 BOARD HAVING
 LONG SESSION
Many Property Holders Ap- pear and Complain That ' They Are Assessed
 Beyond Values.

DOUGLAS, July 25.-The Douglas City Council sitting as a Board of Equalization last night, were not to be envied Numerous citizens ap- peared before the board and in no gentle terms told the Council what they thought of the assessor, the present valuation of Douglas property and everything from the past to the future outlook of this community.
 Gus. Grundler was one of the first to be heard, stating that his property was greatly over assessed, but in the end came to find out that the assessment stands just as he turned 1t in to the assessor, departing with a smile and stating that the cigars were on him.
 J. NJ: Saloum, and the assessor didn't come to such an amicable agreement, however, and by the time the valuation of his property was threshed out, no definite con. clusion could be arrived at and the matter will again have to come up.
 Tom Cox stated that he was as sessed for a lot which he claims is on patented ground and that all he owns is cabin. but the recent town site survey shows that 1ir. Cox is

 D. J. Kinzie, employment agent for the Treadwell Company, appear ed in behalf of the Douglas St. Ann Hospital, the annex of which has been assessed this year at $15,000 It was pointed out that the hospital management objects to paying a tax owing to it being connected with a charitable and beneficial institution
 While there are few who contend that all church property and hospit- als should be exempt from taxation had not the annex of this institution been taxed this year, many Would have complained that favoritism and discrimination were being shown, for ever since the annex has been opened or at least during the past year, it has entered into commercialized com petition with boarding houses, hotels and restaurants without paying the tax that others in this line of busi- ness are compelled to do.
 During the time the hospital annex was boarding and rooming tenants. so many complaints came to mem bers of the Council relative to them being actively engaged in competition with others who were forced to pay a license, the city could not do oth- erwise than assess the property at just valuation. The matter was held over, however, until a decision can be rendered by Judge Jennings.
 Owing to all the reports of the assessor not being on hand and sev- era1 of the Councilmen being late at the meeting, but little was accom- plished the first evening and .it is quite probable that the Board of Equalization will have to sit more than the three advertised evenings in order to clear the "mist of valua- tiOns." f'
