.
They have profted by the experiences
Of the frat few days, and have adopted
methods which greatly facilitate the
transaction of the business Of the
Board. The work, as matter OF
cour Sc, is very irksome, and of a nature
to oe avoided If possible, but the mem
bers have not yet complained.
Yesterday morning the committee
met promptly. The assessors for the
district south Of the creek were present
and requested the Board to recommend
to Council last night, that they be paid
in full for their services. The question
then arose as to whether the assessors
were entitled to pay for q longer time
than the ninety days for which they
were employed. The subject was fully
discussed, and the Board finally decided
to recommend to Council that they be
paid only the difference between what
they have already received, and the full
pay for the ninety days. The suo-com-
mittees for the Second and Third wards
were relieved temporarily, and the fol-
lowing appointments made: Seventh
ward, Messrs. Kreiter, Emsheimer,
Wilson and Robinson: Fourth ward,
Messrs. Farrell, Schuman, Bailey and
Kalbitzer.
The committees worked In their re-
spective districts during the remainder
OF the day. Mr.. Robinson had arranged
matters for the Seventh ward in such
shape that a great deal OF ground was
covered The subcommittee examined
eighty pieces of property up to last
night, leaving forty1siX for to-day. vi
this number % were reduced, 46 refused
and increased.
One or two amusing cases were
brought to light yesterday. A South
Side lady had sent up petition, pray
ing for a revaluation, because her
neighbor was assessed $50 lover. This
was the only reason given. A postal
card was received yesterday morning
withdrawing the petition. Another
lady who complained that she had been
the Third ward, came up yesterday to
ascertain what action the sub-commit-
tee had taken, and was Informed that
the val uation upon her property had
not been reduced, but her neighbours
had been increased. She went away
satisfied.
