Assessment Of Real Estate in Richmond.


Next year the real estate OF Richmond
Will be valued by assessors appoih ed for
the purpose for taxation, and though.
seemingly not a question imme Hate y
to be considered, 1t will not do any harm
to call attention to the manner in which
the best valuation can be obtained. The
real estate OF Richmond has neve; been
evenly and fairly assessed. for several
reasons.
FIRST, because the increase in values
has been very much more IN some sec
tiops than in other, notably the lar sc IN
crease in the West End, and notably
also. the decrease in values in the mid
die or older section OF the city The
assessment has not increased as tn land
has enhanced in the West End. noe has
the assessment been lowered as IL ought
where there has been falling IF OF
value. There has been a large increase
in what is known as the Eant End
this possibly almost entirely since the
last assessment.
one other reason why the assessments
are not fair and even is that the build
ings on the land are not carefully con-
sdered. IL is very plain that two build
ings-dwellings or stores, IL matters not
which present from front view about the
same appearance may be OF very dlU 2rent
value, for the one may be very unely
finished inside. while the other may be
commonly finished. Only u careful eX-
animation can determine the value OF
building. no mere outside glance can do
IL.
one OF the assessors ought TO he q
builder. who. IL necessary, should mes sure
the buildings and assess by such measure
ments: another Of the assessors ought to
be some one well acquainted with the
most recent sales OF land. improved and
unimproved. and the third ought g. be
one well informed as To the business IN
terests Of the city. IL We can once set a
fair valuation. even though IL takes
longer time than usual, local enhance
ments OF real estate could be easily as
certained, and the burden OF taxation
would be more fairly distributed. and our
people better satisfied.
This Is a question OF great Importance
to the Taxpayers Of Richmond. A lust
assessment may save us from an Increase
In rate. which Is threatened every row
and then in our daily papers.

grew obstreperous, and used language

him out OF the house, but az he was a.

A PANsY BOUDoIR.
A very pretty fad OF the day Is TO
choose some distinctive color. flower and
perfume, and have everything TO corre-
spond.
Mrs. Grosvenor Lowery has for long
time always worn yellow ard brown. and
her flower has been pansss, preferably
the yellow ones. Every gown she wears
Is OF different variety OF yellow and
brown, with hats and gloves to corre-
spond.
As for pansies. she has them every
where, and the prettiest room imaginable
Is her little boudoir. which she called her
pansy-room, and which she designed en-
tirely hersek.
The coloring OF the walls. is pale yell
low, with deep frieze Of pansies. On
the panels OF one door are the same
flowers. Several OF the pictures have the
passe-pertout covered by pansies. The
frames OF others have panses painted on
them. The white wooden fireplace has
pansies on the sides, and every conceivable
kind OF vase.or ornament he's 10 do with

A SIS TENNIS GOWN.

This is certainly the age OF realy-made
gowns, and there IS range Of prices as
varied as the incomes Of the population
OF the United States. Yachting and tennis
gowns have ! seen within the last few
days ranging in price from $24S TO sos.
The SOS one was a very smart creation
of dark blue Serge-the best kind of Eng
lish serge made with round skirt, draped
q little at the hips TO show an under petit
coat, and with smart little Zouave
Jacket, TO be worn over white silk
shirt fastened with pearl buttons, on
which were tiny blue anchors. The Jacket
on either side had three larger pearl but
tons, with gold anchors. and a jaunty
little yachting-cap had a gold anchor
In front.
The Sis suit only saw In a shop-wn-
dow, where 10 looked really very smart.
IL was of brown duck. with plain gored
skirt and a short. full Jacket, worn over
a red waistcoat As 20 its appearance
after a few weeks Of wear | should not
like to be responsible. The SOS one would
certainly last many years. But between
the two there Is great gulf fixed,
which. fortunately for the hundreds Of
women who have TO buy their own
clothes. is filled with plenty Of suits In
which they can look well by the outlay
Of not many dollars. ANfiELM.

fully 50 per cent of the same have been
made to residents Of this place. In this
connection much Is said about the repor.

Carmichael. IL Is reported that he repre-
sented many squatters as living
in tents, not having the means
of livelihood, and destitution as being
commonly prevalent. TO show hos ut
