Luther James' Assessment Raised

The most important work of the board oí review, last week, was the raising ol some asseasments that heretofore have been notoriously low. Luther James, of this city, who has alwayg claimed Lima as his residence, and has paid taxes on $30,000 or $40,000, was made a resident of Ann Arbor, and his taxable property put at $194,000, as the records show. Reuben Kempf was down for $214,000, but he claimed that $81,000 was in mortgages that had been paid, and not discharged,or where the property had been taken in payment, and deeds given. He claimed further that $75,000 belonged to the banking firm of Kempf Bros., Chelsea. He was asseesed t $120,000. Wm. Wagner was put up tú $60,000. Laat Saturday evecing the Shakespeare club was sumptuously entertained at the home of Miss Luella Bush, of Ann Arbor towcship. The members assembled at 4 p. m., and after two hours of intellectual f'east upon the works of the itnmortal poet, all sat down to an elegant repast. Toaste were responded to by Mesara. Bell, Gale, and Kstzenberger, of the U. of M. The evening was pleasantly spent in rendition of scènes from Shakespeare and dancing. The members reluctantly disbanded for the season and were profuse in their thanks to their hostess for the elegant manner in which they had been entertained. The club terminates the second year of its existence and the success which has attended its meeting has been most satisfactory.
