John b Mcdonald. the subway contractor. ad-
mitted yesterday that he had contributed $500
TO the Tammany campaign fund.
in view of the many misleading stories afioat.

Mr.. Mcdonald. This il no new thing for me.
I gave 81 500. I have been Tammany man all
my life. My father was Tammany man be

tribute to the campaign fund. / gave the same
amount to tie Shepard campaign fund. The
story i'm morning paper about contribution
OF $4,000 from a subway contractor or SUBJ
contractor absurd Why should the sub
contractors give anything at al? they have
nothing 10 do with city officials. they are
working under the supervision Of the Rapid
Transit Commission. q State board. Further
more, they would have nothing 20 gain by pay
Ing money to a campaign fund. Their work Will
gets I'm the saddle. don't believe any OF the
sub-contractors have contributed to any cam

Wilbur F. Wakeman. who made the charge
that some OF the big corporations were contrib
uting 20 Tammany. said yesterday that il was
fact that some of the corporations have paid
large sums. Mr.. Wakeman told the Mayor that
the corporations were giving large sums TO
Tarnmany When the Mayor yester-
day he said in answer TO any inquiries:

Charles T. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall,

they?" he asked. II haven't seen any checks

ASSESSORS AT WORK.
Are Taxing Property in City and Wap
clio County,


clio County.
lFrom Wednesdays Dally.J
Now is the time for every one to be
as poor as possible, for the assessors
are vending their way about the city
and county, making their levies on
taxable property of every description.
Although not every one of them has
started to work, there are not more
than two or three who have not been
given their instructions by County Au-
ditor |. H. Hammond and begun the
performance of their duties.
Wapello county has twenty-one reg
ular assessors, some of whom have
assistants. In Ottumwa the assessor,
]. T. Smith, is assisted by three men,
]. F. Peck, ]. w. Kitterman and F. L.
Finley. All of these officers in the
county have filed their bonds. and
these have been accepted with the ex-
ception of the ASSESSOR for Agency
City, who has neither filed a bond nor
appeared at the Office of the county
auditor for instructions, and Mr.. Ham
mond does not know who will assess
the taxes against the citizens of
Agency.
Only one change of note has been
made by the state this year, that be-
ing with regard to soldiers exemp-
tons. Heretofore it has been the rule
that on homesteads only, when not
worth more than $500, an exemption
should be made, but according to the
new ruling, any old soldier or sailor
or his widow is entitled to an exemp-
ton on property to the value of $500
if his or her property is worth no more
than $4,000.

ures Show Assessed Valuation.

County Treasurer R. P. Dana has
prepared the tax levy for 1902, by
which it Is possible to see the exact
amount of taxes that will be required
this year on city property of various
values. The levy for the consolidated
tax is 1866 mills and the water tax is
five mills additional The column
under the head of values in the table
below the assessed valuation of the
property, which is one fourth of the
real value. To find the amount q tax
payer will have to pay it will be ne
cessary to divide the value of the, pro-
perty by four and look in the table for
the total opposite the value found.
The first half of the taxes can be paid
at any time between now and March
81. and when that is paid there is from
that time until September 80 to pay
the last half. If the first half is not
paid before April 1, penalty of 1 cent
per month is attached and the pay
ments are not divided, it then being
necessary to pay the total amount.
This list refers only to city property
and includes the water tax, which is
not palu outside the fire limits:
