TAX REBATES
Erroneous Assessments

QUARANTINE FINALLY RAISED
SIXTH STREET IMPROVEMENT
PROTEST DENIED
Auditors Report Shows Better Con.
dition Of City Funds-No Ex-
tension for Taxpayers

Nearly the whole session of the fin =
ance committee of the council yester-
day was consumed in consideration of
the petitions for rebates of taxes on ac-
count of erroneous assessments. The
petitions have been piling up for several
weeks and the committee decided to
clear UP the entire lot at one meeting.
There were twenty-eight demands and
each was considered separately. No
two Of them were alike and each had to
be studied carefully, as it was the de-
sire OF the committee not to establish
any precedent. Most of them were for
excessive valuation in assessment. BY
this is not meant that the assessments
were excessive, but that mistakes had
been made which made it appear that
the persons complaining had been as
sessed for more than the proper valua-
ton. OF this kind of demands rebates
to the amount of $1757S were allowed
Those based upon the assessment of
improvements where improvements do
not exist amounted to $76.7S, and $31 80
represents the amount of taxes paid as
the result of erroneous assessment of
lands. AS q result of the action of the
committee, the total valuation was re-
duced $26, $685. that being the amount
which was errOneOuSly assessed

EMBARGO REMOVED
Health Officer Powers Raises Quaran.
tine Against the South


AS all danger of q spread of yellow
fever has passed in the part of the coun-
try near the Gulf of Mexico which has
been afflicted with that dread malady
for the past two months, the quarantine
that had been ordered against all freight
from fever infected points by the local
authorities has been raised. The board
of health at a meeting held on the 4th
instant discussed the matter Of raising
the embargo then, but it was decided to
leave the matter to the discretion Of
Health Officer Powers. The latter made
inquiries to ascertain the exact cond;-
ton of affairs in and about New Or
leans and learned that the disease was
entirely under control. There was not
the slightest danger of it's spreading,
and for the first time in the history OF
yellow fever epidemics the authorities
had successfully coped with it without
the intervention Of frost to kill the
germs.
Believing that there could be no pos
sible danger in raising the quarantine,
as all freight from infected points is
thoroughly fumigated before leaving the
gulf coast, Dr. Powers yesterday raised
it. He sent out notices to the railroad
companies and others interested, telling
them Of his action. Hereafter all freight
will be received from the points here
tofore under the ban and none of it will
be fumigated. The frosts in the ex-
posed portions of this state and the cool
nights would serve to make impossible
the existence of case of the fever in
this city,
