yesterday morning and during the after
noon went through the formality Of read
Ing the minutes and setting in order its
report to the city council. The efforts of
the board were directed toward raising the
assessemnts on the public service copora-
lions, upon the Union Stock yards and on
the packers. 1t was found upon examina-
ton Of the county assessors books that the
assessment had been reduced about $1,000
600 all told, and thereafter the board deter
mined to bring the figures back to the
original point by revision of the work Of
the county assessor. The corporate inter
ests were forced to bear the greater por-
tlon OF the raise, but in this respect all
were treated on an equal footing.
The valuation fixed by the board Of re-
view brings the city assessment up to
s24,5OOOOO. in round numbers.
One rason for keeping the assessment up
Is that the limit Of the issue Of general
Improvement bonds OF the city is deter
mined by the assessment valuation of the
real and personal property in the city. AT
this time nearly every street in the city
is clamoring for paving Should the as
sessment be lowered the limit Of the bond
issue would the sooner be reached. Further
the board was anxious that there be no
raising OF the levy.
Some private property was raised con-
siderably, notably some of the residences
and store buildings on North Twenty
fourth street. The following table shows the
raise in the assessment OF the corporations
