Special Rates Old Subscriptions When Paid in Advance

a wrong thing to take away the
home of the Commercial Club.
an institution that was kept up
solely for the purpose of advanc-
ing the interests of the city,
when other buildings just as
suitable could be secured for
the post office. 0. A. Lamor-
eaux also appeared before the
council and in a few we'll chosen
words expressed his views. He
stated that his only desire was
to secure a good building cen
trally located for the post Office
and believed that this could be
done without using the old lib
rary. He said that he had a
warm spot in his heart for the
Commercial Club and that he
would do everything possible to
have them retain their quarters,
and if a post office building
could be secured he would not
want the lease. Mr.. Bell pro-
posed laying the question of
leasing the library over SO that
another building could be looked
up in the meantime and this was
agreeable to Mr.. Lamoreaux but
the council turned this down
and by a vote Of z to 4 leased the
building.
An effort is now being made
to secure either the Brick bdild-
ing or the Kinney building and
in this event the lease of the
library building will not be taken
up.

Re.Assessment is the Bone of
Contention.
Attorney John Walsh of This
City Starts the Ball
Rolling.

The Constitutionallty Of the
now famous Iron River re-assess-
ment case will be mined
soon, if the proceedings started
a few days ago are carried
through. Mark Hessey of Iron
River, by his attorney, John
Walsh of this city has set the
machinery of the courts in motion
and the matter will be settled in
it's final analysis by the Supreme
Court. Most Of our readers are
familiar with the Iron River case.
Several of the tax payers of that
town. being dissatisfied with the
assessment made by Assessor
Edward Goulet, appealed TO the
State Tax Commission. After
hearing by the Commission a
new assessment was ordered.
Three disinterested gentlemen
were selected to do the work.
George Morgan of this city was
one of them and the other two
were appointed from Douglas
County. Town Clerk Daniels in
making up the roll and extend
ing the tax, refused to use the
new roll but made his figures on
the basis of the assessment made
by the local assessor. Town
Treasurer Hubbard has collected
some taxes, but last week man
damus proceedings were started
to compel the Clerk to make up
the tax roll on the basfs~of the
re-assessment. The matter will
come up in Circuit Court next
week at Ashland. Mr.. Walsh
will represent the com mplainant
and Attorney Charles Morris of
Iron River and John M. Olin OF
Madison will represent the Town
of Iron River.
Another case which will be in
teresting is one in which the
School Board of the Town of
Orienta has secured Judgment
against the School Board of the
Town of Iron River. The
amount of the judgment is over
100000. A transcript was filed
with the Clerk, but he failed to
put it on the tax roll. Attorney
Walsh of this city who repre-
sents the Town of Orienta has
secured an order compelling the
authorities of the town of Iron
River to show cause why an ex-
ecution should not be issued and
the school houses in the town of
Iron River sold to satisfy the
Judgment. The outcome of these
proceedings will be watched with
interest.
