Another Increase in the

Exceed Six Million When

over $6,000,000 this year The values as

Last year r. G. Dunn as state auditor
made fight for a 100000 assessment,
but the majority of the board decided not

In Hennepin county and s40O 900 In Ram
sey county, with the understanding that

unchanged, that course probably will be

be changed this year, unless additions
have been made to the buildings The
total assessment Of the street railway

Europe the pleasure Of witnessing bloody
