PROTESTS
JUDGE EMORY TELLS COUNCIL
THAT SECOND AVENUE RE.
GRADE ASSESSMENT IS AS.
sUREpLY UNJUST

Judge G. Meade Emory appeared
before the council last night on be-
half OF Captain +. S. DeWolf and
other property owners 20 protest
against the approval OF the assess
ment roll for the regarding OF Sec
ond avenue. He argued that the as
sessment were arbitrary and not
Uniform. The fact that the north
end OF Second avenue has already
been graded was cited as a reason
why the property holders In that
district should not be assessed the
uniform price OF fs0s per lot. as they
would not receive 50 much benefit
from the Improvement.
Judge Emory mentioned as an eN-
ample of the injustice done that n
lot al the corner % Pine street and
second avenue. assessed al $4,000,
would be worth $50. 600 when the Inn
proVement was completed. whereas
a triangular piece OF ground owned
by him on Second avenue near
Denny way. assessed az 81. coo. would
not be worth more than three times
that amount. In fact, he said that
TO make the property useahle he
would have 90 Elutce a large amount
of earth into the bay.
His protest was referred 20 the
street committee. Several council
men spoke In answer to the protest.

BIG FIRE AT NEWTON.
Baker County Town Has Another Disas-
trous Confaqrati0n.

NEWTON, Ca, Jan. 31.-Newton was
visited by another fire last night, and
today a pile of ruins marks the former
site of two of the principal buildings of
the town.
The fire started early in the night in
the store of j. 7. Norris, and had made
such Roadway when discovered that
it's progress could not be checked.
The building was completely destroy
ed, together with its contents, large
and varied stock of general 'merchan-
disc.
From the Norris building the flames
spread to the Hotel Led better across
the street. The latter was two-stOry
frame structure, and contained, on the
ground floor, the general merchandise
store CT H. A. Ledbetter. COmDara-
lively little of the merchandise or the
hotel furniture was saved, and the loss
falls heavily on MIR. Ledbetter.
J. T. Norris carried insurance to the
extent of about $4,000, but his loss 10
greater than this amount by several
thousand dollars. H. A. Ledbetter
had insurance on his hotel building
to the extent of Sl,250, but carried
none on his furniture or stock of mer-
chandiSe
