BOAT FIRE DRILL
CAUSES A SCARE
Spectators See Grew of Steam

neuvers and Start Rumors.

Numerous calls were received at the
Streckfus steamboat Office at the foot
of Nineteenth street this morning ask
iEg if the steamer Quincy had burned.
The rumor that the boat had burned to
the waters edge spread like wildfiro
through the city last evening and this
morning.
The steamer Quincy left here at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon for Bur

through a fire drill as the boat was
passing Kahlke's boat yard in the west
end of the city, and several spectators
witnessed the drill from shore. evil

on fire. The crews of all steamers on
the river are required to go through
fire drill at stated intervals. under
provisions n the navigation laws. All
of the fire fighting apparatus on the
boats is put into operation during
these drills. which appear realistic.

It is. nevertheless. voluntary statement by the appellee of the manner In which its property might be properly assessed.
 "The most important question raised upon the record is as to the validity of the action of the Board of Supervisors sitting as the Board of Equalization in raising the assess ment upon eight of the group of sixty five claims originally assessed en masse in amounts varying from 350.- O00.O0 to s1.Oo0, ,oooo0 each.
 Paragraph 265i of the Revised Statutes of 1887 provides:
 "f The Board of Equaliza- ton shall have power to determine whether the assessed value of any property is too small or too great. and may change and correct any valua. tion. either by adding thereto or de. fucting therefrom if the sun fixed in the assessment roll be too small or great, whether said sum was fixed by the owner or tho assessor: and the clerk of the Board of Equali. | ration shall note upon the assess yment roll all changes made by the board. During the session of the Board of Equalization the assessor shall be present, and also any depu ty whose testimony may be required lby the parties appealing to the board | and they shall have the right to make any statement touching such assessment. and producing evidence lrelaung to questions before the board make use of all other information that they can gain otherwise, in equalizinp the assessment roll of the county, and may require the assessor to enter upon such assessment roll any other property which has not been as sessed; and the assessment and equal ization SO made shall have the same force and effect as if made by the assessor before the delivery of the assessment roll to (by) him by Uo) the clerk of the Board of Equaliza | tion.s ["

 "Disregarding for the present a variation in the names of the sixty five claims. the delinquent tax roll the back tax book and the back tax bill substantially conform to the du plicate assessment roll, except as tc certain entries of payments, penalties and interest
