ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. Henry 9.
3. Hastings and William II. Coates
and about thirty other members OF
the First regiment, New York infantry
volunteers, have sued the United
States government for two months
pay for services in the Hawaiian
Islands during the spanish-American
war. Testimony in their cases was
taken here by e. G. Sturges as special
commissioner. The government holds
that the regiment was given furlough
for sixty days, but the evidence given
before Commissioner SturEes went to
show that the members Of the regiment
performed military durty during the
entire period of the alleged furlough,
and it is upon that fact that the plain-
tiffs base their claims.

TUESDAY NIGHT
Eiias Zimmerman Gets Part OF uir
Stand shot or white oun-
nsng Yesterday.

Roland Schill, the 6-year-old
son of Councilman George
Schill, was the victim of an acci-
dent about dark Tuesday night
that might have proved serious,
but from which he was fortu~
nate enough to escape with conn
paratively slight injuries. The
lad was crossing North Queen
street, in North Martinsburg,
when the automobile of Mr.
Walter w. Trout, handled by
that gentleman and occupied by
three or four persons, struck
him and knocked him down.
The machine was going at a
slow rate of speed and Mr..
Trout succeeded in getting il
stopped after one of the front
wheels had passed over the lad.
The lad was picked up and
taken home, where q physician
found that no bones broken
The chief injuries consisted OF
several painful bruises about
the head and face, severe
enough to confine the lad to
his home for a few days. The
lad was unaware of the close
proximity Of the machine, nor
did the occupant see the boy
until the moment he was
struck.

value OF his property, while the
richer man paid taxes on a walls
uation of about one third to one~
half the value. This injustice
has been corrected, and all prop.
erty owners placed on common
footing. This necessarily re-
suited in ali increased valuas
ton throughout the county,
making the net increase over
last year a very substantial
one.
In explanation of the COM
paratively small increase in the
! Hedgesville and Falling Waters
districts, it is stated that the
assessors found that the inn
provements to land in those dis
tricts had been assessed at a
highererate than in the other
districts Of the county, and that
when it came to reassessing
the property there it was found
that there was less margin to
work on than in the other dis.
! tricts.
The greater proportionate ins
crease in the Arden district is
/ due to the fact that many of
of the lots in the ives tern end
of the city, known as the
"boom' land, are included in
this district, and as this land is
valuable it rapidly ran into the
thousands.
Under the new tax law all
property owners will have the
privilege of examining his as'
sessment on the books at the
county clerks Office. If he be.
lieves the assessments too high
he will have the right to appear
before the Berkeley County
court, and if it can be shown to
the satisfaction of the court
that the assessment is erron-
eous, the court will reassess
the property. Mr.. smith states
that some errors may be found,
and that the court may have
some work to do in placing an
other value on property. He
also states that the law con-
templates another assessment
where it is found that the recent
assessment is too low, and that
there may also be some errors of
this nature to correct. In the
event of any one. whose property
has been given in a too low fig
ure making complaint of ex~,
cessive valuation, the tax COM
missioners will insist that the
property be placed at a figure
nearer it's real value then the
one formerly placed upon it.
THE INCREASE.
The gross increase in the val>
ne of real estate in the county
is AS per cent. over the figures
for last year. This includes all
school and church property,
upon which a valuation was
placed under the provisions of
the new tax laws. This pro-

Commissioners For Berkeley County
Finish Their Important Task.
NET INCREASE OF IS PER CENT.
Messrs Smith and Rgsby Talk of the Work
and Say 1t Has Been Accomplished
With Fairness to All People.

Mr.. J. III. Smith Mr.. O. s.
Rigsby, assistant state tax
commissioners, have completed
the work of reassessing the real
property of Berkeley county,
and have turned the books over
to County Clerk Bender, who
will forward them to State Tax
Commissioner Dillon's Office at
Charleston, where they will
form part of the records upon
which the state tax levy will
be based next year.
The work of reassessing the
land of Berkeley Co., has occu'
pied the assistant commission
ers for a period of five months
actual work. They began their
duties on January 20 and turns
ished them yesterday, working
! steadily with the exception of
! about month, when the con-
ds ionof the weather would not
permit. They were allowed
seven months time by law, but
accomplished the important
task with one month to spare.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Rigsby
were seen today by represent
alive of The Evening World,
and they went into details con-
cerning the work and gave the
newspaper man every oppor-
tunity to get atthe salient points
in summing up the result. Mr..
Smith declared that the work
had been accomplished with the
utmost care by himself and Mr..
Rigsby, and that the valuations
placed upon the property that
came under their jurisdiction
were just what they believed
to be absolutely correct. In
fixing the value of all lands and
improvements they were care~
full to come as near the "true
and actual value" as possible,
and if any errors have been
made as they frankly admit
may be found such errors are
bf Judgment and will be found
10 be on the side of a too low
value, rather than too high.
Their work has been characters
|zed throughout with a spirit of
fairness to all that did not adj
nit of any favors to any indi,
kidual, and they state that they
believe an investigation on the
part of property owners will
convince all of this fact.
In speaking of the increased
Valuation in the county as a
whole, Mr.. Smith states that
he proportion of increase has
= been made greater on the props
brty of the rich and well
10 do than on theman of modest
means. In their work they
found that former assessments
we're invariably lower on the
properties of the man of means
han on his poorer neighbor,
md very often the latter was
assessed right up to the actual
