4 TIXPAYER WITH Il TENDER CONSCIENCE
AFTER ESCAPING; IFS ASSESSMENTS FOR YEARS,
HE BECAME ANXIOUS TO MAKE
FULL. RESTITUTION.

Queer things happen at times in all the municipal
departments, but in none other. perhaps Is there a
better chance afforded for studying human nature
than in the Department of Taxes and Assessments
People of all kinds and conditions go there The
owner of real estate, looking after the valuations
placed upon his property: the officer OF corpora
ton seeking to impress upon the Tax Commits
sioner the justice of a lower assessment the
widow, mingling with her tears tale of the OPP
pressve nature of personal taxation, which reduces
her income and hampers her in the education and
maintenance of her children; the aniuent specu-
lator claiming exemption because ne deals in stocks
which are non-taxable; the lawyer. who secures
clients on a percentage of the valuations he sue
ceeds in scaling down; the president OF foreign
corporation asking that his concern be taken off
the list because it was organized under the laws
of New-Jersey, and the shareholders go there once
a year TO hold meetng-all have their innings
and pour their complaints into the ear of the head
of the department. Once in while there is a
ripple to relieve the monotony of faultfinding.
One day last week man called on President
Barker and. after, looking carefully around to as
sure himself that they were alone in the presi-
dents room, said In voice inaudble five feet

President Barker told him that Tax Commission
ers had no power TO add to the assessment for any
year after the books for that year had been closed,
but that he would be enrolled among the taxpayers
of 1894 The caller seemed surprised and appeared
disappointed at being able to for the back
years in which he had avoided assessment
'IIl tell you what I'll do" said the president, ito

Then he looked around again furively and asked

He grasped his ha; and umbrella firmly, and with
appealing look and a whispered "Iou won't

doorway at Nancy Hanks pace and WAS in the
street In Il twinkling.
''Why had he avoided payment here tofore and why
was he anxious TO get upon the list OF taxpayers

burdened with large debt amounting to nearly
$1,000 which paid in 1873. This was a great
triumph for the church. for Mr. Baker had been
advised by friends to accept the call to the
Church OF the Messiah as it "hopelessy in
debt" At the time the debt was paid the vestry
drew up elaborate plan for the future altera-
