FIXING A'FEE FOR APPRAISERS.
City Council is Trying to Solve nm
Annoying Problem.

City Council is Trying to Solve nm
Annoying
The question of the amount Of fees to be
paid appraisers is one of the matters that
is putting the gray matter Of the city faith
ers in a turmoil. They have been trying to
solve it for a considerable length of time,
but without avail. At the last meeting Of
the committee Of the whole the burden OF
discovering a solution was planted on the
shoulders Of the city attorney, who was
instructed to prepare an ordinance to make
the fee a fixed quantity. Apparently this
is an easy task, but in reality it is a tough
proposition.
~ don't see how the fee can be fixed !"
declares President Bingham of the council.
For example, suppose we are to change an
alley along which the property belongs to
one man. According to law we must ap-
poin three appraisers to assess the benefits
and damages. Then again, suppose We are
to grade a street twenty blocks long along
which there are hundreds of property own
ers. Again we must appoint three APP
praisers. The appraisers cannot be paid the
same fee, for one set has no work to do
and the other has a great amount OF work.
And If no fee is made, what sort Of a
workable sliding scale can be arranged to
meet all the conditions"
President Bingham and all the other coun-
cilmen, however, are unanimous that some
solution of the difficulty should be reached
as the city is all the while having trouble
over the pay of appraisers. The latter put
in a bill for services which the city fathers
are sure is exorbitant. Consequently there
is a continuous s~quabble and the city is
often compelled finally to pay an appraisers
bill which is too big.
The idea Of forming an ordinance to Ak
the fee arose in the brain of a councilman
who believed that in this way the apprais-
ers appointed, knowing exactly what their
compensation would be, could serve or not
as they pleased and would have no claim
Upon the city for additional pay.
