would scale over, and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.

ue of lots in the city is placed at ST.

lures thereon is fixed at $1,675,665,
making a total valuation Of $780, SO
The value of personal property is
given at $~1,l67.435 being only about
$1,000 greater than the personal prop

The work Of assessing this year was
carried only quite rapidly, despite the
fact that the enrolment of voters UNI
der the terms of the assessor registra-
ton act had to be done during the
same period. The employment Of ad-
ditional deputies made it possible to
hasten the work.
