OVER A MILLION AND A HALF

City Assessment Completed Shows vaIua.
ton Of $i.S29.S54. an Increase for the
Year Of $2S3.s54
Major G. A. Manning has completed
the assessment of the city of Lewiston
and gave the total to the press last night.
The total valuation for 1903 Is $685.
4s4, as against 81 ,245, 900 for last year. an
increase of $283.s54 for the year. The
real estate in the city is valued at $S55,-
I4o. the improvements at $4,000 and
the personal property at $33I,3l4.
The greatest gain is in real estate values
last year they we're placed at $6o5,75o.
The increase is practically $75o.ooo. The
Improvements have increased only about
$4,000 and the personal property has
decreased slightly. The increase of real
estate values is due in some measure to
the increase of city boundaries under the
charter extending the city limits, but
there is also marked increase in pro-
perty values. Major Manning places this
increase roughly at $50 900.
In making mp the assessment in the
new additions very low valuations were
placed on property north of the river aud
above the water line as those properties
will get little value from the water and
light service as now constituted.
The assessment rolls will now be
turned over to the city council and ON
the fourth Monday of August they will
convene as board Of equalization to re-
view the work of the assessor and to hear
complaints if any are filed within the
limit given by law.

the woman portion of the funds held
by her aunt, Mrs. Ella Gear of Hinsdale,
and restoring her furniture and other
property. Steps will be taken to restore
to the woman the four children that
were placed in "home" when she was
committed to Dunning, and the court
said he would assist her to re-establish
her home in Michigan that was broken
up by the alleged conspiracy. Some
weeks ago the woman appeared before
Judge Cutting and finally convinced him
that there was basis for her claims that
she had been placed in an asylum with
out warrant He ordered her release.
She declared that when her husband
died he owned a chicken farm in Van
Buren, county, Michigan. She received
check for $1,000 from an insurance
| society, and then, she declares her aunt
and relatives enticed her to Chicago and
secured possession of the check and her
property. Then they took her before
the insane court and had her committed
to Dunning. The aunt, Mrs. Gear, in
sisted before the court that Mrs. Pollay
was weak minded.

works. The shifting sand made it i'm
possible to sink the well evenly and the

considerable part of the wall. The well
is now down about 90 feet, with plenty
of water if solid foundation could be
found, but no progress has been made
this week.
