W. L.

A. P. Tukey fald that he had hoped Tax Commissioner Fleming would accord the relief requested and now that he had failed to do this he believed that the first part of the report should bo adopted Not that wo bellevo that taxes aro too high on real wtate." -aid he. "but that there Is an Inequality between the as sessment of real and personal property there cun bo no doubt. We simply want to emphasize this and have It changed If possible." Mr. Fleming stated that the assessment for 1902 has been made and that practically tho only changes that can now be made must be by the Board of Equalization. Mr. Stories About Roosevelt Seated In the lobby of tbe Arlington last Wednesday afternoon, writes a Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American, was ex-Unltcd States Senator Charles F. Manderson of Omaha. He was In a reminiscent moon, ami wuue au- Ing for the train which was to bear him to Canton Indulged In the following anec- dotes of President Roosevelt: "It was while Roosevelt was governor," said General Manderson, "that I was In Buffalo attending a meeting of the Amerl- can liar association. Among the dlstln- gulshed guests present from abroad was Sir William Kennedy or i.onuon, eminent yell's office, with tho remark that I would woman, but that she was herself in wasii In patent practice In all Its various VBry much like to remain and enjoy the in- lngton, he sent his regards to her and ox- branches, "One night wnne seaten in me paiior of our hotel our attention was attracted by considerable hilarity In an adjoining room. Later on the door opened nnd In walked Roosevelt. He greeted me In his usual breesy fashion, nnd In explanation of his presence in town stated that be had been attending a reunion of his Rough niders. "In the course of his conversation he amused and Interested me and the group of gentlemen seated near us with a vivid and picturesque description 01 nis army llfo In Cuba; of life as ho had observed 11 on mo plains, m. m uu i,8uicu, u. course, bucking oroncnos and cavorting Bteers with heads aloft and tails over tholr backs ln a wild stampede. He also gave Interesting bits of hunting scenes anil wound up with some unique views on such 11. en and things ns had occupied his attention during his brief but strenuous existence, "I took opportunity during a pause In the conversation to Introduco the foreign gontlcmeu present. After Mr. Roosevelt had taken his departuro Sir William broke out with: 'Out I say, senator, that Is a very remarkable man, you know, a vpry remarknblo man. And you say he Is gov ernor of New York? That Is very remark able, you know, I really cawn't say that I over before met exactly such a man. And he seems to be a fighter. 1 rather like that In him. Aud you say he is a writer of high repute, too? Well, by Jove, he Is the queerest combination of a man that I havo uvor met.' "During the present summer, whllo In London, I again met Sir William. Roose velt's Impressive Individuality still domi nated his mind, for after Indulging In some preliminary conversation he remarked: 'By tho way, I see that your friend Roosevelt Is vice president. That Is very astonishing, very astonishing.' "Now that Roosevelt la president 1 pre- Fleming called attention to the fact that; the report of the commlttco called for a re-I ductlon of 10 per cent on all real estate, , whllo the motion of Mr. Tukey referred to a reduction of 10 per cent only on real es tate In the additions, He tald that the re ductions already made by htm would bo about $1,000,000, an amount equal to that demanded by Mr. Tukey. Mr. Tukey said tho real estate men want a horizontal reduction on all real estate and not n mere equalization. President Green favored an assessment at the true value of all property real and personal. Harry Reed was called upon und stated that ho did not believe It good policy to reduce tho assessment on real estate In tbe central portion of tho city. It had been hard work to get these assessments raised hnd they were not too high at this time. J. W. Ijyttle thought that more work should bo put In trying to get nil personal property placed on the lints at a fair valu ation, citing cases where horses hnd been assessed at $1 each by county nssessors. He did not bcllevo thef relief desired would come simply by discussing tho real estate situation, but work must bo done on th personal property schedules. "Oct after the assessors, see what they arc doing and get them to do right," ho said. A. O. Charleton suggested Hint tho pres ent committee should he Instructed to con fer with the mayor In regard to tho ap pointment of the board of review. The motion of Mr. Tukey was ndopted. A motion embodying tho suggestion of Mr. Charloton was ndopted. The supple mental report, that referring to the con solidation of the city nnd county, was made a special order for next Wednesday.
