pany, made by a contemporary, ts so terribly inso
ouratethat we a'e induced to publish it again as
follows:
NEW ORLEANS, August 29, 1877.
Hon. . J . Renostorf Administrator of Asess-.
ments, and James Jackson, Esq., President
New Orleans Gas Works:
After very careful and patient investigation of
the subject at issue between you relative to the
assessment of real estate and capital involved, we
came to the concluseion that reductions should be
made as follows, vie:
On square No. 401, asseessed at 8900,000, re
duotion, $75,000.
On square No. 407, assessed at $800,000, re
duction, 8100,000.
On square No. 872, assessed at $100,000, re
duotion, $20,000.
On ofi e and building occupied, easessed at
$70 000, reduction, $10,000.
This leaves all the rest of the real Iestate as
agreed upon between you, ad whole did not
some unmer our consideration.
Regarding capital, we thit* $1,800,000 a fair
estimate.
We cannot without elaborate and tedious ex
planations clearly convey reasons that have in
duced us to arrive at our concluelons, but would
briely state among them are our estimate of the
valuable franchises possessed by the Gas Com
nay on the one side and on the other the vast
a llg off in the consumption of ga consequent
on decreased prosperity of the community, the
deterioration of value in much of their property,
end greatly reduced cost of materials largely
used by them in construction, etc.
We cannot close without stating that to the
courtesy of the officers of the (as Oomprany,
and valuable aid extended to us by Mr. W. A.
Freret, our labors have been greatly lightened.
Yours, very respecetfully,
LIONEL O. LEVY.

Thus, it will be seen that whilst the arbitrators
have reduced the assessments on such real estate
of the company as was referred to them for val
nation, they have maintained the estimate puton
the capital of the company by the Board of As
sessors. It will be remembered that the com.
pany asked for a reduction on their capital to
$1,000,000. In the aggregate the Gas Company's
property is assessed at something over $200,000
more than it was last year.
TEE FRANKLIN TEMPERANOE HALL
Assoolation, whose building Is .stuated at the
corner of Spain and Rampart streets, having ap
plied for a reduction of their assesement from
$8000 to $5000, on the ground that the building
was partly used as a Sunday school, the matter
was referred to arbitrators. They belang unable to
agree, called in an umpire, who decided the
property to be worth 87000.
Actual calculations made at the Olty Hail
shows, It is said, that in al.ouses where arbitra
tlon was resorted to the assessments of the
board have been reduced,
ON THE AVEBAGE,
only six or seven per cent.
The Mayor has not yet signed the navigation
bridge ordinance. It was currently reported at
the Oity Hall that Administrator MoCaffrey
had applied for a writ of injunction against
the Mayor enjoining him from signing
the ordinance, and that the injunction was
actually in the hands of a deputy sheriff. Up to
the time we went to press, it had not, however,
been served on his honor. There are many ru
m·or afloat regarding this injunction, which, it is
said, will provoke lively times in Oity Hall circles
if it is Issued.
APTER THE BROERSe.
The several brokers who offered bide for the
8.00,000 premium bonds, advertised for by the
city a few days ago, are short over 8100,000. The
reason being, it is believed, that they cannot
tover all their bids, owing to a rise in the market.
It Is smid that mayhape they thought that the
city would only take one-half or one.quarter of
the sum, and hence they played bold and now
that they find that the bonds have gone up on
the
STRENOTH OF THEtR VENTUmL,
they are hiding their heads. If it turns out that
they don't come up to the soratoh fhirly, like men,
hereafter all bide of this kind may have to be so
-ompanied by a deposit of ready oash as a pledge
of their earnestness.

The Log Male.
The order to sell the Caloasieu loge will proba
bly be executed on the 25th, when the marshal
will put them up in lots according to the inven
tory. It is not by any means certain, however,
that the sale will be a success, for intimations
have been thrown out that the swampy airs of
Lake Charles are not particularly healthytfor pur
chasers, and shot guns sometimes go off of their
own accord.
Whether this means something or not we can't
say, but it may deter many who would otherwise
bid from attending. Marshal Wharton does not
think this talk is really in earnest, and he is sat
isfied the sale will go on. It Is generally thought
the logs will not bring more than 45 or 50 cents,
although they were appraised at $2.

THE BROOK RICE HILL.
Yesterday, at the invitation of its genial pro
prietor, we were passed over the floors of the
rice mill of Mr. Columbus H. Allen, situated or
Tohoupitoulas street, near Lafayette street. It
was established in 1873, and is called the Brook
Mill after a valued friend, and not, as might be
thought, in token of a latent love of purling
waters and of rural associations. Among the
young men who came in at the folding of the
vulture's wing over the Mouth. Mr. Allen's name
is e'onspieuous. He is a native Louisianian and
a soldier. On the memorable 14th of 8eptember
he was on duty as Captain of the Allen Guards,
and on the 9th of January in command as Col
onel of the First Jefferson Battalion: and
throughout the initial troubles of our era he
has taken an active part in the performance of
public duty.
By dint of skill, industry and energy, and
more than these-success, Mr. Allen Will com
mand prominence. The breaking up of the
flow of commercial and industrial disasters
has set in, and the prospect has dawned of a
bright future, of which he is a part. The na
tional eagle seems to have taken full possession
of his eyrie; everywhere are indications that
the old bird means to run the country straight
forward in the interests of prosperity and pro
gress, as well as patriotism and peace-this en
passant.
The Brook Mill is an institution; about 2.o
barrels of clean rice are the daily product of the
mill-the yield of about 5se sacks, received, In
hull. A beautiful engine, clean and cylindered
to a charm, is, perhaps,. the most attractive of
the specific objects in view. The tumult of the
many driving processes, all simultaneously in
progress: the vast variety of machinery, all
pushing as if in a desperate race with time; the
rushing tide of rice, poured through conveyors
and elevators from floorto floor, and back again
to new and more advanced receivers, we founa
an entertainment vastly pleasant and instruct
ive: and without much cost of time or space we
may take our readers through.
The sacks are emptied into the hopper, which
is an improvement of Mr. Allen. It cleans the
hull or beard by a rapid circular movement of
cylindrical wings located in its centre, and does
the first staging to the rough. Thonce by an
elevator it is whipped to the third floor and
passed into the rough rice screen. Here the
agitation is intense-straws and unclean refuse
are cast out. The smaller grains of the staple
pass on unhulled, while the rest is taken up by
a conveyor and carried to a machine called the
stone. Its process breaks away the fibre of the
hull, and another elevator then carries it to an
upper floor for fanning. It comes back to the
shakers, of which there are two, the name de
noting their purpose; and thence is distributed
among the pounders, twelve in number. These
initiate the bran formation; afterward a con
veyor carries grain and bran, all mixed, to the
bran box; thence up again by an elevator to
the bran screen, At this stage the clean rice is
cast on the floor for cooling, while the bran goes
down through acylinder and is sacked. Again
-the clean rice is taken up and goes to the brush,
which polishes the grain; thence to the clean
rice screens of which there are Nos. 1 and 2, dif
ferent in size. It is here barreled, These rapid
and tumultuous processes, from hopper to
barrel, occupy twenty-four hours; and as Mr.
Allen is always on time and keeps abreast of
the most urgent haste of planter or merchant,
no one has long to await his crop in choice new
barrels, ready for any market, near or remote.
We desire only to give our readers a general
idea of the measures and means incident to
rice cleaning, and some impression of an es
tablishment of the first order. conducted, under
the strictest business regulations.with efficiency
and success; aliunde, the extreme accuracy of
these descriptions is not insisted upon.
The intelligent reader, whether of inventive
acumen or not, will hardly doubt that the genius
of invention will speedily work out other and
improved forms in the mill problem; that Im
provement in machinery which shall reduce
the number of stages in the march to finality,
so that elevators and conveyors may be less in
request, and the processes culminate under
simpler and even more rapid, forms is a mat
ter only of time: while it may be incontinently
assumed that the young, capaple and energetic
proprietor of the Brook Mill will keep in the
van of progress.
Tl'he rice industry is rapidly advancing from
year to year in Louisiana. and the quality of
the staple gradually improves. The grain, now,
for richness and fullness is unsurpassed by any
in the world; while fields of finer perfection
await its future. Whatever other industrial
forms capital may take when it comes to flow in
perennial tides to Southern centres, as it will,
the enlarged and perfected culture of this
favorite staple wilt find attention. Let only the
,ide of circumstance flow on.

that those of our merchants who are aware that

only stationers in New Orleans possessing a
lithographic establishment see the advantage
of giving this firm their orders for all kinds of
lithographed work in preference to giving thenm
to others who are obliged to have the work done
by some one else thereby entailing a double
profit. No house in the South, and very few in
the United States, combine printing office,
blank book factory and lithographic oflfce in

and the numerous customers of this house,
among whom are numbered our Cotton Ex

doing business with a firm whose thorough
