Eefnrns to Ee Sent to City Eall as Fast as They iro Brought in. IT BREAES UP MANX OF THE BOIT SNAPS Chief City Assessor Frank Case had a conference with the County Commissioners jestcrday to make arrangements for the quick delivery of the county assessment books as they are returned hy the county assessors. The iattcr are allowed pay for the number of days they are employed, and it has freqnently'been "charged that many of them hold hack their reporgt, workiii only two or three hours a day on the assess ment, in order to net in as" manr das as j-ossiblc. Every vcar there is more or less complaint from "the Commissioners because tome of the county assessors report from 30 to OO days spent in taking the assessment of their districts, when the work could easily iiave been done in half the time if the as-tc-ors had worked full day. This delay of county assessors in making their returns is a preat drawback to the jsoarn 01 Aeors in tne cities, because the law compels them to report to Councils at the tirvt meeting in "January each year the avessable valuation of "the property within the city limits so that the tax rat'e can be fied lortheappropristion ordinance, if the county assessors hold back their re turns until .January 1 or later, a is fre quently the cave, the Board of Assessors are compelled to make their report largely from their own figures. The Board always pre pares its own assessment and has' it now practically ready, but it will not be ready for making public until the countv books are in.a comparison made and the differences existing between the two adjusted. In order that the board w ill hai e all the !me possible to make this comparison the Commissioners hae agreed to let them have the county assessors' books as rapidly as they are returned. Some of the energetic rtecssors are eipected to make their returns during the neit week, and thenceforward until the reports are'all in they will be sent down to the city assessors. New Equipment for the Fair. President Fish, cf the Illinois Central read, was a passenger for New York through Pittsburg yesterday. He claims his road will be able to handle 20,000 passengers per hour between the city and the Fair ground. They were asked to add 00 new cars and 50 engines to their outfit, but he said he couldn'tuse the rolling stock for years after mw u..uafcstwu ISUItl. J.UK1 JL CUUS V A V AUlU. CONVICrS TO BE EETUaNED. The Govrrnor or Tennessee Declare That Th-y Must TVork the Mines. Nashville, Texx., Xov. SO. "The convicts shall be returned to the mines if it takes every able-bodied man in the State to do it," said Governor Buchanan last night. Although the Governor was reticent, from other sources information was gathered con cerning the matter. The lessees have made a demand upon the State for the convicts.. This demand was answered promptly that when the convicts had been captured they, would be returned, if supplied with suf ficient guard and proper quarters. The proper quarters will be built at once. This will take about two weeks. The question of the guard required not a little consideration. It comes pretty straight that the present intention is to pro vide about B0 men each for Briceville and Coal Creek and 100 men for Oliver Springs. All these will be in the pay of the lessees. Twenty-five at each place, it is thought, will be militiamen deputized to do guard duty. In regard to this last feature Governor Buchanan wired General S. T. Carnes, of Memphis, Brigadier General of the Tennes see militia, to come to Nashville. The two nerein consultation all the forenoon. A veil of secrecy was thrown around the re sult reached, but it may be taken as reli able that the plans given above were not changed. The guard will not be from the existing companies of the State. The men will enlist for the purpose. About 300 of the 452 released convicts have been recaptured. JUtTOSEBIEXTb. A7 Ojsnuso rN&me TO-SIGHT, ROBERT IHAJCTJBIvi,, IS THE CO&SICAK BROTHERS.
