Lincoln Monument Laws Transfer to State and repairs
Illinois lawmakers approved a bill transferring the Lincoln Monument from the Monument Association to the State. The measure provides funds for repair, a custodian’s salary, and a custodian’s lodge, with the Governor State Treasurer and Superintendent of Public Instruction as trustees. The monument at Oak Ridge Cemetery, begun 1869, commemorates Lincoln with a granite and brick structure, enclosing the crypts of Lincoln and Tad, with Memorial Hall and a high obelisk. Meanwhile a gunfight in Spartanburg, S C left two moonshiners dead and two lawmen wounded.

Tax Discrimination: Who Pays the Taxes Big Property Owners Evade
The News presents figures alleging bias in property assessments in New York City. It cites random 150-property samples showing assessment to value ratios from 18 to 65 percent, with large properties often assessed at minimum and small at maximum. The piece argues taxpayers overpay under state and local systems, misaligning assessments with true market value and hurting broader fiscal equity. It notes a claimed 44.75 percent average of assessed to actual sale value and criticizes officials for injustices across counties, citing a monumental estate with 846 lots assessed at 266,009 in 1894, far below true value. The piece references a City Club inquiry on assessment inequalities and hints at forthcoming reform figures from financial outlets.
