REVIEW BOARD DONE.
County Assessment EquaIizers
Complete Their La
bors.
NEW LAW WORKS SATISFACTORILY

Total in Rock Island VIII Remain About
the Same as Returned by Assessor j. X.
| Johnston, Although There Have Been
| Numerous Alterations in Valuations of
| Individual Holdings.
While there have been numerous
alterations in the individual assess
ments in the city of Rock Island, a
| member of the board of review, which
concluded its meeting last night,
stated it was his opinion the total
| would deviate very little from that
turned in by the local assessor, j. K.
Johnston. He said the increase on
personal property would be met with
corresponding decrease on lots and
lands.
The board, whose members are w.
Il. Carey, chairman of the county
board, County Clerk II. b. Hubbard,
Il. A. Smith and K. G. Clarke, the lat
ter as clerk. has been in session con-
tinuously since July 10. 1t is claimed
there was not single instance where
a property holder was summoned be-
fore the board to show cause why his
valuation should not be increased
that failed of a response and an adj
Indication that was satisfactory to all
concerned. Many not understanding
the meaning of the new law, the pur-
pose of which is to get as near as
possible to personal holdings, OBJ
jected, but when made acquainted
with the new requirements they
gracefully acquiesced.
Lands Raised and Lowered.
The board raised lands in Drury 10
per cent. also increasing the valuation
OF lands and lots in Port Byron 10 per
ton was made on Moline bank stock.
An abstract of the assessment as
equalized by the county board of review
viii be made and forwarded to the
state board.

WAVE OF GOODNESS COMES.

of Hail the Side.

Weather Clerk Throws in n Consignmen
of Hail on the Side.
An agreeable surprise, bordering on
sensation, was sprung on the COM
munity about 4:3O yesterday after
noon by the weather clerk. While he
had promised it would be cooler today,
people who have been for, weeks
watching the weather signals with
longing eyes of anticipation, only
snickered tired smoker and declared
it all a bluff-a bunch of jolly to bols-
ter up their hopes.
But the change came in small
shower, and as a side issue a consign-
ment of hail-something unusual for
this season-was thrown in.
1t was n case of hail fell-'o
well met. These icy pebbles did
not fall in all parts of the town, how
ever. and where they did strike terra
firma they disappeared almost as rap
idly as the chunk of GOODNESS the ice
man deposits at your front door on
a July morning.
Faces that were pictures of misery
for the past two weeks frightened up
today. and the old tune of is It warm
enough for you?" was sidetracked for
a smile and Isn't this lovely?"
The sons of rest and other organi-
on atmospherical conditions held meet
ings during the day and passed suita-
bic resolutions thanking the weather
progncsticator and asking him to con-
tinue his good work.

| Annual Tax Levy Made and Replacing OF
Pavement on Twentieth Between Second
and Fourth Estimsted-Hesds of De-
partments Must Attend Finance Com
mIttee Meetings.
There was a short session of the
city council last night to take up the
unfinished business left from last
Mondays regular meeting. Only
routine matters received attention.
The original plan was to pass on the
mayors appointees, who have been
serving since the inau guration of the
present administration without the
official sanction of the council, but a
postponement till the next meeting of
the council was agreed to just before
the mayor raped for order.
The following ordinance was passed
providin for the levy, assessment
and collection of taxes for the fiscal
year of 1899, as the same was equal
lied for the state and county taxes of
the year 1898: Library fund IS, S26.1I:
interest fund, $13.15O; fire depart
ment fund, $11, 500; light fund,
$14, 900; police fund, $1,000: salary

To Repair Twentieth.
The city is to replace the miserab BILE
job of paving on Twentieth street be-
tween Second and Fourth cvenues,
the contractors on which work,
could not be he d to their agreement
to make repairs in case the Improve
ment did come up to promises. 1t is
estimated the cost of replacing the
pavement will be 81, 993.5 80. The
street and alley committee has the
matter under consideration.
Plumbing Inspector Joseph Rosen-
fields collections of fees for the month
of August were $3.50.
Heads of departments were re-
quested to attend the meetings OF the
finance committee. Aid. COncannon,
chairman of the committee, who in
troduced the resolution, said bills
were frequently presented of which
the committee had no knowledge and
it would be well to have heads of de-
partments in attendance at the meet
ings to give any information the COM
mittee might desire.

City Clerk H. c. Schaffer has col
lected in water rents since May l,

close of the fiscal year at least $37,-
OOO. The total collections last year
were $2S. 600, showing wonderful
development in the profits of the
water department. There are now
$500 attachments, which will be
largely added to as soon as the city
feels able to make extensions that
people in all parts of town are clam
oring for. The Davis company has
made prOposition-one which the
majority of the aldermen think favor
bly, of-to build the extensions for 20
per cent cheaper than the city can do
the work and wait until next spring
for payment.
