this place have been receiving an un-
usual amount of orders from local

weeks behind orders. mostly fOr
local ana up. river points. However,
there are good prospects Of a revival
in general business soon. The recent
snow has given encouragement y

REDUCED rzx Levy
How st. Paul Secured q De
crease IN Tax Levy for Next
~ Year. -. ,..&ss

Tne tax rate IN st. 'PNNt hAa been
higher than most people believed
was necessary, and there waA \ gen,
eral Impression IN the community y
that there should be less money ex-
pended in governing. the city and
sustaining its institutions. Several
m"nth hs ago Il number Of. prominent
citizens were selected az Il committee
and they carefully examined all the
items Of expense, and finally rtrOnl-
n'en'ied Il decrease In Il great many
items. Their report advised reduc-
ttons In running expenses that
reached a total Of nearly $3OO, 900
and after Il great deal Oi discussion
the city council was finally intiu-
enred to look upon the matte r In
about the same light, and the result
IL that the next tax levy will he
nearly 5 mills less than the present
one.
During the last few years nearly
all cities have had to make some IT.
fort to- recover from the heavy ex-
penditures that caused no great
complaint during the former years
when money was fairly abundant
and "ttmes" good. Recently all
classes Of business have been less
prosperous, and 1t Ia u reasonable
demand of taxpayers that public ex-
penses he reduced whcrrver possible.
There is an urgent ne,d in Little
Falls Of reduced expenses and re-
duced tax levy. County expenses
have been reduced during the past
year, and there are good grounds
for expecting decreased county tax
levy this year. There should he a
determined effort to reduce city and
school expenses. There liz no ques-
tion hut city expenses can he reduced
without great injury to public inter-
ests. The question Of reducing
school expenses is one that con-
clusiOft cannot be reached upon quite
40 readily. The tax rate il too high
--and 1t Ia question: how much the
school expenses can I've reduce Il in
the city's interests III a lower tax
rate. The valuation Of the city and
school district embracing about the
same territory ~ about $l, ,OOO, 400
~ that 4 deereass Of 4l.OO0 In ex-
pense Wilt result In decrease oi
about mill In taxes. -
1t does not take mucn argumen,
tU, demonstrate that a public SER
want should labor for less wages
now than in 1890 or 1892. There has
been such a grsat reduction III prices
Of most commodities, that the sst,le
I purchases can be made with uSs5etl
less money than was necessary a
few years ago. In private lines Oi
bushes. employment is scarcer and
wages lower than then. and public
servants should not object to de-
crease in their wages during the
period 1t is particularly hard for the
taxpayers to raise money.
Other cities have had to meet this
question, and have generally found
that reduced expenses were possible.
The people OF Little Falls should
carefully consider II they cannot
bring about u lower tax rate than
AZ milla, without hardship to any
one, and with a positive benefit to
the city.

MR.. EDITOR: did not strike me
till last night after | had read DR..
Hazelton's items of cost OF operating an
electric light plant, how great bene-
factor w. S. Reed had been to Kenosha.
After some trouble he obtained a
franchise to light the city of Kenosha,
not for any benefit to himself, but that
he might supply the city with light
that he knew (for Mr.. Reed is posted
on these matters) would cost him
$12, 900 or $13, 900 a year, for $4,000, or
one-half the cost to him. You must
remember that for about two years he
did no incandescent lighting and had
practically no revenue except from the
city. ). b. DAVIDSON.

a Large Crowd Listened to a Brilliant
Address.
Simmons hall was decorated as it has
been seldom seen before last Saturday
evening for the celebration of Washing
tons birthday by the local chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. Flags of all sizes were fes-
TONED about in most artistic folds in
all parts of the hall mingled with long
trains of evergreen and portraits of the
" Father of his country" who was" first
in war. first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen. The stage
was erected in the east end of the hall.
Over it the folds of Old Glory"
streamed in the utmost pr0fusion and
beauty. In the center of the stage dra-
perry hung a large engraving of Wash
portraits of Washington at the right
and Mrs. Washington at the left. i'm
mediately to the right of the entrance
hung the portrait Of the man who held
the helm during the trying period of
time when it was being demonstrated
that this government of the people,
for the people, by the people, should
not perish from the EARTH" the man
who fixed the work of the founder,
Abraham Lincoln.
A choir Of about sixteen voices had
been assembled to lead the singing of
the occasion under the able leadership
of g. r. Mcdowell.
Col. w. W. Strong was selected by
the Daughters of the Revolution, as
chairman Of the meeting. With appro
pirate remarks he introduced James
Cavanagh, who told of the work of the
public library association since the
time of the first meeting in the Grant
house parlors, and outlined some OF the
plans Of the organization. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Littlehales, who sang
q The Star Spangled Banner, as
solo, the audience joining in the chorus.
Prof. E. E. Sparks, of the Chicago
University, was then introduced The
professor gave an admirable address on
the subject +" George Washin4'on5 the
Gentleman from Virginia" III" re-
marks were confined very largely i0the
side of Washington's life which was
least understood an detailed his do
nestle virtues with delightful grace.
He occupied the attention Of the audi
ence about an honr, and when he had
finished, the applause which greeted
him was profound and lasting and tes
tilted in deeper language than words
the appreciation of his auditors
The program was finished by the
rendition of America" by the audi
ence.
The entertainment, which was given
for the benefit Of the public library, re-
fleets the greatest credit upon the Ke-
nosha Chapter of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution. The public in
general has been enthusiastic in praise
of both the lecture and the work OF the
ladies.
