Gray Brothers, the contractors of the

board was little short of miraculous. for
had they been at their regular stations at
least three men would have been buried in
the wreck. At the time of the accident
the dredger was engaged in pulling up
snags. The importance of this work is
emphasized when the fact is remem bered
in view OF recent Supreme Court decision
that the State is responsible for all damage
to vessels by collision with snags at any

The Assessors office is about the busiest
place in this County. "The men are at
work" said Deputy Assessor Herzer yes

we can tell just how the new law works or
how long it will take them to complete the
collection of the personal taxes. You see,
this is all new TO the people and there is
likely to be a great deal of friction. 1t will
be to the great advantage of taxpayers to
observe thelaw and make it as easy as pos
sble on our deputies, for that will be max
ing it easy for themselves. This new law
is really an advantage to the taxpayer, for
it relieves him of the trouble of coming to
the City Hall and standing in line, as
many have to do, awaiting their turn to
reach the window.
'sOn the other hand the citizen who be-
comes obstreperous is liable to have big
costs levied against him. The deputy is
empowered by the law to seize everything
man has if he refuses to pay the tax, and
q single matter of four bits may quickly
mount to $25. The deputy is expected to
seize enough to realize all the costs in the
sale. If after the sale takes place and the.
