seats at the Board table for many
years, and of the members of the
Board who served last year, but three
remain The Board is equally divided
on the line of politics, there being
eight Democrats and eight Republican
members. OF the old members there
are c. A. Dewey, of the First ward, F.
w. Becker, of the Third ward, and

partial treatment.

ent of assessments and they will un-
dOubted1v make some changes in the
