Meridian-street property in this block was just, about as valuable a* that in Illinoi* street.

Across Meridian street, between Maryland and Georgia, the prices ranged from $70 to $30 u lot. After passing

Pennsylvania, street in Maryland, the lots i. -a m were lower In price, and some of the lots j , 9 _ 11(t ^

could scarcely be given away. The northwest corner of Georgia and Delaware streets sold for $13, ant! the lot next to it sold for $14.25. Beyond Delaware street there were no sales until square 80 was reached, where six lots were sold, ranging in price from $60 to *13. This square IsTiow a part of the railroad yards.

Freaeut Appraisement.

The present valuation of the lots in the down-town district of the city, taken from the assessor's books, is not a correct estimate of their worth. The present asttersment is on the appraisement of 1891. In some few instances the ground Is worth three times its assessed value, while the average is not in excess of 75

per cent, of the actual value.

The growth of the qity and the increased value in property has generally continued along the lines on which the original lots w^re sold. The’plan on which the city was laid out gave lots In certain streets a greater value, and, with few exceptions, these values have ateadlly Increased In proportion.

John Carr, who acted as the agent for tbs'State in the early history of the city, thought that in his square mile he had provided for all time to come. No;

Firwt County Official*.

The first board ot county officials was appointed in December, 1S21, but nte county was not organized until the 15th of April, 1822, which was the time designated by the Legislature. The first Board of County Commissioners met on that date, at the residence of .John Carr, and proceeded to organize Marion county. This board was composed of John T. Osborn, William McCarthy and John McCormick. They presented their credentials to each other. John Osborn was cleo’ed president of the board. They examined the credentials of the other county officials, | who hr-d also received their appointments ft cm the Legislature. James M. Ray was the first clerk, Hervey Bates t^nfirst sheriff and I. C. Reese the first recorder. The board then appointed 'S. M. Ray county assessor and Dan Yandes county treasur-.r. After making these appointments the board proceeded to organize the county into townships and to name them. One of the early acts of the commissioners i was to establish a scale of price* over ‘ the White , river ferry, as follows: One wagon, with four horses or oxen, bJbj cents; one wagon, with two horses or oxen, 3714! cents; one small wagon and one horse, 31 cents; extra horses, each, 12V4 cents; man or woman and horse. ients; man or woman on foot, 6)4 cents; cattle, each 12 cents; hogs or sheep, eacn,
