MIDDLE LOT BASIS
IT WILL BE ADOPTED IN THE BUSI-
NESS DISTRICT ININIEDI-
ATELY
FROM ST. PETER TO SlBLEY
AND AS FAR Up AS EIGHTH, THE
ASSESSMENT CONFERENCE
RECOMMENDS.
suBCOMMlTTEE WILL AT ONCE
Make an Estimate of the Value OF
IL Lot on Each Side of Each
Block.

The most important step in the work
of making a new assessment of the
real property of the city for the pur-
pose of taxation was taken yesterday
by the joint committee, representing
the commercial bodies, labor organi-
cations, common council and county
commission. The committee met yes
terday afternoon at the chamber of
commerce, the following members be-
ing present: Chairman w. p. Murray;
H S. Fairchild, Claiming Seabury,
James Middleton, Thomas Cochran
John D. Ludden. Aid. Wolf County
Assessor Seng and his assistant, w. A.
Sumers, were also present.
The important step referred to was
set forth in a communication from
County Assessor Seng, in which he sug-
gested the adoption of the following
plan, namely, the appointment by the
joint committee of a special COM
mittee, whose duty it should be to as
certain the value of the lot on each
side of each block, midway between
the cross streets, within the central
business district, extending from Third
to Eighth street and from Sibley street
TO 81. Peter.
Mr., Seng further suggested that a
letter be sent to each member of the
committee, accompanied by a blue
print map of the district described,
with instructions that the member indi-
cate on the map his valuation per front
foot of each middle lot on the basis of
a depth of 100 feet. The middle lots
were selected in order to avoid the
confusion arising from a difference in
the valuations of corner lots. Mr. Seng
added that possibly other committees
might subsequently be selected to
make similar valuations in other dis
tricts.
Mr.. Seng's plan met with unanimous
favor and it was at once adopted, and
the following committee was appointed
to make the valuations of middle lots
in the central district named:
William Dawson, chairman; John G.
Richardson, H. S. Fairchild, James
Middleton, John j. Watson, Chester r..
Smith, Thomas Cochran Jr., o. B.
Lewis, Reuben Warner.
The committee was instructed to re-
port to the joint committee next Satur-
day afternoon at 4 o'clock to which
time the joint committee adjourned.
