BOARD HAS BEEN BUSY
LOTS OF sLAsHING DONE BY THE
TAX LEVY EXPERTS BEFORE AD-
JoURNMENT.

When the Hennepin board Of tax levy
took a recess Friday evening it had
also, taken some drastic action. One of
the members admitted today that they
had put the levy below 28 mills, and
declared that if the state board of equal
ization fixed the valuation for Mime
apolis at $130,OOO, 900, by taking expect
ed action in raising the public service
corporations, they would get the levy
below 27 mills. If the valuation was
PLACED at $129,000,000, which is the fig
ure used in the preliminary estimates
the rate of taxation will still not ex

current expense fund, principally by
turning down the proposition for fifty
additional police officers and slashing
$4,000 from the street lighting esti-
mates. The permanent Improvement
fund was hit for 100000, and there will
probably be no new engine houses nor
police station for the East Side.
Probably an equal amount was taken
from the board of charities and correc
tions which wanted close to $150,000 for
new buildings at the city hospital and
the workhouse.
The board of tax levy meets tomor-
row morning to fix the rate of taxation,
and there may be further trimming. The

REMOVE PLUMEs FROM HATS.
Among Their Booty Were Four Chi Psi

Ostrich feathers rank in value with
the, finest Jewelry in the eyes Of thieves
and are far, superior to jewels when
they are to be sold without attracting
the eyes of the police. This fact is
evidenced by the work of the clever
robbers who ransacked the residence of
Charles s. Pillsbury while the family

The robbers entered the house about

the driveway, and altho the family was
ut the table bat an hour, the entire Sec
sond floor was ransacked. The jewel
boxes were broken open, the contents
rapidly but carefully assorted, and the
best oil the articles taken away. Not
a. corner escaped the experienced eyes
OF the :narauders and several costly hats
were stripped ct their plumes and left
in the center of the room.
The !ewelry loss is heavy, but con-
sists only Of small trinkets and one or
two old heirlooms. The more ex-
pensive Jewels were locked IN

Stickpins, brooches and rings, all arti-

The thieves departed as quietly as
they came, leaving the door open. The
loss was not discovered until 10 o'clock
and was not repo1 ted until Sunday.
The loss is fully covered by a
burglar insurance policy with the Fred
L.. Gray company.
This burglary is similar to the rob-
berry Of the E. n. Saunders residence in
st. Paul last Wednesday night, where
$40 900 worth of silver plate was taken,
and it is thought to have been done by
the same men. The police of both cities
are working on the case.

SHE HAS HEAVIER WHOLESALE

Values as Reported for Taxation Show
the Minneapolis Jobbing Houses in
the Lead and Growing - Disparity
in Assessment of Retail Stores Is
Very Marked

very MaTKeu.
Has st. Paul abandoned her claim to
being the jobbing center of the north
west? - . J
The returns made to the assessors,
and presented to the state board of
equalization, show the valuation Of st.
Paul, under the head Of goods and mer-
both in wholesale and retail lines. The
old established St. Paul jobbing houses
make returns that are far lower in
every case than their younger competi-
tors in Minneapolis. -
Seven leading wholesale houses of St.
Paul, including three hardware, two dry
goods and two grocery concerns, are
assessed at a total of ST, 126,29o, Under
the head of goods and merchandise
Last year they were assessed at $780,
22O.
Seven leading wholesale houses of
Minneapolis, including one hardware,
one dry goods, two groceries,, one drugs,
establishment, made returns this year
OF 81 ,203 900, an increase from last year,
when they paid on an assessment of
$l.O9O,4 400. -
Values in Minneapolis went up; in
st. Paul they went down. The total
assessed value Of the seven ST.. Paul
houses was higher last year than the
GERMS, This year the figures are re-
vorsed.
In the. retail establishments the diff
terence is even, more marked. Eight
leading st. Paul stores, including de-
partmcnt stores, house furnishing and
dry goods establishments, returned a
total assessment of $444,64O last. year
and $414 435 this Year.
Nine minneapolis stores of the same
! class returned $870,695 last year and
$elS.S on this years assessment.
| The total assessments under the head
of goods and merchandise show Mime
apolis to be in entirely another class
from ST. Paul. The assessment re-
turned by Minneapolis last year was
| $5,812,239. This year the assessor IS
return was $7,353,43O, of which some
$4,000 was wrongfully included, be-
ing part Of ''office furniture and fix
tures.' st. Paul returned $5,479,3lO
last year and $5,6S5,119. this year.
Minneapolis is raised 20 per cent by
the state board of equalization, and ST.
Paul 25 per cent. The assessments as
fixed by the state board are $S,S24,116
for Minneapolis and 7,1O5,394 for St.
Paul. Striking out the $4,000 that
does not belong in the Hennepin assess
1nent, it is still raised ~ per cent over
last, year, and Ramsey only 80 per
