STORMY TIME EXPECTED.

The next meeting of the new city
council will probably not be a love
feast. 1t Is likely that n discord will
develop in the very beginning when
the moment arrives to approve the
minutes.
Both Captain c.. w. Fitchett and
Mr.. G. c. Mitchell claim to have re-
ceivcd enough votes 10 have elected
them TO the Offices of city engineer and
city attorney. respectively. and. 1t is
understood, the initiation of contest
on these two Offices will take the form
of an objection 10 the approval of the
minutes.
If each of these gentlemen receive
eight votes and their IS a full meeting
the natural supposition is that eight
men VIII vote to sustain the objection.
Possibly the entire council may vote
that way from a desire to see the mat
ter thoroughly investigated.

ed Elscwherc-Strcet Paving.

Hampton, Va. July 10.-The work of
aScertaining the taxable values in
realty in Hampton and Elizabeth coun-
~ has been completed by assessors
Tennis and Jones and their excellent
report shows an increase OF $S45,6162l
over that of 1899. The assessors were
very careful in placing the value on
property and it is generally believed
that this will prove the most satisfac-
tory assessment ever made in the
county.
The report shows that there are
2S.963 2-10 acres in tracts Of land, which
have a taxable value of $500. 7S4O5. On
these lands are buildings approximate
ing $27,17S.2G.
on lots located in Hampton, Phoebus
and the county there are buildings
which have n taxable value of Sl,l27, :
3l+. while the value Of these lots APP
proXimatc $l,2S2 i62. making a total of
$3.50, 1881 worth of taxable realty in
Hampton and the county.
In 1900 the assessment showed that
at that time there was 1891 .122 o
worth of taxable realty in the county,
and thus il will be seen that the in
crease this year amounts to sS45. GIG. u
more than that of the previous year.
