" 40 per cent less than last year we
want it understood that we most
earnestly protest against the adopuon
of the recommendation of the COM
mittee."
In a supplementary statemeTs Mr.
Mum said that the assessment OF the
Twin City company's property had
been increased 374 per cent in the
course of five years and he hoped the
board would not impose still further
increase of so per cent.
Mr.. Shook Asks Questions.
In response to questions put to him
by Mr.. Shook, of Aitkin, he said that,
the gross earnings of the company had
increased about $250,000, or per cent
last year over the previous year the
increase for the present year over iast
year had been estimated to be in about
the same ratio The earnings, he said,
had for the past five years, increased
at the rate of from to II per cent.
Mr.. Shook referred to the fact that
dividends equal to per cent per an
mum on common and per cent on pre-
ferred stock of the street railway COM,
pany had been reported in January,
February or March last and preferred
had been quoted at $1.55 and common
at $1.131s on the New York Stock Elk
change last April, and asked Mr.. Mum
If it was not true that the stock was
OF the value stated on May 1, the date
OF the assessment. ~ e
Mr.. Mum took up the question of
preferred stock and said that it was not
stock in law or in fact, for 1t had
been given in payment of an indebted
ness Of the company and the creditors
who accepted this stock exacted the
conditions that it should provide per
cent annually out of the first earnings

was allowed to accumulate or not.
The common stock he said was SELL
ing May 1 for 80 cents and the total
property of the st. Paul and Mime
apolts companies consists at this time
of common stock of the value of $10,-
100000 and bonds of $10,000,000 given to
secure debts Of the old days of the
street cars and the cable cars.
]. o. P. Wheelwright, Minneapolis
attorney, appeared for the Minneapolis
Gas Light company. He said that in
1899 the company he represented paid
taxes to the amount of $13,578.26, which
was 2.83 per cent of its gross earnings,
and in 1902 paid $23,7S5.06, which was
3.55 per cent of its gross earnings Of
that year. Last year the board had
raised the valuation of the company'S
property 100000 and this year 1t had
been proposed to increase the valuation
from $4,000 to $1,000 900. He de-
clared that the bushes conditions are
not such as to justify this increase.
The company must pay II per cent
more for its coal this year than last;
"a per cent more for oil this year than
last, and 25 per cent more for labor,
and this has resulted in an increase of
$4,000 in the cost of prodaction of it's
commodity. The gross earnings of the
company, he said, have only increased
29 per cent this year over last, and the

COMES TO STUDY
YANKEE METHODS
Secretary of Paris Board of
Health Calls on St. Paul
Officials.

The city hall had a distinguished Wis
Itor yesterday.
Prof Max L. Couppey de la Forest,
secretary of the Paris board of health,
is in this country to study municipal
government, and his mission to ST.
Paul was to investigate the methods
employed in the department of health.
incidentally he visited all the city de-
partments shook hands with the heads
thereof and was fitted out with photo
graphs, annual reports and any other
information he cared to carry off.
''Ze public baths is re most unique
institution 1 hat ever SEEM" he said to
Health Commissioner Ohage, who
showed him over Harriet island, but
re environments are shocking. If we
had re island in Paris we would make
of it one beautiful place. You are too
commercial in America. You not real
lie what nature has given you"
Prof. Couppey de Ia Forest next Wis
tied the state board of health, and late
yesterday evening left for Minneapolis,
where further Investigations will be
made.
The distinguished visitor was in rap
lures over st. Paul and its beautiful
surrounding, but repeated his remark
made to DR.. Ohage that St. Paul, like
the rest of the United States, paid more
attention to money getting than it did
to the civic pride.
IF Paris only had re hills" he said,
pointing to the bluffs, mo railroad, no
factory would ever desecrate them.

how good nature has been to YOU

PASTOR DEPARTS
WITH GOOD WISHES
Rev. John Sinclair Is rendered
a Farewell Receptlon-His
Work ExtoIled.

The congregation of the First Pres
byterfan church rendered a reception
last evening to its retiring pastor, Rev.
John Sinclair, who leaves on Monday
next to take up his new work in Brook
line, Mass.
The reception was largely attended
and all of the speakers testified to the
high regard and appreciation in which
Mr.. Sinclair was held, not by his con-
gregation alone, but by all the Presby-
terrain churches in the city. Theodore
Smith, president of the Commercial
club, and H. p. Hall spoke for the con-
grega ton. DR.. M. d. Edwards, pastor
of the Dayton Avenue Presbyterian
church, wished Mr.. Sinclair all success
in his new field. He also expressed his
regret for the loss sustained by the
synod in the departure of Mr.. Sim
clair, who had been especially promi-
nent and efficient during the six years
of his pastorate in this city.
Dr.. Alexander McGregor, of the Park
Congregational church, expressed the
regret of the Congregationalists of st.
Paul at the departure of Mr.. Sinclair.
Thomas Hawthorne spoke for the law
yers of the city.
Besides the speeches there was mu-
sic by Mrs. j. F. Shea and Mrs. Arthur
Bush, who sang, and instrumental mu-
sic by Miss Bush Miss Bessie Bodkin,
the organist of the church, and Miss
Helen Geer.
Among those who were present were:
Congressman McCleary, of Mankato;
DR.. w. III. H. Boyle, of the House of
Hope church; DR.. Fulton, of the Cen
trail Presbyterian church; DR.. John
Copeland, of the East Presbyterian
church, and, in fact, nearly all of the
Presbyterian ministers of st. Paul
Those who received and served re-
freshments were: Mrs. D. K. Schaub,
Mrs. ]. K. Shea, Mrs. S. Horton, Mrs
J. McCulloch, Mrs. J. P. Cooper, Mrs.
H. Brauley and several of the young
women of the congregation who assist
ed.
Rev. John Sinclair took charge of the
First Presbyterian church six years
ago. During his pastorate the church
has been nearly cleared of debt, $1,000
of the debt having been paid off. The
membership has been trebled and from
comparatively weak congregation, the
church has grown to be one of the
strongest in the. city.

Of it, the vote ON the committee report,
when the question was put by Chair
man Sprague, of the board, was unani-
mouSly in favor of it's adoption. The
recommendations of the committee,
with comparative figures, are given
above in tabular form. SIR
The committee arrived at it's figures
by taking the market value of the
stocks of the corporations where they
were obtainable and otherwise by TAX
Ing into consideration the earnings of
the companies.
q Today, beside the loan and trust
companies which have been cited to
appear, the board will deal with the
assessments of the two telegraph COM
panies and that will clean up it's bust
ness. 5u
The Western Union company was
last year and for some years previously,
assessed on a valuation of $1,000,000,
but it's taxes for last year are in hti-
cation. The North American was as
sessed at 100000 last year. 1t is
understood that the board will assess
both companies at the same amount as
last year.
