Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-02-25

Board of Assessors.
The appeals indicate that in the Four
teenth ward probably as much as in any
other in the city fight will be made on the
classification question. A statement il
one case shows that in large por
tion of the ward there is only one house
to an acre. 1t is argued that this is wha
should be called "rural" and taxed accord
ingly. Notice is given that this classified
tion will be insisted upon, and if the Boart
of Assessors does not act as suggested con
test is almost certain to result
Among the appeals filed yesterday were
the following:
