ITEMS FROM
new CASTLE,
June 18th. 1900 .

The assessment of the propert,
in the city Of New Castle will re
main the same as last year. City
Council so decided last night afiel
having a royal wrangle. Joseph
II. Dougherty addressed the meet
ing and showed his displeasure at
Council for not taking favorable
action on the assessment. He said
in part: There is no use of having
an assessor and paving him ST.
Tor copying your assessment from
an old book as has been done time
and again. ! have made an assess
ment that l considerfair and right
In cases where l believed 1t proper
and just 1raised or lowered the
rate. / consider it only fair to the
tax payers to pay simply for copy
ing the old assessment and thus
save money. l have found many
discrepancies in assessing proper
ties. The Holschumaker property
in Shawtown or Ninth and CLAYTON
streets, rents at So per month while
assessed at the rental value OF Sc
per month. lowered these houses
to rental value of ST. so or ST. so
each assessed value and you think
this is wrong while the houses Of
James B. Toman on the easterly
side Of Ninth street is paving on n
assessment of 500 each. When it
comes to the value of property
think can say | understand some
thing about it.
At this point Mr.. Gallagher
stated that if the rental value of
houses in this city were all to be
considered at the present time all
assessments should be lowered.
1--WE cannot stand it at the pres
ent time.
"Mr. Dougherty, you should use
the money more judiciouslv."
Then began an argument over
the respective merits Of the present
Council and the one of which Mr..
Dougherty was at one time mem.
Der.
A lengthy discussion over what
the times were and what they now
are followed.
President Schuhardt-If we cut
down the assessment we must raise
the taxes and that would be unfair
as the average person is paying all
that he can stand.
Gallagher-If you cut down one,
cut all. Make the thing universal,
one person has as much a right as
another. If you mean to assess at
the rental value treat all alike.
Mr.. Dougherty stated that the
difference between the assessment
of this year and last would amount
to less than 800.
A violent kick was made in re-
lation to lowering Etchell's prop
erty 5000 and Mr.. Gallagher said:
1--WE shall be overrun with people
trying to claim that they are re.
ceiving no rent at all and would
respectfully ask to have their bill
of taxes cancelled.
Messrs. Denny Smith, Andrew
M. Gallagher and DR.. William Ii.
kuntz of the Board Of Health, have
been most active tor several days
past and have been doing excellent
work where it has been needed and
last evening many expressions of
praise for their work were heard.
A sewer in the houses on Water
street which adjoins Bouldens
