THE BILLIKENs REPORT.

The Billiken Club wishes to thank
the many patrons who assisted them
on February %, 1915 in making their
Martha Washington party a success.
We also wish to make a report to the
public and to the Board of Old Folks
and Orphans Home as they seem to
be misinformed by various reports
concerning the funds made. 1t Was
decided by the majority of the club
members that the money was to be
used for the inmates and not for out
standing debts. Owing to this fact
the Secretary of the home and also
being a member of the Billikens re-
signed from our club on account of
not receiving the entire proceeds.
The report is as follows:
Two dressing sacks. ks...........$ so
Three sacks of tobacco. ... 10

3 pairs Of stockings. ........ so
House shoes. .....,............ 1.19

each inmate asked for. We can clear
ly and truthfully say that the pro-
ceeds were not misappropriated by
anyone.

ment, Revision and Appeals, who are
sitting daily at City Hall TO hear ap-
peals from the city assessment, re-
ported that only about sixty property
owners so far have appealed.
While it could not be officially con-

be reduced from $1.35 to S1.30. a re-
duction of five cents. which in a large
percentage OF the cases will reduce
the actual amount of taxes paid be-
low what they were required TO pay
before the new assessment system
went into effect.
OF the appeals received, only about
five per cent we're of such reason
able nature to warrant the board in
making slight reductions in the as
scssment figures. none OF which cX-
ceoded few hundred dollars, while
most were below 500.
