Communication-Taxes

Editor Alpeaa Argus:
DEAR SIR.-Some time ago read
in your valuable paper an article in
relation to taxes, and l have since
found out that great deal more
might have been said with profit on
the subject. 1t would look to the
average man that the management of
the city affairs could be much better
handled. l am convinced that rad
ical change Is needed. You, who are
paying taxes, look at what your as.
sessments are, compared with other
years. In 1883 q tax that was 1926. SO,
this year will be found to be s59.37,
more than double on the same proper
ty, and why this vast differencei
can assured you, and all who live
there will bear me out in the assertion,
that the principal streets were never
in a worse condition than they were
last fall. Mud and slush up to the
hubs. The tinkering with the sewer
on Second street, you are all familiar
with, and perhaps the least said the
better. We have been burdened
enough with that. One great trouble
last year has been with those who
had the levying of the tax. You will
see that there has been a great change
made. To non-residents, store-keep-
ers (for personal tax small dealers
and light manufacturers, etc., the tax
has been largely increased. The val.
ues on some houses and stores have
been largely overrated, and the per-
centage of taxation in Alpena is an
outrage and ought not to be tolerated.
The rate 81 per cent. on an excessive
valuation-op the class Of property
above mentioned.
am unfortunate in being one OF
the outsiders, and my taxes in Alpena
have been two and one fourth times,
in 1884, what they have ever been be-
fore on the same property, and think
sufficient cause Of complaint.
TAX PAYER,

Cemetery Etiquette.

Mr.. EDIToR-Which do you think
is the most fit or proper on the part
of an undertaken, during the solemn
service at the open grave, while weep
ing friends and synlpathising neigh
bors are uniting devontly in the con-
Guiding prayer, should he, the under
taker, the moment the coffin is let
down, take the badges from the arms
of the bearers, or respectfully and
patiently wait, until the Benediction
is pronounced? Please answer and
oblige, SELAH.
The latter seems to us to be proper,
but we do not consider ourselves au-
thority on the subject. Probably
some of our readers can furnish the
desired information.

Constable James McTeavey, who
was shot last week In Presque Isle
township, while serving an ejectment
notice, has died from the effects of the
wound. In the house at the time the
rifle was discharged, were VIM. Gill
and his father-in-law, Alonzo Stone.
1t is not definitely known which of
the two did the shooting. The re-
ports in regard to the affair are con-
flictipg. One says Gill had a right
to remain in the house for some weeks.
Another says the officials offered to
move him at their expense, and find
him another house. One person re-
ported that ellis wife drew o revolt
yer at the time of the shooting, and
threatened IL, to slug those who attempt
ed to break in. The reports are also
conflicting regarding Gill himself.
The facts appear to be that Gill lived
in house belonging to Clark, who
wanted Gill to vacate it. Gill refused,

day evening, at their hall in the Pot
ter block, and many availed them
selves of the opportunity. The Post
Commanders stand and the altar
were decorated with national colors,
and back of the stand was the very
handsome silk flag which had been
presented to the Post by Alpena ladies.
In front of the Vice Commanders
stand was a stack of guns with fixed
bayonets. About eight o'clock the
Post Commander requested the Ser
geant of the Guard to post the Sen
tries. One was placed at each door,
with gun and fixed bayonet, and his
orders were to bayonet any one who
attempted to leave without orders.
We all remained and were civil. The
Commander, Vice Commander, Junior
Vice-Commander, Officers of the Day
and Guard, the Adjutant, and several
others were armed with swords. The
Commander stated that comrade j. N.
Kelley had been authorized to act as
installing officer, and was waiting.
The Officer of the Day was detailed to
escort the installing officer to the
room. On his arrival he took COM
mand of the Post apd duly installed
the following officers:
p. Gil. S. Seage.
S. V. CT. ii. Northrup.
j. V. C.-L. j. Partridge.
S.-W. p. Maiden.

o. of G.-J. S. Miller.

After the officers had been install
led, the choir, consisting Of Miss
Estella Barnes, Miss Emma Crowell,
f. l.. Wean and III. S. Seage, sang
Crock of Ages" in a manner that
was very agreeable to the many per-
sons present. Miss Sewall presided
at the organ.
Comrade Kimball read the "The
Drummer Boy of Mission Ridge"
The Commander then called on the
comrades for incidents and remarks
in connection with the rebellion, and
comrades E. o. Avery and Conrad
Vessel responded, with entertaining
remarks. The installation services
closed with the choir singing "Rock
Of Liberty" A vote of thanks was
given the choir for their services, and
then the Post adjourned, everybody
seeming to be well pleased with the
manner in which the G. A. II. had
entertained them.
