Belief Prevails That Total
Will Be Greater.
MAKE REPORT NEXT MONTH
Rvmor Has II That Assessment On
Casino and Shipyard Will Be
Slightly increased-Figures Anx-
iousiy Awaited.

According to uncOnirmcd rumors
current Yesterday. the total amount
of the assessment as made by the
assessors recently appointed by Judge
Barham will show substantial IN
crease over the assessment of five
years ago. The assessors have com
pleted considerable more than half
of their work and their report Will
be presented to the court next month.
When the matter of the new as
sessment was first discussed several
months ago there were many VINO ex-
pressed the opinion that the new as"
sessment would show g decrease III
the amount of the taxable values.
However, 1t is said now upon SEEM
ingiy good authority that there VIII
be little or no change in the assess
ment on real estat, both improved and
unimproved, with the exception OF the
Casino park 1t is understood that the
assessment on that property Will be
increased. 1t is pointed out that the
waterfront property is among the
most valuable unimproved real estate
in the city as was indicated by the
figure paid by the Powell Trust Com
pany for the two blocks on the water
front between lhirty-first. and Thir-
ty-third streets.
May Increase Shipyard Assessment.
Rumor has it that the assessment
on the shipyard also will be increas-
ed. The last assessment OF the yard
was made at something like sl,000,00O
In round figures. here is no dlSpo-
sition. it is said. to burden the ship
building company with a heavy tax,
hut the opinion prevails that
larger assessment than that now in
force would not be regarded as bur
den
The report of the assessors is be-
ing awaited with more than usual
interest by the city officials, property
owners and the public generally.
While there may not be any founda-
ton for the belief, nevertheless the
belief seems to prevail that the new
assessment will show very sub
s.antial increase over that of flve
years ago. when the total value OF
the realty property was placed ut only
SS,970,767. The new assessment does
not become effective until 1911 and
will have no effect upon the revenues
for the coming fiscal year.
Falling OF in Licenses.
Although the license tax ordinance
was amended by the city council with
the idea of giving the city an in
crease of about $1,000 in license
taxes, Commissioner of the Revenue
Crump said yesterday that the in
crease in the license tax receipts for
the coming fiscal year will pot ex-
coed & 0O0 He bases this estimate
upon the fact that the number of
business places has been reduced dur
ing the past year and there will not
be as many licenses issued this year
as were issued last year.

CHAPTER VII.

A crowd OF boys were waiting about
the door. The boy OF the back seat
linked his arm in Richards. "What'd
old Four-Eyes want?" he demanded.
Got a leather medal anywhere?"
"What'd he say, anyhow"
The fact that Richard was their
senior by several years did not seem
to impress them. They gathered
about him, chatting and questioning.
They disregarded his stern look as he
tried to shoulder his way through the
crowd.
"Oh, hold on"
Tell us what he said"
In the end Richard complied, half
resentfully.
Liked IL, did he? My eye!'
They danced about him.
~For he liked 1t, don't you know,
don't you know" they chanted, For
he liked 1t, don't you know-o-oh!"

The group took 1t up with a shout
Of Joy. They sem the burlesque jig
ging across the campus.
Heads were thrust out above. Hey,
you freshies! Haw-haw-haw! Keep
quiet, down there!"
A shout of defiance went up from
the group. They were drunk with too
much Greek and with release from OPP
preston.
A deep voice underran the chant
and snatched ii from them and made
1t beautiful, hurting it out with force.
The group looked at him a moment
doubtingly. Then they gave way and
followed his lead. The burlesque had
become a march of triumph. Breath
less they landed him at his own door.
Say, you fellows. what do you bet
old Four-Eyes don't let us all off easy
on account of the farmer?"
Three cheers for farmer!"
"Hip-hip!"
Three cheers for Four Eyesi"
Heads were thrust out again above.
"Yah-yah-yah! Dry up. down there.
Yah-yah!"
The group broke up and drifted apart
with a final yell. Windows descended
with a slam. and quiet reigned.
