of real-estate for taxation in and by the City of
Seattle for the year 1887; and to the end that all
assessments be made equal an uniform and in as-
cordance with the value upon said assessment
roll a reduction of the valuation of the real estate
of each individual assessed thereon, and on each
percel thereof assessed upon said roll, so as to con-
form the said several assessments to said standard
so above fixed on the said property of Henry L Yesler,

a sum equal to ten per cent addition to the valu-
ation of like property for the year 1886 will make
such assessments conform to such standard, it is
ordered that such assessments be so reduced accord-
ingly: And in the event that the valuation of the
property of any tax-payer should be increased in
