THE progress of our water works
is retarded by the non-arrival of the
pipe needed for a portion of the
main. When the order was given
the Trustees were assured that it
would be here in thirty days, which
period expired some ten days ago.
The only work now being done
is the digging Of trench from Main
street along Third to the plaza, which
is about completed. The Trustees
are becoming somewhat anxious on
account of the delay, as winter is
at hand and they had hoped to com
plete the works before storm set IN.

An Overlooking Treasury.

The fact that our State treasury
will be overlooking next year, at the
present rate of bullion tax receipts, is
made the text by some Of our con-
temporaries for sundry diatribes
against the members of the last
Legislature who opposed the COM
promise bill, as it was called. 1t
should be remembered that Controller
Hobart, at the time Of making his
report, thought the litigation relating
to the bullion taxes then withheld
might last a year or more, and recon-
mended a tax levy for the ensuing
two years of one dollar on each one
hundred dollars valuation of taxable
property. The compromise bill fail
ed to become law. The Legislature
did not act on Mr.. Hobart's sugges-
ton that the State tax should be in
creased, but left it at tire former fig
ures, ninety cents on each one hun
drei dollars. The members of the
Legislature probably acted in accord
ance with their best judgment, and
it will do no good to find fault at this
late day. Let the matter drop. The
money can be applied in an economic
way by the next Legislature, either
toward paying the debt of the State
or approprIating it for current OK
penses, and thus reduce taxation to
very low rate for the next two
wears

THE question answered! What
becomes of the very old watches
which often are left on Uncle Harris
hands and never redeemed9 Well,
certain times during the year Uncle
Harris forfeits something like from
1000 to 5000 watches, which are i'm
mediately given over to the superln-
tendent of the Matchmaking depart
ment, who picks out those which are
in fit condition to be warranted for 8,
5, s or 10 years, and the balance,
which are likely to keep time for one
year or so, are broken up and the
cases sold for what they will bring
for old gold and silver.
