ASSESSMENT
AFTERMATH
City's Wealth as Shown by the Asses
sor's Report.
Property Listed for Taxation
New Assessment Law Increases Valuation
OF All Property from S59I.42I to
Si,475.867. Bis Advance In Value
of Visible Possessions. The
Schedule

From 591 421 in 1900 to nearly 81
100000 in 1901 is big jump in as
sessment of Lancaster's real estate
and personal property But that is
what the books of City Assessor f. +.
Mccoy indicate. 1t should be un-
derstcod, however, that this does not
mean that the material growth OF the
city has made this astounding adj
vance, 1t is all due to the new rule
issued by the tax commission that all
property must be assessed at its full
fair value. Heretofore it has been
the custom of assessors to list prop
erty at between 80 and so per cent.
This year Mr.. Mccoy labored consci-
entiously in an endeavor to set down
opposite the name of each property
owner in the city Of Lancaster fig-
IRE that represents as nearly as he
could ascertain what each is truly
and visibly possessor OF.
Very few complaints were regis
tered as a result of the raise in assess
ment here in Lancaster, but in some
OF the rural districts it is reported
that big kicks were made and all the
assessors have as yet not completed
their task, In case the assessor does
not comply with this new law he is
liable to prosecution and a reassess-
ment is ordered.
Real estate in Lancaster that has
heretofore been listed at 81 300 and
$4,000 now is placed at 5000 and
$4,000 and the figures are really
startling The total OF personal
property this year is S344, 972; last
year it was $146.770, showing a gain
Of sl9s,202 The increase in real
estate is correspondingly higher, last
year the total being $444, 651; this
year S1130, 500; an increase of $685.
PA
The total valuation last year Of all
property was placed at 1891, 42l; this
year it is Sl,475,S6 an increase of
$SS4446

The contest on Thursday was Of so
exciting a nature that the old-time
baseball enthusiasts desired a little
more OF it. As a result another game
was dished up Friday with the same
players throughout The outcome
was gratifying in the fact that Ian
caster won, but lacked in sensational
PLAYS and was more replete with
errors.

Being reporter on newspaper
like this may seem to the uniformed
as pleasant as a large slice of home.

coat of sorghum molasses, but it is
not so. When | was boy and had
dreams OF the time when | should be
a man, as all boys do, my bosom

A newspaper reporter is, above all
other classes Of men heartily disliked
and even dreaded, especially so when
he tells the truth, which he always
does. He is sent out to ascertain the
facts in certain case, and when he
asks the one most interested for the
desired information. he is generally
told that there is nothing for publica-
ton in the matter. 1.-THE reporter drops
the story and fails to make mention
OF it at ALL then the one who refused
him the information goes to the edi-
tor and raises row because the item
was not in the paper. If the reporter
does publish the story, he will deny
every statement and swear that not a
word OF truth can be found in the
story To be a successful reporter.
therefore, one must be able to write
to please alike friend and foe. saint
and sinner, liberal and fanatic, rich
and poor. He must write what every
body wants, no matter how much men
may differ.
The crank who cannot please him
self must be toadied to by the re-
porter; the man who refuses to give
the news must be mentioned in such
a way as to reflect great credit upon
him, and the men who fight the up
building of the town because they
have things coming their own way,
must be placed in print as the head
aud shoulders OF enterprise; the hypo-
critic who uses prayers simply for an
antidote for every exposure must be
classed as one of the elect, and the
politician whose soul Is as black as
the lurid wings of a bat of perdition
must be called a statesman who loves
his country; when a poor man goes
wrong, his crime is displayed with a
double head. but when some rich ras-
cal violates the law, the reporter who
wishes to hold his job must use the
whitewash brush for fear Of offending
some leader in society.
Yes. once thought with the world
that the life of a reporter was velvet
cushion stuffed with the downy ex-
celsion of peace, but since l have
grown older can see where the ms
take of once promising life was
