The gaa company figure were arrived at after a long, tedloua heating, lading mora than a week, during which futile attempts were made by tha coeaplalnaate to get lsfarmatloa aa t the valuation of -the plant; the water company figures were the result of a coca promlae between the tax committee of the Beal Eatate exchange and the ofllrera of tbe.eompeay la a aecret aeaaloa. laatlng leaa than as hour.

Councilman Lobeck aald: "I believe that those eighteen deputy aesessors are honest men, and that, when they aaid they ap plied the 40 per cent standard to the beet of their ability they told the truth. And. furthermore, I believe they succeeded aa well as any other eighteen men In thla room could have done." Councilman Burkley moved that the city attorney be directed to at once draw up the report for the board la the case of the gss company la legal form and Include in tt the fair cash value of the company s plant, as decided upon by the board, and the atandard aaaessmeat employed by the board la arriving at the figure reported, $775,000. Councilman Haacall presented an a mend - men to the motion, to the effect that the drawing up of the formal report be de ferred until all of the five companies had had a hearing, and that then these facta be aet forth In tbe general and Una) report. Weaater Isterpoeea Plea Attorney John L Webster, representing the street railway company, aaid:' "Mr. Mcintosh la trying to lead this council into aa egregious error. He wants thla council to commit itself to th 40 per cent standard and then ha will make you apply it in tha case of the street railway company. The writ doesn't tell you to da that; you are not compelled to do it. and. la my candid opinion, you have no right to do it." Attorney Mcintosh said: "This council may get Itself Into trouble by following my sdrice, but I know of five public corpora tions which have beea la hot water for. tha laat sixty or ninsty days because they fol lowed the advice of the learned counsel who haa Just addressed you." Councilman Haacall' amendment to Councilman Burkley's motion waa put to a vote and waa carried, five affirmative, four negative. Water Ceaieaay r.w.rswlie. Attorney Hall, repreaeatlng the water company, explained that aa agreement had beea reached between the complainants and the officers of hie company, the effect of whka was that the compaay'e assessment should be raiaed from $575,000 to $S50,090. "I am satisfied." he added, "that by going ahead with this hearing I could very ma terially reduce these figures, but litigation la expensive and troublesome, not only to this board and t the company, but to tha public at large. For tbess reasons I have consented to the compromise." Councilman Haacall announced that the coapromase assessment waa satisfactory to him. Councilman Lobeck aald: "I would like to know bow they get at thla $50,000. I want Mr. Weed sworn and placed on tba stand. Swear every man who was a party to this transaction. Mr. Wead haa said la tha papers thst the asseesment of the gas company ought to be $1,000,000, and. cer tainly, if that la true, the asceasmeat of the water compeay ought te be somewhere Bear that. I should like te have Mr. Mc intosh put on the ataad." Mr. Mcintosh explsined that he waa not a party te the agreement. He thea went oa ta aay: -I don't think Ibis figure. $S50.u.

ZIMMAN AND BURKLEY FOR A MILLION Troatler Coeld Bee Xe Reaaoa for E.iil.g Fig-are of Board of Re vlevr Oitrome the Re. alt f Cosaaroaalee. "If the city council had held an open aession to consider the assessment of the gas company'a property," aald a member of that body yeaterday, "I feel confident that the result would have been different. When we entered the conference room there was a wide divergence of opinion between the members of the body. "Burkley and Zimman stood for an assess ment of $1,000,000. Lobeck and Hoye fixed the aatessed valuation at $800,000. Troatler wanted to make no change, al leging that the (towing made at the hear ing gave no reason to change tbe result reached by tbe Board of Review at its first seasion. Hascall wanted an assessment of about $650,000. this being a raise in the same proportion as that accepted by the telephone and electric light companies. Whitenorn'a figures were between $700,000 and $600,000, nearer the ultimate result than those of any other councllmen. Karr and Mount seemed to favor an assess ment at figures between those submitted by Hascall and WUlteborn. There was quite an actve debate en the question for a while. Whitehorn seemed to favor a higher asseesment rather than a lower one, and tbe result announced was a compromise, which finally received a unanimous vote. The member who stood for a higher aasessment than that returned were fearfully handicapped by the compromise which the tax committee of the Real Estate exchange had agreed to in the telephone and electric light cases. At every point they were confronted with the statement that a compromise would be satisfactory to the complainants and their course la the compromises effected wa cited to prove the contention of the men who wanted to make the aasessment as light aa possible."
