VIII ForecIosc for Taxes.

The city has issued the expected order to
City Attorney Hazelton to begin proceed
ings at once to foreclose upon all property
where the owners have permitted special
, taxes to remain delinquent for two years.
The order refers particularly to the Lower
Broadway property where the owners have
concluded to let the city have the vacant
lots in payment for the paving. Many of the
owners have paid all of the assessments,
many of them have paid all but two, and
still a larger number have paid all but the
last. The order of the council is meant
to cover the cases where two or more pay
ments are delinquent At the present time
the city is obligated to pay the contractor
about $4,000, and there is consequently
considerable anxiety on the part of the
officials to get hold of all the security pos
sble.
The city attorney is also empowered to
bid in at all tax sales all of the lots in all
parts of town upon which the city has any
sort of claim in case they are ever sold for
taxes.

Finance in the SUNDAY School.

The Sunday school needed money.
and Mr.. Smart, the superintendent,
had a new way OF getting it.
He proposed giving each boy half
crown. At the end of the month the
principal, together with what 1t
earned, was to be returned to him.
The scheme was good, but it didn't
work quite as Mr.. Smart had antici-
pated.
The fourth Sunday found the super
intendent ready to audit the profit and
less accounts and he commenced with
Johnnie's class.
How have you done, Johnnie?"
my half crown has earned another
one" said Johnnie. with an air of one
having an option on halo.
Good" said the superintendent,
Not only is Johnnie good boy in
helping the school, but he shows BUSH
ness talent. Doubling ones money in
a single month requires no common
ability. Who can tell but what we
have another budding Croesus among
us? Johnnie, you have done well.
And now, Thomas, how much has your
half crown earned?"
Lost it," said Thomas.
What! Not only failed to earn any
thing, but actually LOST" said Mr..
Smart, How was that?"
At tossed with Johnnie" was the re-
ply. land he won. London Tid-Bits.
