that they have done their best, but

WORK NEARLY DONE
Assessors to Complete the Work
of vaIuing Real Estate Be-
fore the End of Week.
BIG BOOST FOR FACTORIES

The assessors of the city are now
completing the work of making the
annual valuation of the real estate
in the city and the report will be
ready at the time of the meeting of
the board of review on next Monday
morning. The figures have not as
yet been added up and tabu1ated, but
it is stated that the grand total will
show large increase in the valuation
of the real estate in the city.
The assessors have made an effort
to assess the property at as near its
real value as possible and for this
reason there has been a general in
crease all along the line. The work
of assessing the residence property in
the city is now completed and it is
stated that increases have been made
in the valuation of many of the resi-
dences. The work of valuing the
real estate of the factories is now oc-
cupying the attention of the board.
This work is being done with great
deal of care and it is expected that
several of the factories will get big
increases on assessment of buildings
and land.
One of the assessors in speaking of
the matter this morning stated that
the effort was being made to bring
the factory interests of the city up to
the same plane as other taxpayers and
while it was possible that there would
be big fight before the board of re-
view, the assessors would insist that
the factory men pay their share of
the taxes. 1t is expected that more
than million. dollars will be added
to the value of the real estate and
buildings owned by the various indus
trial plants Of the city before the
assessors have completed their work.
The taking of the personal lists
this year promises to be tedious job
and the assessors do not expect to
have their books ready to turn over to
the city clerk until some time in Au-
gust. There will be a heavy tax roll
next fall, and if the people are to get
off with one per cent tax there will
have to be a decided increase in the
present valuation of the property in
the city.

LEGISLATIVE GRAFT.

II Is fact well known to all that
from the beginning to the end of the
legislative session it is but one contn'
ued round of graft. 1t is graft from
evc-y possible standpoint and at every
time. Trades. combinations, schemes
are hinges upon graft. From every
point of the compass comes these prop
ostons, and almost one.half the meas.
ures proposed have back of them some
hidden stag Of graft. There are the
usual promises to uHroot these evils and
some new mcmbe-s go to the capital

Moses to lead his people out of their
moral bondage to the high plain Of
rectitude. One of these temporary
vapors has arisen in the person of Rep
