laHendrick Hudson the. discover OF Co
llumbus. Her gorgeous costumes bring
out the beauty Of the winsome LITTLE

/ |joyabls social Wednesday evening after

chief OF the fire department, and when it
opened he was called upon to make few
remarks to the member and visitors.
Mr.. Stetson was received with immense
Applause when he arose to speak. BE
made q semi humorous address, in which
hs declared himself with reference to GER
tain appointments. Whatever else hap
pened, he declared that John Dorner
should have the coffee wagon and George
Richie should be veterinary surgeon of
the department. Other places he did
not promise. The program Of the even
ing included songs by the Masonic and
Temple quartets combined, solos by A H.

! The newly elected board of county
commissioners met Monday. Mr.. Con-
roy was reelected to the craftsmanship.
The first business to come before the
board was the reduction of taxes in
Crystal Lake. Judge Young presented
the matter, asking for a resolution re-
questing the state auditor to consider
the assessment It was ultimately agreed
to defer action until the next meeting OF
the board, Jan. 81. In discussing the
resolution it was shown that parts OF
Crystal Lake were assessed originally at
$1O4 an acre, while adjoining property
IN Brooklyn was assessed at $48. When
the state board met Cyrstal Lake was
raised IS per cent and Brooklyn rs per
cent, making adjoining parts of the same
farm lying in the two townships assessed
at $ls2 and $50 respectively. The en-
tire board concurred in thinking that a
manifest injustice had been done. Com
missioner Mash thought that the only
proper thing to do was to have county
assessor who should devote bis whole
time to the work. Commissioner Barn
ard suggested convention OF assessors
also. In the regular course of business
the county auditor was authorized to
! advertise for bids for the county print
ing for 1895.

[receipts for the year from the different
sources were 58,778.24, a falling off of
$8,85554 since last year. The balance
on hard with which the board enters
the new year is $8,15l.78, which will be
sufficient till levy of 1895 is available Or
