FOURTH Ward DAY.
A COMPARATIVELY LIGHT NUMBER OF PETI-
TONS RECEIVED YESTERDAY,
By the Board Of Equalization and Appeals-Bil
List From the Seventh Ward to Be
Considered To-Day.

On Wednesday, on account OF the dis
agreeable rain which fell during the
day, the members of the Board OF Equl-
lization and Appeals decided to remain
in doors, and the entire afternoon was
put in, checking and comparing the
books. Yesterday was Fourth ward
day, and fewer petitions came in than
any other day. There were about thir-
ty to be considered. When Chairman
Farrell reported for order at 10 o'clock
the petit ons took the usual course, be
ing referr ed to the respective commit
tees without being read.
Chairman Farrell then appointed the
ward subcommittee, and they went TO
work before dinner. The First ward
subcommittee, consisting OF Messrs.
Wilson. Schuman, Kalbitzer and Krelt-
er, was transferred to the Third ward,
and the remaining members OF the
board, Messrs. Farrell, Emsheimer,
Bailey and Robinson. went 70 work IN
the Second ward. Both committees will
probably finish up their work to-day,
and petitions coming in from those dis
tricts will not be considered until all
Others are disposed Of. As the Board
did not examine any property on we'd
nesday, there was no report yesterday
morning.
Among the Fourth ward petitions
sent in, in addition to those published
in the REGISTER yesterday morning,
were the following:
