Wednesday the expert engineers engaged by

Colonel Mendell, chairman Of the board,

that Expert Koebig had an engagement at

Not Satisfied With Assessment

Over month ago the city council decided
to open an alley from Fourth to Fifth streets
between Broadway and Hill street The
majority of the property owners were agree
able to the proposition and a commission
was appointed to fix the assessments OF
benefits and damages incident to the open
ing. This commission filed its report, and
as usual a number OF dissatisfied property
owners complained against the confirmation
of the report After several attempts at
reconciliation, Councilmen Baker, Nickel
and Toll We're appointed special committee
to meet with the commission, and if pos
sible adjust the assessments so as to satisfy
all parties. Yesterday the committee held
a joint session with the commissioners. Os-
car Mueller, representing Nettie Mueller,
protestant, was present and protested
against her assessment of $1,000. Although
much time was consumed, little or nothing
new was developed. The committee will re.
port the result OF its investigation to the
council Monday.

superintendent's office, to-wit: Allowance
for street sweeping SIG, ,33l .25: for inspector,
$545.
The committee will also recommend to the
council that the city auditor be instructed to
transfer $4,000 from the cash fund to the
tax fund of ls9S-99, to replace the advance
made from the tax fund to the cash fund of
equal amount.
A representative of the city auditors
office appeared before the board and re-
quested its opinion as to the proper steps
to take to secure compensation for extra
services. He stated that during the month
of October part of the deputies in the tax
collectors office were compelled to work
two or more hours overtime every night,
and added that in his opinion it would he
only just that they be given extra pay. The
petitioner received little encouragement
from the board, although the members ac-
knowledged the justice of the demand.
G. NJ. Knowlton's request for rebate of
Sll25, by reason of erroneous assessment of
improvements upon lot 49, block IL, o. W.
Childs tract was approved and the coun-
Gil will be asked to grant the request.
Other rebates recommended are: That OF
Mary Hust for So 25 for erroneous payment
of taxes upon lot Is. block II, Wolfsllill Or
chard tract; Sinclair company's request for
$3.50 by reason of duplicate payment of
taxes upon personal property for the year

half acres of land on the west side of Yer

The board also approved of H. W Keller's

A Thieving Chinese

Judge Owens yesterday to answer to a
charge Of petty larceny. Ling was charged
with stealing 300 shakes, valued at 81, from
F. 0. Jean. 1t appears that the Chinese

the latter refused to deliver the door the
Chinese got mad and stole the shakes. Dur
ing the testimony it was brought out that
Jean had sold some lumber to the Chinese a

attempted to steal gate, but was caught

fast with in his possession. Sing was found
guilty and fined $50 or sixty days.

BOILER INSPECTORS ANNUAL
Work of the Year Covered in the Re
port Filed Yesterday

Boiler Inspector c. J. Dahl's annual re-
port for the year ending Nov. 30th was filed
with the city clerk yesterday. The in
spector states there are now 279 boilers in
operation in the city, 81 idle and 90 out of re-
pair. Two of those out OF repair were
burned through careessness, but not enough
to seriously injure them.
According to the report, the condition
of the boilers in the city is far superior to
what it was year ago. The engineers and
proprietors of boilers now almost universal
ly approve of the inspection of boilers, and
recognize the benefits that they derive from
it as well as the rest of the community. The
collection of fees in connection with the
office takes up considerable time that ought
to be given to inspection. If the same could
be made charge against a person the same
as taxes, and not requiring the arrest Of a
person as the only means Of collection, it
would make the inspection department much
more effective.
During the year Al elevator inspections
were made. Owing to the fact that some
parties are objecting and the same being still
pending in court, the inspector has been
unable to inspect elevators as required by
ordinance, except where owners desire such
inspections.

Mr.. Dahl, need inspecting, because in many
cases, they are given in charge of inexperi-
enced persons. who. while they are perfectly
willing have not had sufficient mechanical
training to properly care for so important a
piece of machinery as an elevator
The total receipts Of the office were
Sl9OO50. OF this amount $40 was received
for engineers licenses, sl442.5O for boiler
certificates, S43 on elevator permits and five
mangles.
Regarding inspections, Mr.. Dahl states he
