WHES Mr.. E. To, t a liei for citi-
zenship a day or two sIrce the Prose
cuting Attorney objected TO the grant
ing OF the application on the ground
that Tout mad said that the man who
gave away the whereabouts of Hon.
Geo. Q. Cannon should be hanged. Mr..
Tout was told 10 call again, and on
Tuesday evening produced the most
substantial Kind OF evidence that he
said no such thing, by bringing around

became an American citizen.
OS Tuesday evening a meeting of
property Taxpayers in answer 10 the
call OF the trustees of the Ogden School
District, was held. The trustees an
nounced that il was Necessary TO build a
new house to accommodate primary
pupils IN the Second Ward; that
the Central School building needed |
new floor and new radiators |
To make these Improvements. about |
81, 500 was needed, aRd II was thought |
that a tax of one half of l per /
cent. would raise the required amount. |
The trustees are authorized TO levy a /
tax of one-fouTth Of per cent, by law, |
they, therefore. only asked for one |
quarter of l per cent. above what the |
law requires. a motion that the tax /
De levied was made, but was defeated /
BY q vote of IS 10 SO. There were few 4
Liberals present, but il is probable that 1
they hardly constituted the majority /
which defeated the motion. After the
meeting the trustees met and decided
to levy a tax Of one-fourth of l per cent,
which the law provides for.
