LOCAL ITEMS.

On October 1 Municipal Assessor annual round up of taxable values within the municipality Of Nome. 1t is some job. Mir Grimm docs not take kindly to the notion that the City Council apparently desires should materialize, that is that an assistant assessor be appointed in terms e a resolution already passed the Council. He insists that he is the official assessor and that he will act independently of GuCE an Gs~ sessor to whom the council can give no official standing by any ordi- nance, resolution or fiat whatso- ever Moreover he is quite deter mined that no such appointed assistant will share his office CT Lave access to his books unless hy an order of the Ditrict Court. The fact that he was elected by tic people and not appointed by the council, as city clerk and ey oticic city assessor and municipal magi- atra5e. gives him, he feels no ul- Hcsrtain ground to act upon. It is vel known that the assessed va luations l@at year gave oHenso to some businessmen, but Ar. Grimm points with pride, as an endorse ment of his position, that tvo stores after selling stock all winter and then disrosirr of thefl interest had their goods in voiced to the purchasers at higher sums than that for which they were assessed the preceding fall, showing he seem tc log call! enough claim, that his assessment, 1 were if anything under than ovel the values He almost feels in clined to quote Warren Hastings i By Heavens, I'm aatonished at my own moderation. The general pub lie approved the Grimm assessments by the vote that he was accorded last spring and he feels that tht Council would in appointing an as sistant assessor to interfere witi his work, be superseding that en dorsement which he received at the polls.
