Almost q Fire.

A pile OF old papers in the vacant
two.story brick at the corner of
West Commerce and Losoya
streets, caught fire yesterday after
noon, and but for the timely arri-
val OF several clerks employed in
the Dullnig wholesale house across
the street, the building would have
probably been greatly damaged.
They swept the burning papers
out on the street with broom. A
number of boys were in the build
ing smoking cigarettes, and it is
believed that one OF them threw a
lighted cigarette in the pile.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
That the city should go on
laundering about the tax business,
is something that the intelligent
citizen cannot reconcile with the
fact that we have a business adj
ministration.
We have tax collector and yet
have two tax collecting establish
ments; one to collect delinquent
taxes, and one to collect taxes. The
city is keeping up two tax collect
ing firms, without the warrant of
law.
No wonder that the city has
trouble about collecting taxes
when it is well known that the
process Of enforcing tax collections
has no force or effect.
An act of the last legislature,
approved April 18th, 1895, covers
the entire matter of the collection
of delinquent taxes, state, county
and city. Yet the city council has
paid no attention to the act.
The title of the act reads: can
act to provide for the collection of
taxes heretofore levied and that
may hereafter be levied, making
such taxes a lien on the lands
taxed establishing and continuing
such lien; providing for the sale
and conveyance of lands delinquent
for taxes since January l, 1885,
which may have been returned de-
linquent or reported sold to the
state, or to any county, city or
town, or the tax due thereon and
not redeemed, or which may here
after be returned Delinquent or re-
ported sold to the state or to any
county, city or town, to satisfy the
lien thereon"
The second section of the act
limits the delinquency to 1885, to-
wit: "All lands or lots which !
have been returned delinquent or
reported sold to the state, or to any
city or town, for taxes is due there
on since the LIST day of January,
1885, or which may hereafter be
returned delinquent or reported |
sold to the state, or to any city or
town, shall be subject to the pro-
visions of this act"
The act requires that before any
lands or lots can be sold that a
Judgment shall be had; that the
sheriff shall proceed to sell as in
other cases; that owners can re-
deem any time before sale by pay
ing tax and per cent interest;
that owners shall have two years
to redeem after sale by paying
double amount of sale. -,
The county collector is today
collecting taxes undexrhis law.
u rsph
The 10Th section of the act reads
T'The fact there exists no adequate
law to enforce the collection OF
taxes in this state creates an
emergency &c.
Now our city tax collector is go
ing right ahead to collect taxes un-
der charter and city ordinances di-
rectly in conflict with this act,
what will it amount to.
Would it not be well for our
combined legal authority, the city
attornies to look into this new tax
act and see il the city cannot take.
