County Assessor Has Seen Fit to add
$4,000 to Returns of the Chronicle
and Review and $4,000 to Cowl-
es Personal Return for Associate
Press Franchise---Tax Circulation
Assessments of Spokane Financiers

1t is drawing near the time when
the board Of equalization will be re-
viewing the kicks and complaints to
be registered against the work of
the assessor and his deputies. 1t is
the time of the annual carnival of
holler and true statement"
One of the things which is certain
to come up Is the matter of the as
sessment of franchises and intangi-
Bile property. Chief of these will be
the result of the kicking on Associ-
ated Press franchise, made more
notable last year by litigation start
ed by the chief owner of the morning
daily and it's afternoon adjunct
1t will be recalled that last year
both the prosecuting attorney and
the attorney general of the state
advised the board of equalization
that newspaper circulation was tax
able property. The county commits
sioners were about to cut that item
out of the assessment levied by the
assessor when an injunction issued
from the court. w. II. Cowles, chief
owner of the morning daily and its
afternoon edition, restrained the
county treasurer fro menforcing col
lection of the levy The city got into
the game to the extent of interven-
Ing in It's own interest as having a
share In the taxes which would re-

suit If the tax were levied. That is
the present situation, with the ad-
judication of the tax squabble in the
hands of Judge KEENAN, and no de-
cision as yet.
The board Of equalization will con-
vene next Monday and take up the
kicks. This is the year when there
are no real estate taxes, except such
as appear in the form of improve
ments to real estate made since
March 1, 1904. So that personal tax
equalization will have the prepon-
derance of consideration by the
board. 1t is expected that one MEM
Der of the tax commission of the
state will be present. but the menu
Der is not known at this time
OF course, intangible property and
franchise and circulation will be up
again, but the board is powerless to
change the real estate equalization
of one year ago.
Assessor Stewart has not been ter
rified by possible litigation and has
gone on under the instruction of his
official advisors. the county attorney
and the attorney general of the state.
Here are a few of the large personal
estates as they appear on the books
of the assessor:
w. Fl. Cowles-Four horses, $3.50;
four wagons and carriages, $500;
sewing machine, $40; watches and

MORE PLANS
FOR MILKMEN

The board of health is now pre-
pairing plans whereby milkmen ship
ping their product from suburban
towns into the city will be enabled
to keep the temperature of the milk
down to the required degree.
Health Officer Genoway stated this
morning that he intended to issue
instructions to the milkmen as soon
as possible. The plan to be sug-
gested is for the milkmen to wrap
water-soaked burlap sacks about the
milk cans at the time of shipment.
''fhe features of this PLAN" said
DR.. Genoway, us it's simplicity and
economy. Any milkman can secure
the sacks and 1t will be n small mat
ter to wet them"
Next year the health office intends
to prevail upon the milk dealers In
the suburbs to agree to send in
enough milk to warrant the railroads
In placing a regular milk car on the
route.

your franchise gives you the right
TO cross and recross the sidewalks
or the city and, If not, how YOU
are going to do it," Mr.. Hunting
ton had nothing to say in reply to
that facer.
According to the company's fran
chise given 1t by the city council
and passed on March 81, the company
Is supposed to repair the bridges in
question In such a manner as to per-
NIT OF safe travel over the struc-
lures. The ordinance provides that
the company shall, If required by the
board of public works, strengthen
the remaining bridges, which in
cludes the third channel structure.
1t Is the contention of the COM
pany that the third channel bridge
can not be repaired. In this the COM
pany is backed up by City Engineer
Mcintyre and Councilman Snyder.
Councilman Pratt is not in favor
OF acting on the proposition i'm
mediately. He stated before the
meeting that he thought the bridge
could be repaired. In his opinion,
the city is not in a position to go
ahead and expend $4,000, which
would be required for constructing
a new bridge. Councilman Pratt
stated that the city would be better

COMMISSIONER DEANS
INTERVIEW MAY CAUSE
HIM MUCH TROUBLE

All the members OF the grand Jury
were in the county Jail this morning,
and some people wished that they
might be kept there for several
weeks They went there to investi-
gate the condition Of the institution
and after looking over the premises
returned to their deliberations in
Judge Huneke5s courtroom.
One of the matters which Is quite
certain to be taken up is the attitude
toward his legal advisors by County
Commissioner Dean. who seems to
think that a county commissioner is
poo-bah, In whose Judgment the
opinions of legally constituted adj
visors need be taken only when they
concur In the individual will of the
commissioner. In an interview pub
lished this morning the commissioners
set at naught loyal advice from his
constituted advisors.
II don't consider that we are legal
ly bound to accept Mr.. Barnhart's
opinion" Mr., Dean IL quoted as say
ing, 1T Is simply an opinion, and
Is not the decision of any court"
That is going 1t pretty strong in
view of the fact that the attorney
general of tho state has held that
until a court OF competent jurisdic-
tion has set aside a prosecuting at
torney's opinion. a county official
should abide by such prosecuting at
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-08-02

able to stand the expense a few
years from now and it would be bet
ter to expend a smaller sum for re-
pairing the structure than to put out
the entire $4,000.
1t Is stated on rough estimation
that 1t would cost $4,000 to repair the
bridge for a period of three years.
1t is limited by the councilmen not
in favor with building the new
structure that the Washington Water
Power company wants the new struc-
ture built IN order that 1t may es-
cape the cost of repairing the same.
Councilman Pratt said the whole
proposition didn't look good" to
him.
Councilman Gray then made a mo-
ton to the effect that the council
men, city engineer and board of pub
lie works meet and go over the
bridge today. The motion was
adopted.
Street Commissioner ONO states
that something will have to be done
or close the bridge, as it is not in
safe condition for travel.
The matter will again be taken
up by the city council as soon as an
estimate of the cost of repairing the
bridge is submitted by the board of
public works.

here and st. Paul are down as the
result of a storm, and as a conse-
quence no messages have been re-
ceived.
The word received in press dis
patches from the east did not bear
out the strong statements of local
officials of NO trouble"
THE strike is more serious than
at first thought say men at the top.
The men are evidently standing by
their guns Word from Montana, the
Dakotas and farther east indicates
almost a complete tieup. Even the
dispatchers have Joined the strikers
in most places.
Trains were in nearly every in
stance late in arriving and leaving
Spokane today, the official statements
Notwithstanding, and a demoraliZed
state exists in freight traffic. The
strength of the strikers will not be
fully evident, say the leaders, until
Thursday, when they promise a COM
plete tieup.
The local strikers have not as yet
opened up a headquarters, but state
that one will be opened on Washing
ton street tomorrow, from whence
the correct thing can be learned as
to the progress of their cause.

NOPE THREATS From
WATER POWER COMPANY

The Washington Water Power
company, through its representative,
ID. l.. Huntington. last night at
tempted to bluff the city fathers into
going ahead with the construction
of a new bridge across the third
channel of the Howard street thor
oughfare by stating that unless the
city took some steps 1t would go
ahead on Its own account and build
bridge on its adjoining property.
The matter was brought before the
committee as a whole during its
meeting last evening. d. l.. Hunting
ton, In introducing the matter, adj
dressed the committee in part as
follows: Il would like to have the
committee take up and settle this
matter tonight, for we want to go
ahead. If the city won't do anything.
We will build our own bridge"
Councilman Phillips then mildly
asked Mr.. Huntington as to how the
company was going to carry out
It's scheme without the permission
of the council.
Il guess we have the right to do
what we please on our own prop
erty," replied Mr.. Huntington. That
may all be true enough" said Mr..
