RAISE IN VALUATIONS IS EXPECTED Yesterday Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald filed with the city clerk the deputies bhe bad appointed to make the city assessment for 1802 follows: Willlam Tracy, Charles Akoffer P. J. Hannigan, Willam Rowley, J. M Fitzgerald, Richard O'Nell, James Krecek F. B. Burness, Peter Cockrell. It will be seen that the ‘ax commissioner manages to get aloag with nine deputies, while the county assessors need twents-four. This assessment of city taxes will com- | mence on May 1 and the commissioner i sllowed by law forty-five 4 complete the work Following the making of the assessment, which will be greatly simplified this year on account of the making out of the fleld books during the winter and spring, the Board of Review will pass upon all com- plaints. This Board of Review is com- posed of the tax commissioner, a member sppointed by the mayor and one by the ety treasurer. In this year's mssessment it 1s expected that with a mew administration the valua- tion will be raised. If this is not done by the tax commissioner the Board of Re- view bas 30 power to make changes in ¢ in which to valustion. Last year the valuation was pot what was expected, even by the cor- porations. but this year there will very likely be a change. Not only the mayor. but members of the mew council seem to favor a bigher valuation and a lower levy. Mayor Favers Retrenchment. Mayor Koutsky is starting in to cut down expenses and proposes to do 8o by abolishing a Dumber of useless offices. In the first place the office of special agent for the legal department pensed with. This office was created with A view to furnishing a place for William Kelly, a brother of the former mayor. Kelly made it & point to show up regularly on pay days, but at other times the city at- torsey was forced to bunmt for him when he wanted anything done. jehing of this office the city will be saved $540 a year. Then there i Mose Howard, city meat inspector. He gets $50 a month for doing nothing and Mayor Koutsky says that he will save the city $600 a year by declar- ing this office vacant. Mayor Enmsor tried to stop the pay of Howard when be was serving his first term, but he failed owing to the fact that certain influences were brought to bear. Those with the influence who have held Howard in his position worked against Mayor Koutsky at the last election, at least it is so reported, and if there is a meat inspector hereafter the mayor will do the appointing. Mayor Koutsky says that he does nmect see the need of a city inspector of meats at this time, as the sanitary inspector can very well attend to any complaints received at | the city building in relation to the meat eold and the condition of the butcher shops. Then there is the building inspector, who is to go. His work will be attended to by | the city engineer., Herman Besl. The mayor figures that he can dispense with the services of the present inspector with- out y detriment to the city’s interests. It is the same with the plumbing inspec- tor. The work performed by these two officials will now be dome by the city en- gineer and a couple of assietants at a great reduction in cost. While going slowly in making changes, be is figuring oo the present income of the city and shows a desire to cut expenses where- ever be can. Increasing Food Prices. “You will bave to take a plece of tough steak today,” said a well known restaurant man to a regular customer yesterday. “This i becsuse the price of meat bas gone so high that we cannot afford to pur- chase the same grade we formerly did."” Now the steak comes on with the elasticity of & horse hide and about as thick. When it comes to & slice of roast beef the portion served at any of the restaurants is-about as thin s &n expert carver can cut it and almost as tough as sole leather. Few vegetables are served at restaurants or the hotels on sccount of the high prices. While 50 far there is DO AgTeement AMODE restau- rant men, they have all with ome accord boosted prices and cut down the amount of food furnished patrons. Coancil Meeting Tonig! The city council is billed for a meeting tonight. In case the recount of the bal- lots in the Mclntire-O'Connor contest is not completed the chances of a meeting are shim. It is expected, however, that the count will be completed sometime today and that the city clerk will be In a posi- tion to issue certificates to either ome or the other of the contestants. In the event of O’Connor’s election the desdlock will be broken, but with Melntire in the situstion will remain the same. Library Beard Paying Rent. The recemtly organized library board is now paying rent in two places. Rooms were recently remted in the Murphy block for the use of the secretary and in order to have & place for holding meetings. So tar no effort has been made to remove the books belonging to the association from the reom on Twenty-fourth street formerly oc- cupied by the postofice and the beard will have to pay $10 & month for this room until the books are moved. The board has about $600 at its disposal mow, but this will doubtless be used up before the 1902 levy is made. It may be that the council will not make & levy for library purposes this year, as the members may want (o see the coler of & building before levying sn ad- ditional tax upen the people. Providing Fire Escapes. It is understood that before the present Board of Education goes out of existence that fire escapes for the Central school will be provided. Bids will be asked for and it is expected that a comtract will be let between now and May 1. The deputy state labor commissioner ordered this work done months ago, but the board pleaded lack of funds. Now that there is over $80 000 in sight from liquer licenses, the fire escapes will be bullt. Drops Dead om Street.
