Some Changes.
On Monday last. Judge Galbreath til
ed his decision on the assessment ap
peals, making thirty - seven changes
among which are the following:—
Alfred Wick. sth ward, reduced from
#15.000 to *9.000.
W. M. Kirkpatrick, sth ward, |33,-
000 to #30,000.
Mrs. Brandon. 4th ward, #21,500 to
#15,000.
Mrs. Reihing, 'id ward, $52,000 to£i"i,-
000.
Standard Plate, Ist ward, #250,000 to
SIOO,OOO.
Sarah McQuistion, 3d ward. $10,700
to #6.000.
Geo Walter's Sons. 3d ward. fit*,ooo
to SII,OOO.
Int Savings & Trust Co., lots in 3d
ward #45.900 to $22,900.
E McJuukiu. sl4 000 to** 500
Mrs. Aland. sl4 000 to $7 500.

Wm. Campbell, $12,500 to #B.OOO
D. B. Campbell. $14500 to st',ooo.
C. Stock. SB,OOO to $5,000.
Bntler Lodge F & A. M., $7,000 to
$4,000
Mrs. Sloan, #8 000 to #4.000.
Mrs Gilkey. #8.485 to sti 200
I'ure Milk Co., $15,000 to $lO 000.
The F W. and Melissa McKee prop
erty in Winfield was not changed, but
the A. G. Morris property was red need
to #7.200: the Dnquesne Co. to $35,000
and Winfield Sand Co. to #B.OOO
Judge Galbreath, in his opinion, calls
attention to the fact that the law re
quires that the assessors must assess the
property at a figure which it would
bring at a bona fide sale, and that there
is a penalty of imprisonment of three
months to a year and a fine of two to
three hundred dollais for failure to do
tbis. The assessors take an oath that
they will thus assess property.
'"lt is somewhat surprising that with
this sworn duty resting upon thenj and
tbis penalty awaiting its breach many
assessors adopt a lower standard of as
sessment than the market value of real
estate, varying from one-third to one
half the market value in many districts,
as shown by the evidence in these cases.
This is not in accord with the sworn
duty of the assessors by whom such as
sessments are made. The duty, and the
penalty for its violation, are both so
clearly stated in the law, that he who
run-> may read Failure in its observ
ance argues either that the cense of dnM
is not strong, or that judgment 's not
good."
