LEWIS CUTLER v agee E FINISH UP AN ASSESSMENT Oity Council Hears Protests from Those ‘Who Had Been Raised. | CUTS OFF TOTAL OF TWENTY THOUSAND Implement Men Object to Having Val- fons Raised, but Do Not Smeceed In Convineln, he Members the Comnell. The city council has completed its work as a Board of Review. It met yesterday afternoon to comsider protests from in- dividuals and firms whose assessments on personal property had been raised by the board a week ago. The assessment as re- turned by City Assessor Everest was raised by the board about $75,000 and yesterday afternoon it made reductions amounting to about $20,000, leaving about $50,000 of the increase to stand The banks were not represented at the meeting yesterday and their assessments were permitted to stand. It is understood however, that the Council Bluffs Savings bank will take its assessment into court | Alderman Lougee expressed himself in favor of leaving the assessment where the board had placed them a week ago on the grounds that real estate had been assessed enormously high as compared with personal property. Nearly all of the agricultural im- plement firms whose aasessments hag been raised were on hand with protests. They claimed generally that their stocks, which | had been assessed, consisted chiefly of goods in transit. John S. Gretzer, representing the Grand Detour Plow company, in making his pro- tests, sald it was the first time he had ap peared to make a protest and it would be the last. “Our company does not have to stay in Council Bluffs and we can move across the river If we want to,” he said During the discussion of the company’s as- sessment Mr. Gretzer sald: “Alderman Me- Donald knows as well as I do, and In fact, we all know it, that the implement com- panies carry a good deal larger stock than they are assessed on." Mr. Gretzer really meant what he said. Mr. Gretzer replied that he did and this ended the discussion, the board at once de- ciding not to alter the assessment The Aultman-Miller company and the Fuller & Johnson company, whose assess- ments had been placed at $5,000 each, both made protests, but without avall. The Gale Manufacturing company, whose assessment had been raised from $4,000 to $5,000, pro- tested and asked that it be reduced to $2,000. After Mr. Gretzer's admission the board declined to make any reduction. Keys Bros., whose lessment had been raised from $4.800 to $5,000, succeeded fn Inducing the board to reduce it to $7,000. The Union Transfer company, whose assess- ment had been raised from $2,%0 to $4,000, also succeeded in getting the board to place it back at the original figures. The asses ment of Thompson & Sons, which had been fncreased to $2,000 from $1,000, was placed back at the $1,000 mark Reduce Merch se Asses John Beno & Co. protested against their assessment being raised from $55,000 to $60,000 and the board placed it back at the original amount, as it did in the case of Ferdinand Wels, whose assessment had been raised from $1.000 to $4,000. Mr. Weis showed that he had recently placed most of his surplus cash in government bond C. R. Tyler of the Crystal mills, whose as- sessment had been increased from $1,000 to $3,000, explained to the board that he was on the bear side of the wheat market and that he only carried insurance of $2,000 upon his stock which was insured, he said, to the limit and the board reduced his as- sessment to $2,000. J. W. Squire, protested against having his assessment ralsed from $10,000 to $20,000, and explained that owing to the Inability to place loans he had recently invested much of his capital in real estate. The board accepted his explanation and placed his assessment back at $10,000, as made by the assessor. The other changes made br the board were untmportant. TELEPHONES FOR EVERYBODY ta.

Here is a fragmen. of his rhetorical reflections: “The gorillas of the Palals Bourbon have return to their respective savannahs.
