At to-night's session of the Council
| Committee on Accounts. City Clerk
| Thos. o. Brien will call the attention
of the members to the fact that there is
a falling off in the valuation of person
atty north Of the creek for purposes
of taxation. Assessor Bowers turned in
his books for the district south of the
creek last week, and his returns showed
a very gratifying increase in the valu-
alton of property, as was stated in the
Register. The gain over the previous
year appropriated $500, 600. 1t was
stated in that connection. that a pro-
p%ortionate increase might reasonably be
expected in the district north of the
creek.
The books of Assessor o. w. Heiskell
do not bear out this s%upposition, how
ever. On the contrary, instead of show
ing the increase which was expected,
they will show a falling off. the sum
amounting to between $500, 900 and
$500, 900. Inasmuch as an increase OF
several hundred thousand dollars was
anticipated in the assessment district
north of the creek, it may be said that
the size of the disappointment will be
a million dollars in round figures. The
result is ascertained, by adding the ex-
pected increase to the actual decrease.
For 1897 the valuation of property in
Wheeling for taxable purposes was
$23, 276, $50, which was increased in 1898
to $23, 1856, 062. The betterment of trade
and industrial conditions has undoubt-
eddy augmented the value of property
in this city, and this statement is borne
out by the gratifying condition of affairs
shown by the books of Assessor Bowers.
Unless some grievous error was made
in former years in the district north Of
the creek. it is apparent that the re-
turns made by Assessor Heiskell will
not be satisfactory to the Committee on
Accounts.
The only course which appears to be
open, is to order a reassessment in the
district north of the creek, or to en-
ploye an expert accountant with a
view to detecting possible clerical err
rors in the assessment books. Either
course will necessitate considerable
expense and delay, but will be justified
in view of the fact that existing CON
ditions warrant the belief that the as
SCISSORS books should show an increase
in the valuation of property, or
should at least not show a decrease.
If another assessment is ordered, it
will probably cause a postponement of
the meeting of the Board Of Equaliza-
ton and Appeals, which has been set
for July 31st. In fact, it appears that
in any event it will be impossible to
get the assessment books in shape for
a session of the Board upon that date.
The condition of affairs referred to
may also cause a delay in getting out
tax bills, etc.
1t is a nice problem for the Commit
tee on Accounts to wrestle with to-
night.

sentiment raised against his plans BY
persons seeking to maintain their stand
ing upon a purely artificial basis. But
even where Southern brains. Southern
energy and Southern money have won
success in many lines, they have FREE
quently been hampered by a lack OF
proper support on the part Of their
friends and neighbors. There has not
been enough enthusiasm, consequently
the very optimistic point of view OF
Governor Atkinson may be accepted as
an indication of a spread of a spirit
which must become more general if all
the possibilities of the South are to be

Representatives from the leading
sewer pipe firms in Eastern Ohio and
West Virginia held a meeting at the
Imperial Hotel Thursday afternoon to
consider a proposition from a pro-
moter named Flint, who is seeking to
combine the W pipe men by a pro-
position which they did not care to
make public. Enough was learned,
however, that the proposition was on a
basis vastly different from the recent
one advanced, which failed to unite
them. The proposition of Flint, who
represents New York capital, was re-
jected at the close of the meeting, and
the manufacturers will proceed to
organize along the old lines.

paint for the shabby manner in which
the club was treated at Bloomington
yesterday, Bill Kreig having no one
to feel grateful to for his victory but
Umpire Thomas Mcnamara, whose
partiality to the home players in his
decisions was so apparent that even
the spectators vented upon him their
shouts of derision.
The game was featureless except for
the brilliant work of Ball, Rock ISL
and's crack short stop, who, as the
tabulated score will show, had total
