River Front improvements Have to
Pay a Realty Tax.
The publication of the return of taxes
from Ramsey county and the showing
made under item % attracted some at
tention from people who interested
themselves. Item % covers the assess
ment Of persons who own improve
ments on public lands. The item show
ed an assessed valuation of such i'm
provements at upwards of thirty thou
sand dollars. 1t was clear that there
were no longer homesteads in this
county having any, such amount of i'm
provements. Assessor Seng yesterday
explained the item.
1--WE make the return in that form
for the assessment Of people occupy
ing land under federal control just as
though they were on homesteads.
There are no hoanesteads, in that sense,
in the county. The assessed persons
are the occupants Of the property held
by the government along the water
front. There is quite a good deal Of
this ground that has been made by
the lowering Of the river. The Pabst
warehouse, the Diamond 10 freight
sheds and other buildings along the
levy are Of this class, and on the other
side of the river there are some i'm
portant enterprises located on these
government lands, the Horne and
DAM concern, for instance, and the
Gedney Picking works. The occupants
pay some sort of nominal rental to the
government and we assess them for
their improvements.

shown by the Irish people in the out

marks in which he stated that the sue
