Tax-Paying Time.

Those people who are anxious to know
if the time for paying the spring taxes this
year has been extended are being advised
by employees in the county treasurer's office
that the safe thing to do is to pay the
taxes this year before the third Monday
of April. The law changing the time 10 the
first Monday in May had no emergency
clause and will be i'm effect when the laws
are printed and promulgated by the Gov
ernor. If the proclamation is issued before
the third Monday in April the time for
the spring payment this year will be eX-
tended. IL not. the taxes will be payable this
year under the old law. This change does
not affect the time for paying the Barrett
law assessments. Tney Will be delinquent

on West Washington street. last night, to
discuss the proposition to locate market
at the present site of the hay market, on
the triangular piece of ground bounded by

proposition. Councilman Cooper was among
those present, and was chosen TO act as
chairman. There was little to be said or
done beside expressing opinions favoring
the location of a market there. a commit
tee was appointed composed of j. A. Ever
in. J. c. Adams, James +. Flack. 5. s.

BOARD OF WORKS AFFAIRS.
Many Much Needed improvements he
ing Arranged For.

While some remonstrances against pub
lie improvements are being filed with the
Board of Public Works they are more than
equaled by petitions. Among the petitions
filed yesterday were petitions asking for
sewers in Ingraham street and Sturm ave.
nue.. well as one for cement walks on
North Meridian street, from Fall creek to
Thirty-fourth street. If this goes through
IL will be boon for bicycle riders who
now have to follow cow path north of
Fall creek. Property owners are not inter-
ested on that account, however All petit
tions were referred to the engineer for his
recommendations.
One of the important Improvements the
board has decided on is west of White
river. The engineer has been instructed to
prepare papers for the improvement of
Vermont street, from the river to Belmont
avenue. 1t is to have a gravel roadway
with cement walks.
Action was deferred by the board with
reference TO a remonstrance against cement
walks on Senate avenue, from Ohio to ST.
Clair street. The board adopted preliminary
resolutions yesterday for the Improvement
or Park avenue, from Massachusetts ave-
nue. to Eighteenth street The roadway is
to be asphalted and the walks to be ce-
mented. 1t is anticipated that there will be
strong objection to this Improvement and
II may find its way into the Council.
Residents living on Chestnut street have
prepared and circulated petition request
ing the Council to change the name of the
street TO Pennsylvania street There is a
slight jag at the north end of Chestnut
street at its juncture with Madison avenue

properly be made a continuation of Penn

street are practically unanimous in asking
the change. David M. Shepherd will hand
the petition to Councilman Ohleyer and re-

The Board OF Public Works is giving
special care to the selection of plans for
the new station house. Drawings and de-
tailed descriptions have been made by
eight architects, none Of whom are known
to the board. After the board decides upon
the plans that are regarded as most suit
able sealed envelopes containing the names
of the architects will be opened and the
lucky one will be known for the first time.
Each set of drawings has an identifying
motto that corresponds with the one in the
envelope containing the architects name
This plan has been chosen in order that
there may be no charges of bias. The man
whose plans are selected will be chosen for
supervising architect. The plans were re-
ceived last Wednesday by Bart Parker
clerk of the board. IL will probably be
several days before the board decides which
plans to accept.
