"I have known men who lived a lotfg tlme and knew nothing.** John subsided and took little interest in subsequent proceedings. The new law was ex planed by the commissioner very clearly, and every one seemed to be well pleased with the .manner ih wbicb he treated the subject. It is evident that when the board of review meets next week that some equalizing will be done, and that none of the assessments will be lowered.

They claim that there never was a better building prospect than last spring when the carpenters all went out. It wtis supposed that with the settlement of the labor troubles building would be resumed, and that the piojects of the past would all mature, but ?t seems that those who intended to make improvements got out of the notion, and that all plans fell through. Those who had contracts on band have nearly all completed them, and the chances are that very little more work will be done this year. No per« mits were issued this week,
