TWO WARDS FINISHED
Figures of the Board of Revision on
the Eighth and Eleventh.
REDUCTIONS ARE NOT SWEEPING.
Books Will Be Ready by the Time the Tax
Levy Is Decided Upon.
ASSESSORS HAVE RETURNED TO WORK

yising the triennial assessment is again un-
der headwav.
Assessor Larllin put in appearance at the
Office yesterday, and, with Assessor Hoerr,
got to work on the books of the Eighth and
Eleventh wards. The former they COM
pleted and the latter is in such shape that a
few hours work will finish it. Chief AS
SCISSOR Case is still confined to his home, but
expects to get down to work tomorrow or
next day.
The Assessors clerks began yesterday the
work of preparing the tax duplicates for the
City Treasurer or, in other words, copying
from the Assessors books description and
the valuation of every piece of property In
the CITY. This work will be continued as
fast as the revision of wards is completed, so
that bv the time the tax rate is fixed and the
appropriation ordinance passed, it will only
be necessary to go through the books and
place the amount of taxes opposite each
property holders name.
Necessity for Hurrying the Work.
As from present indications the ordin-
ance will not be passed much before the
middle of March, the necessity for getting
the books well advanced is apparent 1t is
only during March that the per cent dis
count can be allowed on the September in
stallment of taxes.
The revised figures in the Eighth ana
Eleventh and Thirty-fourth ward assess
ments are given below. 1t will be seen that
in both wards the valuations on nearly
every street have been cut down, as the re-
suit of the appeals made by property hold
ers. The Eleventh ward revision will
probably he completed to-day.
