The subcommittee OF the Council
committee on equalization and appeals
put in the time yesterday finishing up
the work in the First and Second wards.
No reports have yet been made, in pur.
suance OF the committees idea that to
announce its action encourages other
hckers. The idea has gone out, how.
ever, that unless there is grave wrong
done by the assessors the figures will be
let alone, and il they are considered too
low they will be raised. In view Of this
two or three Eighth ward petitions were
withdrawn yesterday. About twenty
new appeals, scattered among nearly all
the wards, were filed with City Clerk
Thoner. These were as follows:

it would consume every day OF that
time to do it right. --
