sam LichtenSteiu, formerly q resident

nome, Tor short visit Mr.. Lichtenstein
WIN his father and brothers, is the
owner OF approximately $500. 600 worth OF

deeply Interested in this city's welfare as

MI l=ichtcnstein. who has been away
from Salt Lake for three years, expressed
Inc surprise always manifested by those
who have been absent from the city
,or any length of time at the great growth
in every direction.
1T is remarkable" said he, "to see
the changes which have taken place in
salt Lake. / have been absent about
three years, and in that time The New
house buildings. the Judge building, the
DAILY hotel. the Mission theater, the Co
lonial and Bungalow thenters, the new
Dooly building and the Jennings Worth
lngton block. the Vermont building and,
alter them all, the new kearns building,
nave been raised TO show the growth,
progress and prosperity OF Salt Lake.
Growth Is Marvellous.
1T Is marvellous. and do you know. IS
said he last night l met an old friend,
one who is now deputy sheriff. and he
pegen TO tell mo how the American party
mas ruined Salt Lake. AS YOU know we
were always Americans when We were
mere and we have seen with what speed
salt Lake travelled toward a great city
'',h's1, wheh We wore here and since we left, We
would have been int-busness today II II
had not been Tor the county commissions
crS, VINO assessed our stock OF icwclry
1T its full lnventoried value when they
were assessing other businesses at about
onc-third their actual value"
And he returned to the talk with the
deputy sheriff. who had told him that
the assessed valuation was TO be blamed
upon the city administration why"
SAID Mr.. Lichtenstein. don't you think
! know Mormon or a Jack Mormon when
/ see them? The county assessor places
the valuations, and we all know IT. And
the county assessor is to blame for in
creasing the assessed valuation on the
iand. ne property we now own in Salt
Lake CITY. And II has been increa sed
from so TO 40 per cent over last year
That's not fair, We do not kick on Say-
Ing fair tax. but that much increase is
not fair"
"Wci. that's caused by the increase
in the. city taxes" said the deputy sheriff
VINO formerly patrolled Garfield They
Increased the taxes mills"
TWO mills! Why. that's only 500 on
each thousand. and that doesn't amount
10 anything, The trouble with You js
that you don't know when you are well
on That Kind OF argument does not
GO with me. Salt Lake looks like n city
today and everybody has seen the in
creased value OF property, Our property
has Increased in value zoo per cent in
hn laG
some OF it, which will increase stiil
more
