Sr. Lous, Juno Id. -The loss of property by the recent tornado foots up a little over S10.UW.000. This is half of
the estimates made by the mure conservative citizens a day or two after the storm. However, Mayor Wal bridge estimated the loss at t-n.iKKi.iHi and President Nagel of the council at that time declared that he believed it would not go over S10.uou.o00. Other guesses more wild. Some placed the loss at F.o,(kh. huo. No one, however, was in u position to make accurate figures, and aa a result President Fredericks of the board of assessors determined to make a thorough canvass of the district in order
to ascertain how much the assessment rolls would suffer by the storm, ami to
make a report to the comptroller a.s to
how much of the assessed taxes might be expected to be collected this vear.
Mr. Fredericks completed his figures of the loss. His staff of assessors and clerks made a thorough canvass of the tornado-stricken district, personally assessed the loss to each building and to each fnmilv. am! tin. li
