FREIGHT TROLLEY
SERVICE LEGAL
THE OPINION

The opinion OF City Solicitor Daniel
o. Hastings regarding the right OF the
Peoples Railway Company to operate
a freight service over its lines In this
city, was received by the Directors Of
the Street and Sewer Department to-
day. In IL Mr.. Hastings holds that
as the franchise OF the company, as
granted by the city. does not mention
whether II shall run freight or pas
senger cars in the city. but only re-
stricts IL to the powers Of It's charter.
and that as State laws provide that
unless expressly provided against in
the charter, all railway corporations
shall have the power to operate both
freight and passenger cars, the COM
pany seems to have the legal right
to operate freight cars In the city.
The question was raised by John J..
Cassidy at the meeting OF the board
several weeks ago. The board, how
ever, has the power to regulate the
kind OF cars which the company oper-
ates and may take steps in THIS di-
rection

EXPERTS RUSH
WORK ON The
ASSESSMENT
Corp Of Sixty Men viii Cover
City in Less Time Than
Expected
MUCH PROGRESS MADE
ON THE FIRST DAY

Great progress in the new assess
ment work being accomplished by the
Board of Assessment. Revision and
Appeals was made yesterday by the
corps of local men who started out
under the supervision of Fred Lloyd
and his assessment experts from New
York.
The members of the board are high
y pleased with the work accomplish
ed by the local men, believing it to be
very good when the fact is taken into
consideration that it is the first day
they have worked upon the assess
meht. From the showing made yes
terday the experts expect them to do
even better after they are familiar
with the work There was orAy one
case yesterday where the men ex-
perienced any trouble, and that was a
small house, and arrangements will
be made to cover IL later. The woman
at this house refused to admit any of
the men until her husband had re-
turned, as she was alone in the house
when the assessor called.
Practically all 9f the Third ward, and
most of the First, with the exception of
a few stores, were completed by the men
yesterday, and a few houses in the Sec
ond ward also were investigated.
Il has been estimated, prior to the
beginning of the work by the local men
yesterday. that each man would be able
to fill out twenty blanks day, but
from the showing made yesterday it is
expected that they will be able to fill
out many more than that among the or
dinary dwellings.
Mr. LLOYD has expressed himself as
being entirely satisfied with the work
done by the corps of local men, and
states that they are all capable and in
telligcnt and that they are doing the
work as we'll as it can be done.
Il is expected that within the next
day on two about q dozen more local
men will be taken on, the board having
applications in hand from many very ca
pahle men. This viii increase the num-
ber of local workers to about sixty.
Today the corps started out to fin
ish what they could not finish yester-
day in the First. Second and Third
wards, and a few of them began work
in the Fourth ward This afternoon
they will begin on the Fifth and to-
morrow Will commepce work in the
Seventh and Twelfth wards. From
the rapid manner in which the work
lis being accomplished it is expected
that the assessment of the entire city
Will be finished much sooner than was
expected.
