UM1M G HNS SURPRISE IN STORE i p ii .jiiiiMiuui .niiiiLijiun ml fanu'tuy """ lot Thoesbt ttant Increases on Uon Will Entirely Compensate lor Decreases on Down Town Property. Many surprises In the figures for the 1901 assessment of rcol estate lying between Dodge and Leavenworth streets are promised by Tax Commissioner Fleming. For weeks he and a corps of assistants have been revising the assessments of prop erty Included In these boundaries and ex tending from the river to the west city limits. Much has been accomplished, but progress has been slow and painstaking rather than rapid and Indifferent. The work Is of great magnitude and In cludes more than BOO city blocks. General decreased assessments on down town business blocks, which the commis sioners declare are ns a rule rated too high Is Indicated. The lopping off In values will run from t to 23 per cent, It Is said and In certain Instances may even exceed the latter figure. On the other hand residence property to the west and especially In the exclusive res idence portion above Thirteenth street Is so come In for heavy additions to the o.a figures. Chances on Corresponding Cases. The changes will run about the same percentage forward as the decreases down town receed, but will hardly reinforce the Imaginary totals for the territory as the preponderance of value remains In the busU liens district. Not all residence property In this central portion of the city Is to be raised, however, over the approximate assessments 01 nve years ago, which was the last time the territory was gone over with a fine-toothed comb, as at present. As a rule the finer homes and lots will be thrones given In creased burdens. The effort mado by Tax Commissioner Fleming Is In general directed to effecting an equalization of values. All possible In formation Is being secured for each piece of property. One-half day was occupied re cently In assessing three blocks worth ap proximately 1300,M. A taxpayer owning property near Twenty ncventh and Leavenworth streets was under the impression that all values were being Increased and came to the city hall to In quire about It. Inspection of the- books howed that In 1900 the property was as sessed at 110,800. 13(11 at $8,600, 1902 at $7,500, 1903 at 16.500. For next year the figures will be about J3.200. showing a steady decrense. computed on full valuation, for five years. Cannot Harry Work. "The work In revaluing property In the central section of the city Is laborious and will require considerable time," said the tax commissioner. "It cannot be hurried and there have been so many changes In values during the last five years that nearly every assessment Is really a new one. I doubt now whether I will be able to give property south of Leavenworth street minute con sideration this year, 'other than that In the wholesale district and southward as far at possible. . "One thing that I am striving to over come is the tendency to value property by appearances. A resident may have a lot with a beautifully kept lawn and well-cared for trees and shrubs adjoining the land of a nonresident which has been allowed to be come overgrown by weeds. The law ex pressly provides that we shall not tax trees and shrubbery, and for my purpose the property Is all the same whether It Is a veritable garden of Eden or a truck garden patch."
