I ALBiNi'aBia b' BIDGE- ThoBiJi racIts Construction yffftnti lhi Afternoon. -Cetween the hours of to'clocK this afternoon the bids the construction of the proposed high steel bridge that is to span the Willamette at Albany this summer will be opened by the mayor and city council iu the council chambers. There is a healthy array of responsible bridge men in the city, who will bid tor the contract, and there are good reasons to believe that the city can secure an advantageous con tract. The present season is a most favorable one for building the bridge, as times are quiet and steel, iron and all bridge material is plentiful the country over, and there is no doubt but that the bridge can be built this year at much lower figures than it could have been last year, or could be one year hence. There will be active competition for the cm- tract, and the city feels certain that ngures for building a bign steel bridge will be offered so reason able that the county will not hesi tate to join in its construction this summer. It will be a permanent and lasting structure, forming a thoroughfare across the Willam ette which will add to the city's trade as well as to the prosperity of the country adjacent. It is a public improvement that has been long needed, and one which the public anxiously hopes to pushed to speedy completion, see Misoionary Tea.

Property ia Placed at Bidienlonsly Low Fignre-Keform Needed. To tub Editor of tiik Ufrald, The citv assessment roll for 1891 ras now completed, and it certainly fleers at least food for reflection, if noiraaterial for some wholesome lessens in political economy. There is no disponing the fact that prop erty in Albany is assessed at ri diculously low figures, to the detriment of both property owners and the city. The amount neces sary to be raised by taxation for city purposes is a known quantity. There is a certain amount to be raised, and property owners would hare to pay no more if a respect able value was placed on their Croperty; the rata would simply e lees. The roll just completed shows that property, in many cases, at least, is put at only a fractional part of its actual value. As a result, the assessment does not give the city proper crtdit or representation abroad makes us seem poor, when we are in reality rich, and makes the rate high enough to scare away capital set-king investment. Take for an in stance the Albany Woolen Mill company. Their assessment is shown to be $8,500. A pertinent question might arise in the minds of the public, what has become of the rest of the 2d,000 that Albany gave as a cash bonus to be put into the mills. This is simply an instance. The Woolen Mill com pany doubtless give in their prop erty as others do, but there is the rub, and it is an abuse that needs correction. Albany needs reform in her assessment. A glance at the following list of taxpayers and the amounts of their assessments, which includes those paying on $4,000 and over, will show many who are in the same situation, while many others are doubtless assessed up at a fair valuation : N H Allen $ 0,640 Albany Farmers Co !,o00 Albany Street R R Co 5,000 Albany Woolen Mill Co 8,500 John R Baltimore 0,160 Bank of Oregon 17,000 L E Blain 21,010 Fred W Blumberg 8,5:2 Ben Brenner 0,000 C E Brownell 4,530 Mrs Heniietta Brown 4,000 Hub Bryant 5.070 Geo E Chamberlain 4,050 Mrs E R Cheadle 6,851 Estate of Wm Craw ford 20,000 John A Crawford 8,300 II LCranor 19,4e5 Geo 8 Coe, trustee 7,400 Geo S Coe. trustee 21,000 J W Cusick ,2lK) BWCundiff 5,250 W S Denham 5,300 oFlinn 11,025 First National Bank 2.3,000 John Fox 8,500 David Froman 10,3(10 Fortmiiler & Irving 5,500 W II Goltra 12,850 Juliua Grailwohl 10,!H)0 J J Graham 5.000 M.
