County Board Resumed Its Ses sions Yesterday, Hearing 4 Wilmington Complaints. 0RT0N HOUSE PROPERTY. Assessoeat Increased This Year $11,000. Mr. Ronatree Asked a Redaction. Other Petitions for Relief-The Country Districts To-day. The County Board of Equalization continued its sessions at the Court House at 2:30 o'clock yesterday after noon, taking a recess at 6 o'clock un til 11 A. M. to day, when complaints aa to overvaluations in the country will be heard. All members of the board were again present yesterday afternoon, except Commissioner Holmes, who is out of the city. The hearing of complaints as to Wilming ton township was resumed and a majority of them were disposed of in much the same manner aa during the afternoon previous, very few reduc tions having been made in the figurea placed by the assessors. Many com plaints from Wilmington township will doubtless be lodged to-day, but aa before stated country districts will be given precedence. It is not prob able that the board will complete its sessions before to-morrow, though both morning and afternoon sessions will be held to-day. About. 25 petitions for reductions were submitted yesterday, but only six were in any measure allowed. The decision of the Board at the previous meeting not to allow any reduc tion in the asseasment of The Orton property upon petition of Col. K. M. Murchison, through Mr. M. Cronly, was reconsidered and Mr. George Rountree was heard In behalf of the complainant. Mr. Rountree explained how difficulttit waa to frame equitable tax laws and pointed out wherein a valuation of $59,000 on the property in question waa not in proportion to other assessments. The previous val uation of the property waa $48,000, but the board of assessors took into con sideration. the renting value nnder the lease (o Messrs. R. W. Wallace & Co., which waa stated to be something like $6,000 gross. After hearing Mr. Rountree at aome length upon the question of reduction, the Board of Equalization decided to refer the mat ter back to the Board of Assessors, composed of Capt. Louis Belden, Mr. T. O. Bunting and Mr. M. W. Divine. The latter board met late yesterday afternoon to reconsider its action and will probably make a report to the Equalization Board to-day.

At this reunion an effort -will be made by survivors and veter ans of both the Union and Confeder ate forces to formulate plans to Inter est the government in restoring the Fort with the hope that eventually it will be made a government park.
