When the property was first placed on sale too high a valua tion was placed upon it by the own ers, and it lay dormant or nearly a year. Adopting a more liberal policy regarding the prices and frontage the agents have found a steady demand and several stores have been erected along Cottage Grove avenue, among them being an attractive bank build ing. The tract comprises eighty acres, be tween Cottage Grove and South Park avenue on the east and west, and Sixty First and Sixty-Third streets on the north and south, and the prices range from $40 a foot up. The agents hand ling the Washington park property also control a large subdivision between Drexel and Ellis avenues and Sixty Second and Sixty-Third streets, and re port an active demand. Property Is be ing Improved for apartment buildings of the best grade. Harrv Weymouth has sold to A. R.

FIRE ON 92ND STREET Fire caused by a lighted match fall ing onto kerosene spilled on the floor, last night caused a fire in the home of Alfred Podulka, Ninety-second street and Erie avenue. Owing to the prompt arrival of the fire department the dam age was nominal. The building is two-story flat owned by Charles Moy- nlhan- The department was also called out to the neighborhood of Eighty-ninth street and Superior avenue last night, where a Are had broken out. "The assessors are wrong In their figures," declared Reviewer Fred W. Upham. "The tax as it now stands Is an increase of $552,000 over last years aEsesament." In making the cut, Mr. Upham ex- I plained, the board of review had In mind that the city, as a co-partner with the railway company under the corpora tion's franchise, would have to meet 55 per cent of the assessment. He also declared that arriving at the figures the board of assessors had included In the personal property list much real estate which already had been taxed or which will be taxed separately. He showed that the following in creases were maae oy mo asuejsura m figures submitted in the Arnold report. SlajU of Eight Million Dollars. Property belonging to company In t6wn of Lake Increased from $1,800,000 to $3,000,000. Property In town of South Chicago increased from $6,000,000 to $12,000,000. Property in town of Hyde Park In- cerased from $2,000,000 $4,000,000. The railway company wrote the board asking that the following items be deducted from the assessor's figures: Franchise $3,754,363 Lands, buildings, etc 4,317,530 Legal, office and operating expenses 1,525,650 These Items accordingly were do- ducted from the $19,000,000 assessment, and the reviewers then added $814,919, mukine their total $10,402,466. "There can be no possible mistake about the accuracy of the assessors' figures," said Mr. Weber. "It Is true the assessment levied by us was con siderably higher than last year's tax. Since then, however, the railway com pany has acquired thousands of dol lars' worth of rolling stock and other equipment, and it also has received its franchise." GXNZRAL P. CHAW& IF TOTJ DOJCT TAKE TEX TtME tvurt The famous Solomon, the man who Implicated the police and the city offi cials in his charges of graft and ex tortion Is now bound In a web of law suits, civil and criminal, which it will take months to complete. Solomon was busy the entire aay yesterday prosecuting Dochan Pushcar for buying bill of goods which he claimed the boarding housekeeper bought at Solo mon's store under false pretenses. Up until last night the case had not been decided, but upon its completion Solo mon was to have been arrested by an officer on a warrant sworn out by Pushcar, charging Solomon with larceny. I.anta Whole Day. The case yesterday consumed nearly an entire day because of the fact that Solomon was so hard to examine on the stand. As in all previous cases he has been reluctant to answer ques tions put to him by the attorney, which dragged the caso out until it became tiresome to every one connected with It. Solomon claimed yesterday that Pushcar had bought a bill of goods from his store, and secured credit, claiming that he was the owner of the house in which he lived. Pushcar has rot paid his bills since and Solomon says he has been unable to collect it. Pushcar claims, however, that after he received the groceries, his- place was raided by Solomon, his food taken from his shelves, including articles he had not purchased from Solomon, and that the latter Is guilty of larceny. Attorney Franklin J. Fetterer repre sents Pushcar, while N. A. Beck appears for Solomon.

Daniel was ar rested in Gary last night on a charge of public Intoxication and, following the usual course of Gary legislation, was given a thorough searching for concealed weapons. None were found, however, and away down in the lining of Daniel's coat Sergeant Dowllng dis covered a neat little package of salt. If properly applied, salt is believed to be a symbol of good fortune but Dan iel's salt had become pillared and he was literally up against it. He protest ed so vigorously when the seasoning article was taken away from him that Sergeant Dowllng told him he might keep It, and Daniel returned to his cell as light of heart as though attending a fashionable dinner party.
