Spencer Starts
Rebuilding City
Hot Embers and Hot Sun Make
2 Work Difficult-New
Work Planned

Small outbreaks of fire in the
debris Of what was once Spencer's
business district halted attempts that
are being made for the rebuilding of
the city. Water was turned on blaz-
es numerous times during the day.
The intense heat from the sun and
the dying embers of the fire prevent
ed workmen from doing much to
clear away the litter.
Coal piles owned by the Schoene-
man and Floete Lumber companies
are still smouldering and it was ex-
pected that many days would elapse
before they would burn out.
: Business is being re-established in
spite of the lack of facilities. The
Clay County National Bank was NOV
ed into the Old First National bank
building.
Officials of holding company
which owned the McAllister block
said Monday that plans for rebuild
ing are being drawn and that re-
construction will be started as soon
as possible.
Officials of the Finkelstein Thea
tiers Company stated that the COM
pany would build two new theaters
to replace those destroyed by fire.

Property Value for
City Shows Increase
Personal Property Decrease Off
set by Increase in Real
Estate

According to the annual personal
tax assessment recently completed
by D. w. Gold, city assessor, the per-
sonal property of the city has a value
of 1921 ,922.O0 or $9,S59.00 less than
that of 1880. The true valuation OF
the personal property OF Redwood
Falls is $916,256.00.
The decrease in personal property
assessments is offset, however, by a
substantial addition of real estate
assessments, there being an increase
of $14,O27 in assessed valuation. The
real estate assessment is made only
during even numbered years so this
assessment included only additions.
The decrease in personal property
possessed in the city at the present
time is attributed to reduced stocks
and to the loss of the Palace store by
fire last winter. This decrease IN
personal property, however, is bal.
anced somewhat by the assessment OF
considerable road building machinery
belonging to Nolan Brothers which
was located here May 1.
The City council Of Redwood Falls
met Monday, Thursday and Friday
last week to function as the equaliza-
ton board for the city and the rec
ords have now been turned over to
the county board.

The worth of a Chamber of Com merce to a city or community was never more better demonstrated than at yesterdays regular weekly business meeting and luncheon of the Seward organization during which time many major items of local and district importance came up for discussion or action.

 The meeting, held at noon in the Electric Bakery, reflected a spirit of cooperation and progress which undoubtedly will successfully reach all objectives.
 Among the speakers was L. Mc- Gee who, with Pilot Barnhill, ex- pressed appreciation for the local efforts and assistance rendered in obtaining a hangar for the Seward airport and that MT. Barnhill is ROW enroute to the States for sec- ond plane which also be based here.
