Of all these reports our sale on last We'd

OF all the wheels sold land we sold a

as any of the high priced wheels.
We will begin another sale on Friday

ticularly fine. In these the work of Mr.
Ruwe, on the parallel bars, was probably
the best. The standing broad jump of Mr.
King, 9 feet 10 inches. and of Mr.. Thomas,
who followed, with 8 feet inches, was
very good.
The four young men standing highest
in the score made last night are Messrs.

Lynes. $780, and w. B. Holt, $50.
Medals will be given at the close of the

embrace all lines of gymnasium work
The game of indoor base ball tonight

and the Young Mems Hebrew Association
will draw a large crowd. The players on
both sides are drawn from the best ma

TAX ASSESSORS AT WORK.
VIII BE No Re-assessment of Real
Estate Unless Ordered by Council.

Estate Unless Ordered by Council.
The city board OF tax assessors and re-
ceivers Is getting its books in shape for
next years work and looking for stray
pieces Of property which have escaped
taxation heretofore.
There will be no general reassessment
of real estate by the board for next years
tax returns, unless the city council re-
quests it," said Maj. Schwarz OF the board
Of assessors to a Morning News reporter
yesterday.
Property owners who have been losing
sleep for fear Of being compelled to in
crease their tax returns by a reassess-
ment OF real estate, may rest easy. Maj.
Schwarz did not seem TO apprehend any
instructions to this effect. Property own
ers, who desire to renovate and improve
the appearance Of their property, need
not withhold the paint brush for fear
Of the tax assessors.
Il wish you would state" said Mai.
SchwarZ, that the board does not propose
10 raise the assessments upon property
because Of such improvements as paint
ing and renovation. both interior and ex-
terror We do not wish to discourage
improvements, which tend to enhance the
appearance OF houses. Only substantial
improvements. which add TO the value Of
property Will be considered by the asses
sors."
Mai Schwarzs announcement will he
cheering news to many, as many property
owners have doubtless refralned from
making any improvement to houses at
present for fear that their property might
appear more valuable in the eyes of The
assessors. The result will probably be to
give work to many painters and carpeh-
ters between now and Christmas.
