EXCEEDINGLY DOUBTFUL.
Are We a Second or Third Glass County il
the Question.

When the board Of commissioners
had adjourned Monday night it was
stated that by their striking from the
assessment list foreign mortgages Fer
gus county had dropped from the Sec
ond to the third class.
But taking the official figures and
also taking into consideration the
action OF the state board of equaliza-
ton the total assessment is brought
to S3,97s,645 or S21 1856 below what
is necessary to continue this county
in the second class.
The board had written Attorney
General Haskell inquiring as to their
authority to cancel mortgages as
sessed to non-residents, but having
received no reply t~elegraphed him and
late Monday afternoon received the
following!
HELENA, August IL, 1884.
W. II. NELLY, Lewistown: Chattel mort
cages assessable by the board under section
60. All assessments OF mortgages to non-
residents should be cancelled by the board
as such property is not in the county.
hence not taxable.
H. J. HASKELL, Atty Gen,
Pursuant to that advice the, or
dered the clerk to strike from the list
mortgages ~aggregating Ss41, 7sO and
to add to the list chattel mortgages
amounting to S5S,s2l. The state
board of equalization had already
ordered an increase in the assessment
of cattle of 12 per cent, and Tuesday
morning after the several commits
sioners had departed for their homes,
notification reached Clerk Kelly that
they would probably raise the assess
ment on land other than town or city
lots 40 per cent or Sl96, 74S. This
last raise by the state board was ex-
pected, as land in Fergus county was
assessed much lower this year than in
other parts OF the state.
These cancellations and raises al
tered the figures greatly as will be
seen.
The sworn returns OF the assessor
make the total assessment $4,472,.
27S Adding thereto the IL per cent
raise on cattle and 40 per cent raise
on land made by the state board,
which amounts to Sos, $40 orcattle
and SI96, 74S for land, increases the
total to S4,717,65G. Also addingtht
1891 increase by the assessment o
chattel mortgages further increases
the total to S4,s3l,477. Deductin.

HIS LETTER TO THE MAYOR.
He Lays the Case Before the
Grand Jury.
THERE MAY BE AN INJUNCTION.
Mayor Ellert Says Delay Is Desired
to Secure Another Commission
Next Year.
THERE MAY BE AN INJUNCTION

There Is liable to be lot of trouble over
the proposed City Hall dome, designed by
Architect Shea. and for the construction
of which bids were opened on last Mon
day. 1t is evident that desperate at
tempt will be made to prevent its erection,
on the ground that the City Hall Commits
sioners have no power to construct it. This
much is evident. from the following letter
received by Mayor Ellert from Architect
Laver yesterday:
SAN FRANCISCO Jan 81, 1894.
To the Honorable the Board Of City Hall
Observation-Disclosures l beg leave to
object. and do hereby protest against your con-
tracting for the proposed dome OF the new City
Hall; also for the boilers, etc., IN aud around
the boller-house. The construction of the for
mer. as specified, appears TO me contrary to
the statute under which you are supposed to
be guided In your work, and have notified the
Grand Jury of the action l now take. Yours.
etc. AUGUSTUS LAYER
Laver was the original designer of the
hall. and desires to have the structure
crowned by the erection of what is known
as the Laver tow er, which he designed himself
Any other tower with him Is out OF the ques-
tiOn.
The law to which he refers is the one which
requires that the commissioners shall conform
to the original designs. Commissioner Creswell
for long while held out for the Laver tower,
and said the commissioners could legally con-
over the records and pointed out to Cres-
we'll that the Laver tower was not a part OF the
original plans accepted by the first commission,
but was passed at later te. On This
showing Creswell stood in for the Shea dome
Mayor Ellert was asked about the letter yes
terday, and he said: This Is simply an att empt
TO obstruct matters. 1t is nonsense TO say we
have not followed the law. Even If we had not
thrre are a thousand instances where the
plans were changed from the original design.
There is deeper Significance to this than APP
pears on the surface. L never met Laver and
don't know him, but know that an attempt is
being made to have another commission, and
another tax levy. This Is unnecessary. We
can complete the dome in cur term, which
means the practical completion of the building
We can then turn 1t over TO the Board Of Super
yisors, and no further commissions will be
necessary. There has been lakes enough laid
on the people for the last quarter of a century,
and it Is time the building was finished. The
commission is well advised as to Its position
and will maintain its rights. The whole fight
is only to delay"
Ii was subsequently learned that in all prob
ability, when the commissioners consider the
bids on next Saturday with view of awarding
contracts. they will be served with an iujunc-
tion prohibiting them from aiding any con-
tracts for the dome until the legal point raised
Is settled In The courts.
