ASSESSMENTS DUE
0RAN0THER BOOST
Doran Is Preparing for Increases on
Monroe and Woodward Similar
To Those on Griswold.

Assessor Doran. whose term expires
June 80. Is very busy man these
cold winter days. and II is an open
secret that he will close his service
as assessor by series or changes In
the valuations OF downtown business
property which will be even more OF
shock TO realty owners than the In
creases which he placed npon Girls
wold-st. property and several down
town apartment houses and hotels last
year.
Woodward and Monroe-aves. will get
the largest boosts this year. II Is said.
but the readjustment OF values to lit
present prices will affect all the busi-
ness section of the central wards. IL
will be remembered that the increased
assessments made by Doran last year
stood. the one reduction In Ills figures
being voluntary change made by
IAran. Although there was healthy
howl from property-owners. the asses
sor was ready with facts to prove his
figures and the taxes were paid.
This year he has gone into the mat
ter even more carefully. making a
large map OF the downtown business
section All sales and new leases
have been carefully noted and values
corservatively computed therefrom.
A great deal of information has been
gathered and II is not unlikely that
some OF the changes will be as start
ling as those in the Griswold-st. assess
ments.
Doran has kept his work very much
TO himself SO far, but will call the
other assessors into consultation be-
fore he makes his figures public. The
growth Of the city has resulted In
rapid increases In the prices at which
downtown property is held, and most
real estate men admit that assess
ments have not kept pace with this
development.
When Doran requested last July to
be allowed to continue In the central
district. contrary to the custom which
has prevailed OF shifting districts
every year. 1t was for the purpose OF
completing the work he had laid out
for himself there. ha

WIDOW.

men who have ever profted by It.
but how great the army that have
defed it only to find themselves en-
SHARED and lead as helpless, even
though willing, victims to the altar.
Beware of the widow, Down
through the ages the alIuring charms
of the widow have been celebrated in
prose and in poem Man long ago
recognized his utter inability to es-
cape from the widow once she set
about his capture. The JOY Of the
chase has compensated them for the
ending, and quite often the aftermath
has been matrimonial experience of
continued bliss, Statistics. we believe
win show conclusiyely that few Wild
ows who have married again are
found figuring in divorce proceedings.
In their first experience they learned
the gentle art of subduing man and
retaining control of him so perfectly
that he never seeks to escape from
the net into which he is enticed. Hap
py the man who marries a widow is
almost a proyerb. One thinking or

loved and lost that one may love

behind the fascinating widows of the
land is ample evidence that they pcs
sess a subtle charm to please that
their more youthful competitors have
failed TO grasp, and that is wholly
denied to those who have passed in
to the prim and puckerish period of
desolate old maidenhood.
Recently the attractions Of the wild

several New York gentlemen of e

their pens in a symposium devoted to

practical observation. But while all
men realize the irresistible influence

the average individual OF the other

L IS difficult 10 tell whether this
