made in order that persons desiring to
inform themselves of current quotations
should be able to enter and leave the

other offices. The board on which the
quotations are posted is large enough
to take care of everything that is issued
from the New York Stock Exchange, Of

President w. 70. Slower. OF the
Board OF Assessment, was the first
witness for the city. He described th'
methods OF assessment OF properties

land. and S5,125 for the building. OF
total value OF S7.450. This prop
erty, he said sold for $4,000 in 1914
and that $1,000 had been spent on
improvements since then. He said
that these figures we're based on nor
NAL conditions but that at present
property values we're affected by abb
normal conditions all over the city
making what really are fictitious
