EQUALIZING VALUES | A Bill for the Assessment of Prop-_ erty Proposed. | | ACTION CF BOARD OF TRADE DIRECTORS | A Permanent Body of Five As-| sessors Recommended. ————— POWER TO REVISE ERRORS coe sean | | | | A largely attended meeting of the board of directors of the Washington board of | trade was held last evening at the rooms | of the board, President B. H. Warner inj the chair. The first and by far the most | important business transacted was the con- | sideration and approval, after a few amend- ments had been adopted, of a bill reported | from the commitiee on taxation and | sessments, the ttle of the bill being “To provide an immediate revision and cquali- zation of real estate values in the District of Columbia; also to provide an assess- ment of real estate in said District, in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-six, and every third year thereafter.” The bill first provided for only three as- sistant assessors, but on the motion of Mr. William A. Wimsatt the number was in- | ington, South Washington and Northwest Wasaington, but all tive to act, of course, collectively. Mr. John Joy Edson thought that the as- sessor of the District should have nothing | to do with the matter of making the assess- ments, belleving that he should merely be hereafter the head of the oliice of assess- | ments, in charge of its records, and that the board of assessors, of which he should uct | be a member, should review alone the work of the assessments. Mr. Edson, therefore, | put his suggestion in the form of a mo- tion recommitting the bill to the commit- tee on taxation and assessments, with in- in that re- Fpect. ‘The Bill as Adopted. Mr. Edson's motion was lost, however, and he thereupon moved that the board of direc- | tors approve the bill as amended, and report unanimously adopted, and the bill as it will “That all ceal property in the District of except as hereinafter provided, hall be assessed in the name of the owner, trustees or guardian of the owner thereof. Ail undivided real property of a deceased person y be sessed in the name of such dece d person until the same is divided, according to law, or has _other- wise other per erty ed into the possession of some on or persons.

Any four of said board of equalization and review shall con- stitute a quorum for business, and in the absence of the assessor a temporary chatr- man may be selected. They shall immedi- ately proceed to equalize the valuations made by the board of assistant assessors, so that each lot and tract and the improve- ments thereon shall be entered upon the tax list at their assessed value in money; and for this purpose they shall hear such com- plaints as may be made in respect of said assessments and in determining them they may raise the valuations of suca tracts or lots as, in their opinion, may have been re- turned below their value and reduce the val- 7. as- | board of assistant assessors |and parts \claring of Massachusetts avenue | the new naval observatory grounds a pub- ‘| lie street, as provided in the joint resolu- | Faweett makes a g uations of such as they may believe to have been returned above their value to such sum > in their opinion, may be the value there- of.

Sec. 11. That annually on or prior to July 1 of each year the board of assistant as- sessors herein provided for shall make a list of all real property which shali have become subject to taxation, and which is not on the tax list, and affix a value there- on, according to the rules prescribed for assessing real estate; and they shall make return of all new structures and additions to or improvements of old structures of over $200 in value, the value of which shall not have been included in the valuation of the land on which such structure shall have been erected, specifying the tract or lot of land on which each of such structures has been erected and the value which has been added to any such lot or tract by reason of such structure, and they shall add such valuation to the assessment made on such tract or lot; and if it shall appear that any error has been made in the assessment of any lot of land, or the improvements there- on, or that after the assessment the im- provements on any lot have become injur- ed or damaged from any cause, the said board of equalization and review may revise | and correct such error and may change or modify any assessment in respect to dam- aged or destroyed improvements or on any lot or tract of land. ec. That if said board of assistant assessors shail learn that any property lia- ble to taxation has been omitted from the assessment for any previous year or years, or has been so assessed that the assess- ment was void, it shall be their duty at once to reassess such property for each and every year after the passage of this act for which it has escaped assessment and taxation, and report the same through | the assessor to the collector of taxes, who shall at once proceed to collect the taxes so in arrears as other taxes are collected: Provided, That no property which has es- caped taxation shall be liable under this section for a period of more than three years prior to such assessment, except in| the case of property involved in Itigation. Sec. 13. That the assessor of the District of Columbia and each member of said in the dis- charge of any of the duties devolved upon | him or them, or the board of equalization and review, may administer all necessary oaths or affirmations. The assessor of the District of Columbia, or in his absence the temporary chairman of said board, shali have power to summon the attendance of any person before said board, to be exam-| ined under oath touching such matters and | things as the board of assistant assessors, or the sald board of equalization and re- view, may deem advisable in the discharge of their duties; metropolitan police force of the District of Columbia may serve subpoenas in this be- half.

The board then approved the proposed de- tion adopted in the House October 14 last, and appropriating $10,000 for the purpose of opening it, and took the sume action in regard to Senate bill No, 871, to author- {ze the entrance into the District of the Norfolk and Western railroad. On the motion of Mr. Edson it was re- solved that the board regrets the failure of the appropriation committee of the House of Representatives to frame a bill sufficiently large for the rent expenses and obligations and the usual annual improvements necessary for the District. ‘The following resolution was also adupt- ed: “Resolved, That it is the opinion cf this board that all the railroads having stations in this city should at on! steps to improve them, and to_ provide proper facilities for the accommodation of the public.” Then, after the president had laid befo the board letters from Gen. Wm. Birne and Prof. E. M. Gallaudet regretting their inability, through the force of other duties, to accept membership in the board, the meeting adjourned. —— AMUSEMENTS. Albauz! ‘The Old Homestead” was the attraction at Albaugh’s last night, and as always, it drew well, though without Denman Thompson as its leading spirit there is a kind of lonesomeness about it which even the very excellent successor he bas can not entirely remedy. The play is the same as it has always been and there is always a freshness and a balsamic odor to those who live in the turmoil and the nar- row confines of the city. Mr. Odell Wiil- ams is the Uncle Joshua of the play nuw, and he does a great deal toward making us forget the other one, and to those who never saw the other one he is Uncle Joshua himself. That is saying a great deal. In stare Miss Henrietta Irving as Aunt Blanche Bayne as Rickety Ann, Prime, The Fred Sanford Wood a s Happy Jack nh Perkins and J. L.

Mis dertrude Kivers is graceful and pretty and Miss Kinniard’s efforts are as effective as they are energetic. A yood house was pre ent and tonight a number of people of im-| portance will grace the proscenium arch. Academy.—It Washington has ever seen a better exhibition of the black art than that given by the wizard, Kellar, at the Academy this week it does not recall the fact. A good audience was in attendance last night, and that it was utterly mystified by the remarkable exhibition goes without saying. In the first part of the perform- ance the usual sieight-of-hand tricks are presented, but with unusual effects, and this is followed by ilusions, spiritualistic manifestations, thought reading or tran, ference and physical impossibilities. of these, called “out of sight,” ts all that the term implies. Mrs. Kellar occupies a chair in full view of the audience, and this is drawn up by wires several feet above the floor. Then without any curtains, con- cealment or other subterfuge, pop goes a pistol and the chair is empty and falls to the floor, Where does the woman go? Another is a game of euchre played by two persons in the audience at a distance from each other, whose hands are called by cards from an empty cabinet on the stage. That is to there is nothing in the cabinet except a@ pack of cards, for it isn't large enough to hold a gvod-sized baby. Mrs. Kellar’s reading blindfolded of the numbers of bilis, mathematical problem working and naming cards are really wonderful ex- hibitions. As fast as she can talk—and a and any member of the) inconsistent herewith | through | legitimate cur- | 1 as Maggie O'Flaherty, Will! One! woman can talk pretty fast—she will read the number of a bill from anybody's pocket in the audience, and she will also let any one set down on a black board, which she cannot see, a number and on the instant give the cube of the number and then tell the number. There is nothing supernatural about it, either, but what is the trick? A most entertaining bill closes with Fly To, in which a pretty East Indian girl is transferred unseen through the air from a cabinet on the stage to one hung ten feet above the floor. Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Gus Hill isa great favorite in Washington and the patrons of vaudeville look upon him as for2- most in the rank of entertainment pro- ducers. Last night Kernan's held a large audience and from the frequent bursts of applause it was evident that the enter- tainment was pleasing. Edward Earle opened the show with a masterpiece of foot jugglery, then came the Highleys, who have pleased two hemispheres; Estelle Wellington, the vivacious chanteuse; Gus Hill, the world famous club swinger, in an act peculiarly his own; Fred Roberts, in character songs; Nelson and Milledge, a roaring comedy skit; George H. Wood, in a new and highly acceptable role, which Kept the audience laughing all the time; Fred. H. Leslie, with his troupe of trained dogs, and McAvoy and May, who need no introduction to the public. A novel enter- tainment in the sha} of a diorama closed the entertainment. Again tonight. Harris’ Bijou Theater.—There was stand- ing room only at the Bijou last night. And flo wonder, for Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Byron, those sterling exponents of melodramatic acting, are filling a week's engagement there and last night presented their highly successful drama, “The Plunger,” because the scenery of the “Heart of Africa” did not arrive. The story of the play, which 1s full of interest, is well told in five acts, with a well-devised plot, not improbable, and readily followed. Mr. Byron made an Nora Glover was a good piece of work. jay was well mounted. Tonight | Blunger™ will be repeated. - Boston Symphony Orchestra.—With each succeeding appearance ‘here, the Boston Symphony Orchestra deepens its hold upon ‘the music-loving community of this city, |and its great popularity was fully demon- strated last night when Metzerott Hall was | crowded to listen to {ts fourth concert this season. The program was an extremely satisfying one and was performed with | that precision and excellence that char- acterizes all the work of this splendid band ‘of musicians. From the opening number, which was three movements of Berlioz’s “Romeo and Juliet’ symphony, to the Watau’s Farewell and Fire Chorus from Wagner's “Walkure the audience listene with intense interest and the applause we | such that It seemed as if Conductor Paur would be compelled to break his rule against encores. But he didn’t. There were but four composers represented in the pro- gram, the two besides those already men- tioned, being Schubert and Rubinstein. The three movements of the symphony given | were the Fete at Capulet’s House, the Love | Scene on the Balcony and the Queen Mab scherzo. Each was interpreted with ex- cellent effect, the descriptive character bi ing given full force. The next number Schubert's song with orchestra, “Die All- |} macht,” in which Mr. Max Heinrich was heard to good advantage, although his sub- sequent singing in the last Wagner num- | ber of “Watau's Farewell” and the “Fire | Chorus” was such as to arouse positive en- | thusiasm. After Schubert came Rubin- exquisite ballet music from ‘Fera- which perhaps pleased the majority it, because it has been (of the audience me r before and was fa- ‘d here frequent lent manner that it imparted a new interest even Wagner's overture to ‘Tannhaeusser, | well known and splendidly given, was re- j ceived with proionged applause, and the | Walkure lections closed a concert that | Was as enjoyable as any that has ever been given here even by the Boston Symphony | Oreck ra. George Grossmith.—This exceedingly tal- ‘ented entertaine will be seen twice in Washington this se: non Tuesday of next | week and Wednesday,the 2Ist.

The | gin at Metzerott’s on 1 | eat University Club Election. The annual meeting of the University Club was held on Saturday evening and was well attended. The reports showed | a marked improvement in the affairs of the | club, A number of minor amendments to the constitution that referred principally to the details of the workings of the club were adopted. The election resulted in the choice of the following officers to serve for the ensuing year: Justice Brown, pres- ident; John Sidney Webb, first vice presi- Gent; Barry Bulkley, second vice pregjdent Wm.
