Yesterday the full committee OF
Council on equalization and appeals
spent the day in the Fourth ward. The
committee divided itself into two sec
tons Of four each and went over the
property in dispute there. The day
before was fully occupied by the Fourth
ward subcommittee in examining three
pieces Of property, as to all OF which
they refused to change the assessors
figures. Yesterday several Fourth ward
petitioners withdrew their appeals,
fearing an increase instead of a roduc-
ton.
Up to last evening tw%enty-one Fourth
ward petitions had been considered,

fixed by the assessors were raised, IN
three only were they reduced, whileslx
