The City Dads Hold Meeting Monday Night.  Several Kicks On Assessment Are
Made.   The City Council met Monday night.  Mr. Silvers, the new Councilman
from the 6th Ward took his seat.  He succeeds Mr. Lovelass who moved from the
6th Ward.  Several building permits were granted.  Two to Ralph Longsworth to
build two $6,000 residences.  The Board of Supervisors made their report and
asked to be discharged.  They raised the property valuation $761,591 making
the total assessment $2,850,653, which is the largest assessment the city has
ever had.  The Council passed a resolution thanking the members of the Board
for their work and complimenting them on their efficient service.  A
resolution was passed placing a penalty on city taxes November 1st.  Mr. John
Slessinger made a written complaint of the assessment placed on his stock of
goods by the Board of Supervisors.  Judge Wm. M. Catron appeared before the
Council in behalf of The Fair Store and A. Goldenberg, who also complained of
the assessment made by the Board.  Mr. Goldenberg gave his stock in at
$14,900 and was raised to $40,000.  The Fair Store was raised from $8,000 to
$25,000, and Mr. Slessinger from $10,000 to $18,000.  The Mayor announced
that the Council had no authority to reduce these amounts.  That the action
of the Board of Equalization was final.  Mr. W.H. Ramsey, Secretary of the
Board of Education, made a talk before the Council and stated the Board's
reasons for placing the school levy at $1.50.  Mr. Ramsey stated that the
salaries for teachers alone was $35,000 and that a great deal of repair work
had to be done on the buildings.  He said that it would take every cent of
the levy to properly run the schools this year.  Following Mr. Ramsey's talk
the Council passed an ordinance fixing the rate $1.50 on the hundred dollars.
 An ordinance to pave the Square, Mt. Vernon St. to College and Main St. to
the foot of Wait's Hill was give its first reading.
