NEW YORK. Feb. S.
The Hall of

production at the
New York Theatre,
is a pictorial review
by Sydney Resented
and George V. Ho-
bart. II is elabOr-
ately staged, and
something like 300
men and women are
employed in the
performance. Incl
dents and charac-
ters from all the
current successes
are woven into the
plot, giving an op-
pOrtunity to the
members Of the
company to display
their abilities. The
story deals with a
man who has failed
as an actor and
whose ambition is
to occupy a niche in
the Hall of Fame.

vision and spurs
him on to gain the
goal-but he must

sessed at $Sl. 200. Agald the 'sky.
scrapers' came along and raise
the assessment 10 $l8l.000. The
Board of Assessment aud Revision
reduced this TO $l42, 200.
Referring to the East Lake prop
erty, Mr.Baynard said it was from
eight to ten feet below grade, and
the only way to get to it would be
to build a few houses and then re-
quest the city to bring the street
there to grade.
As far as the assessment is con.
cerned, said Mr.. Reed, the commit
tee did not consider it would be
fair for them to criticise. 1t is
only in glaring instances that we
felt like criticising, where the in
equality stood out so boldly. I
want to say that this city needs a
new assessment. / think it would
be money well spent to engage
men to make new assessment,
but not men like council appointed.
President Lawton referred to
the assessment OH the Pullman
Palace works, and Mr.. Pickles
said it had been increased from
$4,000 to $3.50, 600.
Mr.. Rossell again read his res
olution which, in the modified
form, was adopted as follows:
Whereas, 1t appears from the
report of the special committee on
city assessment for 1902 that the
assessment OF city property fixed
by the Board of Assessment, Re-
vision and Appeal was made lary-
ely upon information furnished by
special assessors, who are not

city; that the valuations OF city
propery are in many and conspi-
cuous instance unequal and largely
in excess of the true cash value of
the properties so assessed there
fore be it.
Resolved, That this board con-
demns the assessment made as
aforesaid, and recommends to all
property owners who may feel ag-
grieyed that they appeal from said
assessment.
Mr.. Carpenter here made Il mo-
ton to adjourn, but Withdrew it
until Mr.. Rosscl could offer the
Neutrality-suspicious., which will be
discussed and acted on at the next !
OF the board.
Resolved, That this board rea-
firms its approval OF the bill en-
titled an act to alter and re-cstab-

Resolved, That this board con-

lemns the refusal of that body to
comply with tho request, made in
'ehalf Of this board, to pass the
