Reductions Refused.
The board OF equalization closed its Ia
borS at O'Clock last evening, after three
weeks OF hard work, during which about
400 cases, including many subdivisions OF
each. were considered and adjusted.
The figures that tell OF the exact work
done in raising and lowering assessments
have not been obtained Yet by Deputy
Paul, but after the adjournment James,
elise, Miller and Niekerson estimated from
figures at hand that the increases would
amount TO s0.edo. a. against about $4,000
reductions.
The last official act of the board was TO
settle the question relative TO the tax on
Dexter Horton IL Co.'S bank. The bank
claimed that its real estate, which was re-
turned, as $4s- 90, exceeded its capital stock,
and therefore there could not be any as
sessment on the capital stock. James and
Miller took the ground that the bank
should pay on an assessment or sI5,g"
which represented the difference between
the capital stock and the value of the real
estate as returned TO the secretary OF
state. When the vote was taken elise.
Heaton. Nickerson and Gasch were
against James and Miller. so the bank won
the day. The decision Incidentally says
that the safe. about which there was SO
much talk. is real estate. Mr. elise, IN ex-
planning TO a Post-Intslligencer reporter
the returns by the bank TO the secretary
of state, said that in addition TO the sezI.e
realty there was seso.0dsD an loans and dis
counts on real estate. which two taken to-
gether make the sis7. 90.
Ex-sheriff William Cochran was before
the board in the afternoon with long Pc
tition for reduction on acreage property
and a few lots. He was vigorous in his
ry1f a
