EQUALIZATION AND APPEALS.
The Second Session of the Board Held Yes

terday Behind Closed Doors.
The second session of the Citv
Board of Equalization and Appeals was
held yesterday morning behind closed
doors, and those having business with
the body were compelled to knock be-
fore they could obtain admission. The
same officials were in attendance as
usual, and there was the same dearth
Of information as on Monday. Second
ward petitions were up for action, and
quite big bundle of papers were on
the table. In the afternoon the board
made personal examination of property.
as on the previous day.
AS to the North Side assessment, it
was learned that the necessary correc-
lions will probably be made under the
direction of the city collector and that
Mr.. Heiskell would be the person who
would do the work. In other words,
where it is apparent that there has
been failure to assess, from a COM
parison of the books, the collector will
call the assessors attention to the
omission and the assessor will attend
to the case In this way it is hoped to
bridge over the existing state of af-
fairs, but it will be some time before
the total of the assessment is known.
Yesterday evenings paper had the
following:
At one time this morning Chairman
]. c. Stroebel, of the committee, took
occasion to state that the story pub
lished by a morning paper to the effect
that yesterday he demanded the resig-
nation of Assessor Heiskell, was en-
tirely incorrect"
The Register said nothing of the sort.
What the Register said was this:
1T was stated on the authority of a
city official that Chairman Stroebel, of
the board, would ask for Assessor
Heiskell's resignation"
The difference between what was
said and what the evening paper said
will be noted. The city official making
the statement is ordinarily reliable, and
hence he was quoted.
