DOUBLE ASSESSMENTS.
THE CITY CLERK GETS IN SOME
GOOD WORK.
The Now Rules Adopted to Regulate
tho Matter of Double Assess-
ments They Will
Save Money.

On September 25th City Clerk Lucken-
back presented report to the council
stating that the stamping OF the notices
of tax sales upon the receipts for the
current fiscal year was bringing to his
attention number of tax deeds which
had been issued upon double assess-
ments and asking the council to estab-
lish rule, providing that where deed
had been issued upon a double assess-
ment, that upon the filing of a quit
claim deed to the actual owner of the
property with the council, they would
return to the tax purchaser the actual
amount OF money received by the city
therefor.
This report was referred to the city
attorney and at session OF the city
council Monday that officer reported
that he saw no legal objections to the
adoption of such rule. Thereupon
the recommendation of the clerk in this
matter were adopted.
In the past the council has refused to
grant any return to tax purchaser up
on sale upon which he has received
deed, upon the ground that the pur-
chaser bought with his eyes open, and
II he bought double assessment and
received deed. it would be his loss and
not the city's.
This course. however, worked as &C.
rious detriment to the property owner,
as it threw the burden of such double
assessment upon him and made it neces-
sary for him to negotiate for clearing
the same with the tax purchaser.
Thisiaction OF the council will have
the effect of placing the title OF the
property owner in precisely the came
conditionlthat it would have been had
there been no double assessment.
1t istinderstood that should the tax
purchaser refuse to deliver quis.clam
deed In return for the money which the
city has actually received. that the coun-
Gil will taks positive measures which lie
at their command to compel the giving
of such deed.

strikingly handsome. Mckee Rankin
displayed 80 much interest in her adj
vancement in the company and paid her
90 much attention that gossip's tongue
began to wag. Miechievous things were
said and denied.
Theater-goers sympathized with Mrs.
Rankin, and they ceased attending the
plays. So that the engagement at the
California became unpopular, and had
to be given up.
Mrs. Rankin went east. Rankin him
self organized company with Mabel
Bertns the leading lady, and presented
several plays in this state. But he
found that his popularity had vanished,
and he drew very small houses. Then
he too went east but met with indiffer-
ent succeea.
About year ago he came out at the
head of company which included the
Bert woman and his daughter Phyllis.
They played at the Bush-street theater
to very poor business.
During all the time that the couple
were separated efforts were being made
by friends to effect reconciliation. but
Rankin declined to give up Miss Bert.
1t was commonly rumored at the time
OF the filing of the papers in the divorce
cas- that he was going to marry her.
The two daughters, both grown up,
one of them married to Sidney Drew,
were of course anxious to see their
parents recenciled, and that the couple
have come together, after separation
of FIVE or six years is chiefly owing to
their efforts.
Since her last appearance in this CITY
Mrs. Rankin has grown somewhat
stouter. She complained of sore
throat last night, contracted on the
journey, and retired Immediately to her
room.
