Columbus, March 14.-The series of
10 bills, framed by State Audito.
Guilbert, or with his approval, and
introduced in the Senate by Mr. Shep-
pard, the special order of business
for Tuesday evening, gave senator
Wilhelm, Of Stark, an opportunity to
make a good speech. He opposed the
passage of the first bill Of the series,
upon which all the others hinge, upon
the ground that the quinquennial ap-
praisement OF real estate would prove
tremendously expensive to the several
counties of the State and would not
30 very much good after all. The
bill failed to receive constitutional
majority aud was therefore declared
defeated. The vote stood II to II and
q motion to reconsider was carried by
vote of IL TO IL. The bills were
made special order Of business for
next Tuesday, but 1t is highly improb.
able that they will he passed. The
argument in favor Of thcir passage is
based upon The constant fluctuGtlon
OF real estate.
