Wards.
"Can I get some Of those blank kick
ing papers," was the salutation OF a
man who entered the city clerks office
yesterday. All day the Kicking
papers, were piled up on the clerks
desks, and several hundred new ones
were received. The same old COM
plants of discrimination and incom-
petence were the burden OF the song
they sang. One petition that came in
was from Mr.. W. S. Foose, and was
based on the fact that property near
his in the First ward had already been
reduced by the committee, To avoid
further encouragement of this kind the
committee had decided that no future
reports from the subcommittee shall
be made public until the work OF the
board is all done.
Yesterday the subcommittee were
at work in the Fourth and Seventh
wards. It was the day set apart for the
filing OF petitions from the sixth ward.
and a large number took advantage OF
it. There were also petitions received,
however, from every other ward.
Those given below are but a fraction
Of the number received. The Eighth
ward particularly has such a large
stack that it looks as if the committee
would simply have to go over the entire
work OF the assessors in that ward.
People have begun to get interested
in the returns as to their personal prop
crtv, and a large number called yester-
day to examine the books in this re-
spcct
