AND Still THEY COMB.
SNErY-TwO ADDITIONAL PETITIONS FILED
AT THE CITY HAIL.
Protesting Against the Rsasssssmsnt Of Real Estate
Ysstsrday-Ths Board Will Take Up
the Fifth Ward Tomorrow.


up to the close of the City Clerks office
at four o'clock in the afternoon, ninety
two papers had been sent In, while
number OF others were shown that the
increase in their taxes would be a trifing
sum and went away satisfied, and still
others took blanks which will be filled
out and sent in on Monday. In all
there were perhaps hundred and nifty
to one hundred and seventy-6ve citizens
at the City Hall during the day,
which showed that the diminu-
tion In the current noticeable on
Friday was but temporary. No
session of the Board was held yester-
day, but tomorrow morning it will con-
vene at ten o'clock, and after referring
the Fifth ward petitions, the work OF
reconsidering complaints in uptown
wards will be resumed. At the rate
things are going 1t is impossible, in the
opinion Of some, for the subcommittee
to get at work on the South Side before
another week.

submitted yesterday from the wards

tional list from the Fifth ward, which
