The district was a hefip of blackened ruins. Into which none except soldiers and police were permitted The (list net can nevi.-r be restored. It will have to he entirely reconstructed.. Adjutant General Barrett today considered the advisability of pitching semi-prmanent tents in the negro district as soon as the wreckage can hecleared up, to serve as homes for th black now herded into convention hall and other buildings and quarters at the baseball park. More than ".000 of these negroes taken prisoners yesterday were still being fed by relief agencies headed by the Red Cross today. During the night and today their numbers continued to increase as little bands or fugitives, learning all danger wa-s past, began to straits buck into the city. Their meals are served at the fair grounds. Information was received from a number of towns near this city today that bands of m;:oes from a score up to 200 in size who had fled from the city durinir the hours of terror were being cared for. These were started b,t, k for Tulsa this morning under assurances there would be tin molestation.

Rowland, during the rioting was spirited away to safety and his place of confinement was still secret today. A comparatively insignificant, insult caused all the bloodshed it has developed. Kowiand does not face any charge but was be-in; held by city folic for investigation on romplalnt ot Mrs. Ira: ah Paige, a white elevator operator, who said Rowland attempted to attack her.

large part of it due to the excellent work of the women aAstssora in adding hundreds of new assessment, to the lists. I am hoping, however, tu see those figures very materially in

creased by the Board of Keview, it they can find some metriod of putting on the tax duplicate the 20 houses built on the east eide o Hammond by the I.' nit id States Housing Corporation. The fact that these lands and improvements are In the name of the 1'. S Housing Corporation and sold on long time contracts should riot deprive Hammond of the taxes on two hundred horuea. "It Is possible, also, that the Hoard of Review will increase the return made on the Inland Steel company, Indiana Harbor. An order to ie-as?-ss this plant ug of date March 1. 1 i -1 . was sent t c me by the state tax board during the recent assessing period. The values of merchandise and machinery have fallen foi per ent in the past year, and while it appeals to me to be u rank injustice to every other taxpayer to allow any one corporation or individual to be re-assessed in a period of drastic deflation land the, values to be fixed as of that period), my opinion carries with it no power or authority tu override the law. The law soould be changed lo proviti,- that any necessary re-ajsessm. ru of properties, should fix the values an of hn date of the original assessment, and not tiie values as f date whin the l easessment is mad'-. Hv.iy taxpayer in the township should be given the benefit of reduced valuation, if any one of our large corporations is granted that privilege. 'The Inland Steel ecctnpany reassessment was turned over to trie c.unty nt the figures submitted by themselves. These were nor ehiinevu for the vny gr.od reason that 1 was r.ot In possession of till tlgllltS Of .Hie Slhle ilgineer sent by the state! tax board to pass on the valuations ef this plant. T.iose tiiiifs are in the hands of the county board and the stte tax board and they should he the figures upon which the final valuations are based by Iht: sUtH board. "Your iJary cotil vmpo rsi r y The Post, would have, it appear that 1 sun responsible for th lec!'.-ises i f valuation of the Inland Steel company, when the real criticism here is that the !-w compels i),e to fix the reassessment valuation as of March 1. 1PH1, i-.--. of March 1. 191?. w hen the original assessment of all real estate was mitfe . Put if this were not the rial trouble, and if I had . rre i in judgment, or hpd done anything hut what the law commands, the P.oard of It-view and the !tate Tax Pourd have full poivtr '.o substitute their judgment, for mine.' A movement was started by the Chamber of Commerce to m -st g r ei and lesrn more of the re -aseess.-nen t of t he Inland yieel company properly n North township. And to satisfy other taxpayers of this city that a fair valuation is minli . a committee was appointed from the chamber yesterday to be present at the session of the lioard f Review when the re-valuation or this property is brought up.
