Realized Seriousness Of S


Everybody present realized the Sc
robustness of the situation, and after
an interchange of opinions it was de.
cided that the best way OF getting
at public opinion would be to call
a conference of the business men Of
the city, to which, among others, the
presidents of the Produce Exchange,
the Coal Exchange and of all the rail-
ways would be invited 1t was also
hoped that Secretary Easley and
other representatives of the Civic
Federation might be present.
During the day Governor Crane had
a long talk with the committee of the
Allied Transportation council having
the strike il. charge, but at its con-
elusion he announced that he could
see no way at present of solving the
problem. Later he sent for Mayor
Collins, and the two executives were
in conference for some time. little
later the mayor made statement
that he had no power to act He

TALLAHASSEE,S FUTURE.

The year 1902 has been a memorable
one IN Tallahassee. 1t has witnessed
many Improvements, and the Capital
City has taken on new lease of life.
In laborinS people have had plenty of
work, consequently they have, for the
most part, been cOntented, prosperous
and happy.
Business in all branches has been
good; in fact, better than many antici-
pated. The merchants all express sat-
SlactlOn at the volume of trade trans
acted. Mr.. w. K. Wilson, one of our
reading merchants, stated to The Tai
iahasseean man, that the years bust
ness showed very gratifying results,
and the outlook for 1902 was exceed
ingly bright.
This shows that the people generally
nave confidence in the future Of Talla-
naSsee. The city is on a move that Is
decidedly onward and upward. There
is no boom, simply a wholesome growth
mat is bound to enhance real estate
values, and bring new settlers here.
An era of prosperity is dawning on the
capital City. This has been some time
coming, but it is in sight at last, and il
tne people will do their part the next
zen years will witness a growth unpar-
aleled in the history of the place.
We are getting out of the ruts of old

the Everglades have. already been
drained, and the land left has proved
most excellent for sugar-grOWing. The
immense scale upon which it is pros

conceived some years ago, and recently
the company was formed to do the
work. Messrs. Fitchenberg and B Me-

Mr.. Louis E. Cohen, who won the
Tallahasseean contest for the most
popular person in the Capital City, is
an exception among men, Although a
bartender, he is strictly temperate,
and does not indulge in strong drink
of any kind. Indeed, so thoroughly
does he detest drunkenness that he will
not sell a drink to anybody under the
influence of liquor. His adherence for
a drunkard is as great as the most
rabid temperance advocate in the land.
Mr.. Cohen's popularity is general.
He is strong in his friendship, and
numbers his friends by Ills acquaint
ances. No man in distress ever calls
on him in vain, and his jovial DISPOSE
ton makes everybody like him.

LETTER TO TAX COMPILERS
Pointing Out the Law and Insisting
On its Enforcement.

Tallahassee, Fla, Dec. II, 1901.
Numerous and serious complaints are
received from nearly every portion of
the State that much property liable to
taxation escapes assessment and also
that valuations in many cases are too
low. The following provisions of the
revenue law, Chapter 1922, approved
June 1st, 1895, relating to assessments
and valuations are mandatory
Section 19.-EVery Assessor shall
require any person giving in the amount
or list of his personal property to make
oath before him that the same is full
and correct, and any person refusing to
take such oath shall not be permitted
afterwards to reduce the valuation
made by such Assessor of his personal
property for that year. The valuation
of any item of property by the taxpayer
shall in no case prevent the Assessor
from determining its true value,
and if he shall ascertain that the valu-
alton of any item of property is too
small, he shall increase the same to it's
true value. If any taxpayer feels ag-
grieved at the valuation placed upon
any item of property by the Tax As
SCISSOR. he shall complain to the County
Commissioners at their meeting in Au-
gust, that the valuation may be prop
erly adjusted.
Section 20.-AH personal estate liable
to taxation, the value of which shall
not have been specified under oath as
aforesaid, shall be estimated by the As
SessGr at its true cash value according
to his best judgment and information,
and his failure by neglect or refusal to
make such estimate shall be cause of
suspension by the governor.
section 22.-The Assessor shall as
certain by personal inspection, when
not already sufficiently acquainted
Herewith, the value of the lands and
assess them at their full cash value.
