HE time set for putting in the new front in The Leader is near at hand, and in order to avoid all possible inconvenience, we must reduce our stock to the lowest possible notch.

The Leader, JULIUS PIZER, Proprietor. Increased Valuation. Miss Kato Clark, office deputy for County Assessor Bacon, has footed up the real estate assessment roll for tho ' Second ward and finds the total to bo $1,159,710 in actual vnlue. Four years ago the real value of real estate in tho same ward was $626,680. This shows an increaso of $533,140 in the four years. Tho total increaso in the entire city will exceed one million dollars. While part of this increase is due to now buildings and improvements, tho greater part of it is due to tho higher value placed on property by tho asses sors. In looking over tho returns for the Second ward wo And that many in equalities in values exist; and at tho same time values have been in many instances increased from thirty to ono hundred per cent over four yoara ago. In a number of cases tho properties are assessed at a much higher flguro than they could be sold for in tho open market, and it is quite evident that many complaints will bo made to the board of equalization. Will Make Sample Road. J. D. Adams, of Indianapolis, a manufacturer of road making ma chinery, wan in conference with the county commissioners Wednesday oven ing and offered to ship machinery here and make a section of road if tho com missioners would furnish tho necessary teams. Tho proposition was accepted, and Mr. Adams will be hero soma time during tho summer. While the object of this demonstration is to introduce the road making machinery manufac tured by Mr. Adams, yet tho construc tion of a section of road under tho latest approved methods will do doubt provo of considerable value in tho way of an education tn our road makers. Road making in Lincoln county is a cost lyproposition, and if improved methods can bo used, we will have, eventually, better roads at a less cost. Will Enlarge Building. A. F.
