Owing to the difficulty of obtaining satisfactory information as to pork, we have post- poned the appraisement till our next assessment. Mr. William B. Harrison was again invited to act as third commis- sioner ; and it is proper to add that the schedules of appraisement re- ceived the unanimous approval of the commissioners. The following schedules present the maximum prices to be paid for the articles appraised at all cities and usual places of sale, and when im- pressed elsewhere, the same prices are to be paid elsewhere, less the cost of transportation to the city, or usual place of sale to which the article would go ordinarily for sale from that neighborhood, or less the cost of transportation to the point at which the gc\ eminent needs the article, and wishes it to be sent: provided, that in no case the amount deducted for transportation as above, shall exceed 25 cents per bushel for graiu, and 25 cents per cwt. for long torage, flour, bacon, iron, &c.
