ASSESSORS FEES.
SMITH EXPLAINS.


It was explained by Smith that the
provision was intended to give an in
! centive TO the Assessor for the collec-
| ton of personal property tax. He said
! If the rural districts We're to lock horns
with the cities, it would as well be done
at once. he protested against the eX-
clusion of the large cities from the pro-
! vision, contendfng that unless an in
| centive were had no Assessor would
make strenuous efforts to collect the
tax. He thought the exception was
merely marking out a track by which
! citizens Of large cities might escape
from paying personal property tax,
and he submitted that city property, no
more than country. ought to be ex-
empted from taxation.
Simpson contended that all County
| Assessors should not be considered as
/ rascals. and could, as a rule, be relied
on to do their duty without an incent-
| i've of 9 per cent. on personal taxes
hung up for them. He protested against
/ Assessors putting their arms down into
the treasury and drawing out 6 per
cent. Of the peoples money, besides

An Improved plant.

improvements at the Gas Works
are being speedily pushed along; the
engine house at the rear, and indie
pendent, of the main plant is nearly
finished, and the Encouragement OF
the machinery is already begun. Mr..
Thayer has spared no expense to
make the works as complete and
secure as possible. He has poured
money into the business, in fact, with
the single idea of making it effective.
1t is we'll known, at least among the
patrons of the gas factory, that IL has
not been a paying industry. 1t is
equally well known that this fact has
not interfered with the efficiency of
the gas service. The light, with the
exception OF a few very brief periods,
has been excellent, and much better
than electricity.
When the fire inflicted such grave
damage on the works few weeks ago
it was seriously feared that they might
be closed for good. Instead, an i'm
proved and enlarged system Of making
gas is introduced, and the plant is put
in the hands Of competent and care
full mechanics. 1t is to the minute
direction of Al. Smith and Theodore
Lawrence, In fact, that Mr.. Thayer
has intrusted this matter of improve
ments. With new furnace, great
IL enlarged retort, and much open
space for a plum bing shop and for
handling the crude oil, the works
viii soon be admirably equipped and
thoroughly secure.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY AT THE
PUBLIC SCHOOL.


Arbor and Bird Day was observed
at the Public School last Friday,
April 3oth, by the planting of trees
and appropriate exercises in the
afternoon.
After the trees were put out, all
the pupils assem- bled ia the High
School r, on about o'clock and spent
one hour and half very pleasantly
and profitably singing patriotic songs,
and other songs appropriate to the
occasion, and reciting pieces pertain
ing TO tree .antIng, flowers and birds.
The pupils from the lower grades
furnished all the exercises except
three patriotic songs and did great
credit to themselves and their
teachers, Miss Macauley, Miss Weld,
Miss Dodge and Miss Chapman.
Seven of the trees which we're set
out last year are living and in a fair
condition to continue their existence
Twelve more trees were put out this
year, ten by the whole school, one,
golden willow, by the senior class,
and one, cedar, by the third grade
pupils, little Florence Krauth furn-
ishing the tree.
In previous years the pupils, mostly
the large boys, have taken into their
own hands the work of going to the
woods for the trees and setting them
out in the school yard. This year it
was thought best to make an especial
effort to have the trees grow, the
presence of city water on the school
grounds atfording an opportunity to
take better care of them than in the
past. Accordingly Mr.. Henry Farms
worth, who has had much experience
in transplanting trees, was engaged
| to furnish the trees and direct the
pupils in the work of putting them
out. The public spirited large boys
were on hand about | O'Clock with
their spades, and worked diligently
till all the trees were planted.
Arbor and Bird Day has in it much
of incalculable value to public school
pupils. Any disposition on the part
of pupils, teachers and parents to
regard it as a holiday thwarts the
purpose of the law authorizing the
Governor to set apart one day in each
year for the observance of Arbor and
| Bird Day. Teachers can not get any
thing out of this day if the pupils take
it for holiday, and pupils and
parents can not properly observe it
without the cooperation of the
teachers. Our teachers have always
endeavored to make the most of this
day for the school.
In addition to the advantage to the
public school property arising from
the planting of trees one day in each
year and the valuable lesson to the
pupils on plants and birds, there is
hardly lesson taught in the public
schools of so much value as the one in
civic patriotism taught on Arbor and
Bird Day Pupils who take pride and
| interest in Ornamenting and beautify-
! ing their school, will certainly make
more public spirited and useful
citizens, than those who are unwilling.
to say the least, to participate in any
undertaking in which they are not
personally concerned. This develop
ment of public spirit, the awaken
ing of ar interest in things not pure
ly selfish, is the chief educational
value in the observance Of Arbor and
Bird Day.
