IN STAR CHAMBER SESSION
How Members of Council Stood on Gas
Company Assessment.
zlM@AN AND sURKLEY FOR A MILLION
TrOstIer Could See No Reason for
Raising Figure of Board of Re-
view-OutcOme the Result
of Compromise.

IF the city council had held an open
session 10 consider the assessment Of the
gas companyis property" said a member
OF that body yesterday. Il feel confident
that the result would have been different
When we entered the conference room
there was a wide divergence Of opinion
between the members OF the body.
Burnley and Zimman stood for an assess
ment OF $1,000, 900. Lobeck and Hoye
fixed the assessed valuation at $500, 600.
Trostler wanted TO make no change, al
leging that the showing made at the hear
ing gave no reason TO change the result
reached by the Board OF Review at its first
session. Hascall wanted an assessment Of
about $3.50. OO0, this being a raise in the
same proportion as that accepted by the
telephone and electric light companies.
Whitehorn's figures were between 500, 900
and $500 900. nearer the ultimate result
than those Of any other councilmen. Karr
and Mount seemed TO favor an assess
ment at figures between those submitted by
Hsscall and whitehorn.
There was quite an active debate on
the question for q while. Whitehorn
seemed to favor a higher assessment rather
than a lower one, and the result announced
was q compromise, which finally received
a unanimous vote. The members who
stood for a higher assessment than that
returned were fearfuuy handicapped by
the compromise which the tax committee
Of the Real Estate exchange had agreed TO
in the telephone and electric light cases.
At every point they were confronted with
the statement that a compromise would be
satisfactory 10 the compliments and their
course in the compromises effected was
cited 10 prove the contention Of the men
who wanted 10 make the assessment as
light as possible"

figures we're arrived at after a long.
tedious hearing. lasting more than a week.
during which futile attempts were made
by the eom~plAinHnts to get information as
TO the valuation Of the plant: the water
company figures were the result Of q com
promise between the tax committee OF the

prise 10 a majority Of the council.

turned TO the council chamber and an
nounoed that all members had united upon

state printing, $4,000 - IN all,
$50. 600. The appropriation IN
iS65-lS6S, Il will be remembered,
was $4,000. But this j. not all,
for In section "a Of this same act is
an appropriation Of $1,000. In Sec
ton 40 Is an aspiration Of $1,000 for
printing and publishing. In sec
ton a., sasoo In section a. Is
another indefinite appropriation for
printing. In section IS is another
appropriation Of $4,000, a part Of
which is for printing. In section
a6, $4,000 is appropriated for print
ing. Section AZ carries another APP
propriation Of $as,ooo, a part OF
which is for printing, no specific
sum being mentioned. Section 81
carries an appropriation Of srl. 600,
a part Of which is for printing, while
section 90 carries a direct appropri,
alton OF $4,000 for printing. Now
turn to the deiei, appropriation for
the same years and il will be found
that $Io,s44 are appropriated as
deficiencies for printing. Here ],
will be seen is a total Of SIsi,24l
for public printing, without cousid-
ering the paragraphs Of the bill in
which lump sums are appropriated,
a part being for printing.
Let it be remembered that in the
years IS67-IS6s only $4,000 was
appropriated for every item of pub.
lie printing in the general appropri.
alton bill, while S4sio was nppro-
priated in the deficiency bill for
1860.
Thus it will be seen that, instead
of the statement Of the Gazette be-
ing true exactly, the evers are the
facts.
