The members of the Board of County Commissioner ar anticipating an Intereat lng session when they convene as a board of equalisation next Tueaday, for they have about made up their mlnda that th assess ment of the franchla corporation and other big business concern will have to b elevated to meet th demand of a pub lie clamoring for equal taxation. The book of th various ward and erectnet as sessor will be turned In next Mondsy and Tuesday and there 1. no reason to expect ,tB-, wlU com any nearer to doing ttlr duty this year than they hav in past year.

In tbla way wa will be able to in crease the county asaeasment by over $1,. 000,000 on the water, gaa, atreet railway, electric light and telephone companies alone." Bow It Flswres Oat. The persons! property of the atreet rail way company ana assessed by tbe city at $1,300,000, which on a 40 per rent basis would make tbe actual value of the prop erty In the city $3,250,000. Tax Commie loner Fleming ssys thst at least 10 per cent of this total should be added to rep. resent the value of the company's prop erty outside the city end within the county, making a total of $3,575,000 as a basis for the county assessment. One-sixth of $$. 675.000 la $595 633. while tbe county as sessment against the street railway corn pat. laat year waa only $114,510.- lu the case of the gaa company Tax Commlsaloaer Fleming says that, consider ing tbe evidence gives by th ga company officials themselves at the recent hearing. It would be fslr to add $350,000 to represent the value of that concern's property out side of th city and within th county. A to the water company the tax commis sioner say ther Is evidence on record to warrant adding 60 per cent to the city's valuation or that property to represent the company's Interest la Florence, South Omaha and ether part of th county. Ha think 10 per cent ought to be added to the telephone company city asaeasment and perhaps nothing to that of the electric light company in making up the county as sessmsat. Table Telia the Story.

DRAIN SPOUTS CLOG DURING DOWNPOUR Stockroom on Top Floor Twraod Into Lake by Water Which Galaa Admlssloa Through the Roof. Fully $25,000 damage from water was sus tained st Haydec Bros.' stors during tbe fierce rsln of Thursdsy night. Loose pieces or board which had been left on the flat root were washed by the flood into tbe es capes to tbe mater spouts, which were thus quickly clogged. Having no other mean, of exit the wa'.er beat back under tbe roof from the eecapes st tbe edges, going in be tween tbe roof scd tbe celling next it. an I it soon broke through the plastering, flood ing the top floor Inches deep. The top floor is tbe stock room and the trouble occurred directly over thst portion fronting oa Sixteenth street gives over to shoes and uotions and furnishing. Damage aggregating easily $15,000 was done here, a immense new stock had Juat been re ceived and almost everything was wet down, cardboard boxes being soaked to a pulp. Below the stock, room on the third floor la tbe carpet and drapery department, and here, too, great damage was done. AH the fin oriental stuffs and roll after roll of carpeting was wetted. There the water atopped. not getting through the second floor. Th trouble was discovered aooa after tbe pelting rain began 1st in th after noon, and at 6; 45 fifty men were working frantically to check tb damage. Thirty huge tub and fifty 'bucketa and scoop hovel were hurried to the stock room, where the water was scooped from tbe floor and thrown from the windows by tub fuls. Meanwhile other men were cover ing the sucks of goods with oilcloth sheets, and when meat of the water had been taken from tb floor the rest was sopped up with mops and sponges. When this work wss done the force was reduced, but Ave men worked all night at the task. Friday morning a score or so of employee was at work segregating the soaked goods. Tards and yaros of lacea, ribbona and scores of boxes of handker chiefs and underwear, besides art goods snd toilet srtlcles and other thinga innu merable were In the Hat. Tbe roof Itself did not leak, aa it was fully repaired two months' sgo. and th roofers assert that at the time they re moved every piece of aocd and foreign matter up there, ao tbey are not to blame. Proprietors of tbe store, therefore, think that airing crews of some of the vsrlous electric connection concerns left their sswed ends lying around on the gravel, and a damage auit may result, if the fault can be placed. Representatives of th Nebraska Tele phone company visited the place yester day and abowed tneat they had no wire airoaa that part of th roof, and o would never have cause to put workmen ther.
