well, Alonzo Elliott and J. v Greif
we're sworn in as supervisors Of the
city tax books, but did not begin
work. They decided to wait and leave
a settlement Of the confusion of the
matter TO the boards. which meet to-
night. Mayor Yeiser, after consulting
the CITY solicitor, decided that his last
years appointments are good for four
years. 1t lie understood there is some
objection to this, and it will be left to
the boards tonight. II the supervisors
of last year are to serve -four years the
assessment of last year must be used,
not the one made by Assessor Dick
this year. And IL this is decided to
be the proper thing, the supervisors
can be in session only six days, and
must during that time do nothing but
revise the assessment thev went over
last year.
