ASSESSMENT RETURNS
SHOW GRADUAL INCREASE

The returns of the city assessor

made a substantial increase in value
since the last assessment. The total

$40, an increase of 1855, 4O5. Lands
are appraised at $95.615. lots at So
OS7,65O, personal property at $73S, O75.
in each case an increase over the pre-
vious assessment. Notwithstanding
the erection of new factory buildings
of great size, many private dwellings
and a number of stores, Moline's to-
tai is only S2,241,3 65, an increase for
the year of $99,O2s. Compared with
Rock Islands increase of $35S,405 this
is insignificant and would Indicate a
more material growth in Rock Island.
Moline showed it's greatest increase in
the valuation of lots, but that was
only $65,135, as compared with the
corresponding item of $95,675 for
Rock Island. The total value of lots

Rev. Mr.. JohnsOn's Dwelling Burned
surt. KirkInnd's Offices.

Waycross, Ga. Jan. 1.-The dwelling
of Rev w. c. Johnson, on the corner
of Third and Jones streets, was de-
stroyed by fire at o'clock this morn
ing. The fire department made a great
run after the alarm was turned in,
but on account of the distance and the
lack of water facilities, the building
was destroyed in a short time. The
department, however. prevented near
by dwellings from being consumed.
The house destroyed was insured for
small amount.
The general offices of Superintendent
D. f. Kirkland's division of the At
lantic Coast Line are now located in
Waycross. The clerks in the general
offices of superintendent Kirkland, ar
rived here from Townsville this morn
ing, and a car load of office furniture
also came in. The offices will be To-
Gated for the present on the second
floor of the Southern Hotel building in
the quarters formerly occupied by Su-
perintendent George w. Haines. The
four train dispatchers for this division
will be located on the second floor of
the passenger station. An additional
telegraph wire has recently been con-
structed from Waycross to Dupont for
their use in handling the trains. Su-
perintendent Kirkland, with his wife,
has been in the city for several days.
