the Prairie OH and Gas Co. The let
ter to Mr.. Bryan follows:
~ notice that in your reply TO
President Roosevelt's attack on Gov
ernor Haskell you say you were en-
tirely ignorant of Npere ever having
been any charges made against Mr..
Haskell. II you were ignorant Of such
charges, It Is because you refused 70

VALUES SOON TO
BE INCREASED
Opinion Of Real Estate Dealers
Regarding Effect Of In
creased Assess
ments.
CENTER PROPERTY HIGHER
Rents Doubtless win BE More---Few
Appeals VIII Be Taken to the
Board Of Relief, II Is
Believed.

In regard TO the raise IN the as
sessed valuation OF property In the
center OF the city, several prom nent
real estate dealers were OF the opin-
Ion yesterday that the raise would
also be followed by higher selling All
rental values.
In this regard. John T. Sloan had
the following to say: The values
will go up but not any at present. and
there is not liable to be any increase
in selling. People will kick consid-
cradle over the raise as the property
has had all that It will stand and is
now assessed high enough"
More emphatic than this was the
opinion Of Frederick NJ. Ward: The
increase .n assessments on property
In the center of the city Will naturally
put the value up little higher. When
an increase of assessment OF from
$3.50 to $500 Ia made. II will add a
great deal to good sized lot and peo-
pie will want to get more for 1t as a
result OF the increased taxes, both in
selling and in renting. There is no
doubt but what there will be some
appeals. but they will not be a large
proportion. The raise In the prices
will doubtless be made, but may not
be carried"
william II. H. Hewitt said; II think
II will increase the prices on property
and there will be buyers who will pay
the higher amounts. have heard 1T
tie complaint as to the raise, and
think there will be little said. The
price Of rents also will increase ma.
terially. They will go up more In
proportion than the selling values
People will want to get more wher
they have higher taxes to pay. and will
20 to their tenants for more. The
raise In assessments has been because
OF the tremendous business In real cs
tate since July, 1901 This makes thu
property owners and the storekecper
better able to pay the increased taxes
I think there will be- very few ap
peals taken to the board Of relief
Most OF the raises will be met"
