Matters of Importance Are Taken Up
for Discussion.
Every township and town, except Council
Bluffs, was represented yesterday at the
annual meeting of the assessors OF Potta-
wattamie county held in the superior court
room at the country court house. The meet
ing was called to order at 2 p. m. by County
Auditor Innes, who briefly explained that
the purpose of the gathering was to enable
the assessors to get together and talk over
the manner of making the assessment, in
order that there might be an uniformity in
the county assessment. Paul Beezley of
Center township and G. A. Sample Of Oak
land acted as chairman and secretary re-
spectively of the meeting.
In order that there might be an uniform
iy in the assessment Of cattle throughout
the country the meeting appointed a com
mittee consisting of G. A. Sample OF oak
land, w. H. Kieef of Hardin, NJ. H. Parks
of Belknap, H. e. Fouts of Rockford and w.
H. Jackson of Knox to fix a price. The COM
mittee reported the following prices, which
were adopted: Heifers, 1-year-old, $40; 2
year-old, s2S; COWS, 1876; steers, 1-year-old,
s24; 2-year-old, $36; 3-year-old, s44; cattle
in feeding, Az cents per pound; bulls, $40;
swine, $685. per 100 pounds; sheep over six
months, $500.
T.. j.. Smith OF Boomer township wanted the
county divided into five districts and a
supervisor elected to represent each district.
His idea was that the assessors should Sc
cure the signatures of the taxpayers in their
townships or towns to a petition, asking
the legislature to amend the law so as to
make this possible. The meeting decided
that to take up such a matter would be
outside of their jurisdiction and Assessor
Smiths motion was promptly voted down.
The assessors in the townships brought up
the matter of their election and a petition
will be presented to the county supervisors,
asking that in future their names be printed
on the ballots, the same as other candl-
dates AS it has been heretofore outside OF
Incorporated towns, the voters have been
compelled to write in the name OF their
choice for assessor on the ballot.
The law provides that each assessor at
tending these annual meetings shall receive
80 per diem and 10 cents a mile travelling
EXPENSES. The meeting yesterday cost the
county an even s211, that being the amount
maid ont by Countp Auditor lines to the
assessors. The assessors in attendance were:
