STILL COMING In.
PETITIONS STILL BEING PRESENTED TO THE
EQUALIZATION BOARD,
But There Are Indications That The Worst is Over

Falling Of in the Protests.

the Board when IL asSemOleu d. ten
o'clock yesterday morning, making a
total of between ninety and one hun
dred for that ward alone. The mem
bers Of the Board were all present but
Mr.. Robinson when Chairman Farrell
called the body to order. The grlst OF
petitions were referred to the suo-com-
mittees without being read, and the
Clerk announced that he had about
twenty additional petitions from the
Second and Third wards. and two or
three more from the First ward. THESE
were laid aside, to be taken up after the
list OF wards had been gone through
with, in regular rotation, and then the
two subcommittee went to work, one
in the Second ward and the other in the
Third. 1t is likely, from the way
things are now going, that the sub
committee will not get down to the
Fourth ward before Tuesday, and
through with the Island before Thurs
day of next week, so that, so far as
practical results are concerned, it will
be about another week before petitions
from the wards lying south OF the creek
can be taken up for examination by the
subcommittee. However, next Monday
is Fifth ward day, and below will be
found summary OF the grist OF petit
tions from that ward, filed with the City
Clerk, up to the close OF business yes
terdsy afternoon.
There are decided indications that the
food of petitions Is Stacking up, and that
within the next few days the receipts
will be very small.

tions published in the REGISTER yestor-
day morning, the following were
received yesterday from that ward
