OF the club. and negotiations are pend
ing whereby the Hunt Clubhouse may
be used by these two clubs as country

The Reassessment of Taxes.

The assessors of city property have
pushed their work with much vigor. Tney
have already finished the reassessment
in Marshall, jefferson, Jackson, and a
part of Madison wards, and are extend
ing their labors toward the West End as
speedily as possible. Up TO the present
it is impractlcable to form any sort OF an
impression as to what the actual result
of the reassessment will show. In some
cases the assessors have FOUND IL neces'
sary 10 lower the values on properly,
while I'm others they have made slight
increases. 1t is expected. however, that
values will be raised I'm some sections of
the West End. and that much new pro-
perty will be assessed. but ii is not
thought that there will be any large In
crease in taxable values of the city.
