than ordinary Importance came up for con-
sideration. Uncle John Bryson present.
ed a demand for the reduction of assess
ment on the Bryson block, corner of Spring
and Second streets, from $4,000 to S106, 600.
Mr.. Bryson thinks the assessors figures
altogether too high, as 1t is, he claims,
considerably above the valuation placed on
the other three corners at the same inter-
section, namely: The Burdick Wilcox and
Hollenbeck corners. The matter, was TAX
en- under advisement.
An item of S21 900 assessed to the East
Side Bank on bonds was Cancelled, as it was
shown that the bonds were secured by
trust deed and are not legally assessable.
Mrs L. j. H. Hastings, wife Of the noto-
rious medical electrician, formerly Mrs.
Hammond, applied for a reduction of $685.
900 on her Spring street block, because of
q mortgage for that amount held by the re-
gents of the University of California. De-
csion on the matter awaits an opinion from

Last week two freight trains were wrecked

destroyed, and yesterday morning the west

this morning was thrown In the ditch about
twenty miles east of Winslow. Owing to
the system of regarding the public from

into not being willing to give out any in

Though Mr.. Nevin had list of the thirty

it was asked If this could be counted upon,
regardless of the anxiety of friends of
