FIND 1T UPHILL WORK.
Assessor Seng,s Men Meet With
Some Difficulties.

The field men who are out listing the real
estate and improvements thereon for the as
SCISSOR find 1t difficult to secure the co-opera-
tion of the owners or agents in the listing Of
property in cases where one or the other
parties do not reside upon the property. In
every case an effort is made to secure the ad-
dress, and in many instances where they do,
they prefer to deny 1t lest the giving of the
information should prove to their own dis
advantage or that of their landlord. Owners
or agents not receiving one of these blanks
from the field man, by mail, will under
stand that the failure is due to the absence
or their addresses, so they should call at the
ONCE for one or send address, so it can be
mailed. The purpose Of this blank is to have
the owner furnish as much information as
possible, which will be compared with the
report made by the field man and will prove
great aid in arriving at just valuation Of
the property.

Its Friends Are Encouraged at It's
Progress.
Much to encourage the friends Of the new
library movement was brought out at meet
Ing of the executive committee of the St.
Paul Public Library association at the Com
mercial club yesterday afternoon. Besides
Chairman MacKean members were present
from every ward except two. They reported
that they had appointed representatives of
the association in nearly all precincts of the
city. The remaining precincts will be in
cluded next week. These precinct represen-
tatives are, in turn, forming precinct COM
mittees to further the work of the associa-
ton.
The executive committee agreed yesterday
upon form of petition that will be addressed
to the city council The petition will set forth
the desire of the association that the market
hall library be sold in order to procure new
library building. All precinct committeeman
are to be supplied with copies of this pc
tltlon. 1t Will thus be signed by such a null
tltude OF citizens as it is thought will ensure
favorable and early action on the part of the
council. Nor will the agents of the library
association relax their efforts to obtain from
each candidate at the coming city election a
substantial pledge that he will assist in
obtaining the desired building. There is lit
tie doubt that this pledge can be secured in
well nigh every instance. for the community,
1t is believed, is practically in accord with the
library association.

Board of Public Works Is In Favor
of 1t.

The board Of public works yesterday de-
c1ded to submit a favorable report recon-
mending final order for the paving of Sixth
street, from Sibley to Rosabel street, with
asphalt. The preliminary orders for paving
upper Sixth street, from College to Summit
avenue, and Third street, from Pleasant to
Summit avenue, were laid over until May
in order to give the property owners time to
decide upon the paving material.
In the afternoon the members Of the board
inspected the wooden pavements on Robert
Minnesota and Cedar streets. Preliminary or
ders for paving these streets with asphalt
were sent to the board last fall, and hearings
have already taken place. The board reported
adversely on the orders for paving Robert and
Minnesota streets, but the council sent the
orders back to the board. The majority Of
the property owners on these streets are op-
posed to repaving them this year. but if the
board finds that the present condition of the
wooden pavements warrant the improvements
1t will submit favorable reports on the pre-
liminary orders.

CHIPPEWA COUNTYzS JAIL.
Plans Are Disapproved by State
Secretary Hart.

Secretary H. H. Hart, of the state board of
charities and corrections, yesterday notified
the commissioners Of Chippewa county not
to proceed any further under the plans foI
the new county Jail at Glare City, which
they submitted to him for examination. The
plan calls for frame structure and is not
freproof, both being faults which come within
the law. At any rate, the plans must first
be approved by the state board, which has
as yet had no opportunity to act upon them.
The secretary has also advised against the
immediate erection of a new poor house in
Big Stone county, on account Of the small
number of paupers.
