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

Beal Eatate exchange and the ofllrera of

The board, after being In executive aea
loa aa hour and a half Thuraday, re

When, at 10 yeaterday morning the

of cases of the large manufacturing and
mercantile establishments of the city the
standard employed was not 20 per cent of
the fair cash Tslue."
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.

water company s property la ia its pamp

K STAR CHAMBER SESSION
How Memben of Council Stood on Gj

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."
