The Assessors of the county have
all made their returns excepting the
two of the Third and Fourth wards OF
the city, and they have so very much
to do that it is no wonder that they
are not yet in. A summary of the val
uation of the personal property of the
county so far as in shows gratifying
increase in most Of the townships and
wards. There are some of the wards
where there is shown a slight increase
but in which there have been several
changes, such as Incorporating comp
anies and the hike, that takes the
amount off the Assessors returns, but
comes in in another form. There Is
shown on the summary a net increase
of $l99, ,6S9 over the valuation of 1898
without the Third ward of the city be-
ing heard from and in that there will
be "a very large increase. 1t is likely
lat the total increase of the county
will be over $225, GOO.
