IMPORTANT TO TAXPAYERS.

Major Burke. State tax collector First District,
has, in conformity with instructions, fled with
the Assistant Attorney General the tax suits
against delinquents for the years 1873. 1874 and
1875 whose names commence with the letters
l.. M, N, 0, amounting to $4,000. and the let
ters from P to q, inclusive, amounting to $4,000
A force OF clerks are engaged in preparing the
balance Of the lists, and the whole amount due
in the First District alone will amount 70 over
$4,000
Major Burke has given repeated notice to de-
linquents for these years ia order to afford them
opportunity to avoid court costs and expenses,
and the Auditor and Attorney General have ex-
hibited DISPOSE ion to do all in their power for
the relief Of the people by deciding th,t these
taxes can be paid now with only per cent inter-
est from November l, instead Of the as per cent
penalty formerly collected. Under these circum-
stances we again call the attention OF those in
terested to this important subject, in order that
they may not, through ignorance, incur the ex-
peDses Of litigation. All who can will do well to
pay before these suits are filed in court.

ever knew. When inspecting any Of the Nor
gan steamers he WAS always careful and partio-
ular.. The donkey boiler IL at all times under
the charge OF the chief engineer, whether the
custom In the Morgan Lire il TO inspect the
main boiler first, aud the donkey boiler after,
the pressure on which Is obtained by the hand
pump.
The next witness examined was Mr.. W. J.
Perkins. who made the following statement:
am chief engineer OF the steamboat r. e. Lee
Have been an engineer for the last thirty-four
years. Upon an examination OF piece OF iron
from the exploded donkey boiler u the Lessie
Taylor, should judge that it had been overhested
since 1t was new. should not by any means,
consider it good piece of iron. or good boiler.
DO not think that eighty pounds Of steam pres
sure would explode it,. 1t looks to be impossible
sosldiDg any one, while there YVES plenty Of water
In the boiler.
In my experience, when getting ready for in
specton, the valve leading from the main boilers
to the donkey boiler wyuld sometimes be found
In leaking condition, and injecting cold water
into the donkey boiler, which wo1ld oblige me to
close that valve permanently-by plug or other
wise. This valve Is one of the nest OF
valves on the steam drum Of the main
boilors. Should consider ii possible for
this valve TO leak sufficient cold water
from the main boilers while under 3 greater
pressure than the donkey boiler to do serious
damage to the donkey boiler il overheated.
have known Mr.. Moffstt for the last thirty five
right and careful man. Mr.. Moffett has always
been more particular when inspecting boilers
under my chat &c than any inspector / ever knew
consider the donkey boiler at all times under
my charge, and at no time would consider the
inspector responsible If any accident should
happen; and in my thirty-fve years experience
never heard or thought OF an inspector taking
charge OF the donkey boiler.
