CASH FOR TAX PAYMENTS.
West Superior VIII Get Funds From
the Land Company.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct. 3d.
The first $4,000 of 1926, 900 for payment
of delinquent taxes of the Land and
River Improvement company is here.
Uuder the refunding ordinance, the
only purpose for which this money
should be used is for the payment of
certain bonds, and the first to be taken
up will be those upon property the
owners of which have paid their taxes.
The understanding with which the
land company will turn over this sum
as a first installment is that the bonds
to be taken up are bonds which are a
valid claim against the city, and not
bonds issued after the constitutional
ed. They will be cared for in their
turn. In order to enable the city to
collect the first installment of interest
upon the extended assessments in the
coming tax rolls it will be necessary
for the common council to make the
levy within month of this time. The
levy will be entirely separate from
the levy for general taxes, and will be
made to provide for the per cent in
terest on the amount to be extended.
The work of getting the descriptions
of land and computing the amount
upon which interest is to be levied ON
the new tax roll must be completed be-
fore December. The clerical force of
the city will probably have to be large
1y increased. The advertisement for
proposals to sell city bonds back to the
city is now before bondholders.

VIII Come the Money for PrOsecu
ting the Railway Suits.

FARGO, n. D., Oct 30.-There have
been many postponements of the filing
of the answer of the railroad commits
sioners to the injunction proceedings
brought by the railroads to prevent the
PRONUNCIATION of the reasonable max
imum freight charges, and much dis
cussion about the answer ever being
filed, but arrangements have at last
been made whereby the initial proceed
ings in putting the rates into effect
may be begun.
The last legislature enacted meas
ure to enable the board to adopt such
rulings as would be necessary to bring
the railroad commissioners to time, but
neglected to provide for the expenses
of such action. AS soon as the board
attempted to enforce its ruling, injunc-
ton proceedings were begun. The at
torney general could not file his answer
as he had no funds to prosecute the
suit, and the governor and auditor have
been severely criticised for not making
an attempt to assist the board by bcr-
rowing money and trusting to the next
legislature to reimburse them. The
criticisms of the board on the lack Of
executive action were recently pub
lished. This made governor Briggs so
indignant that, in an open letter to
Chairman Keyes, of the board, after
referring rather sarcastically to their
inaction, he announced that he would
furnish the money to conduct the nee
essary legal proceedings out of his own
pocket. He will trust to the next legs-
lature to repay him for the money ad-
vanced
