II must not be supposed for mo-
ment that because sleeves have become
less voluminous they have also become
less deliberately trimmed. On the con-
trary, II is very much more trouble
TO make small sleeve than large one.
No two arms are alike, and the pat
tern which just fits one will have to be
taken in or let out for another. They
have one saving grace, however. They
do not require SO much material.
One method Of trimming a tailor
made sleeve suggests possibilities Of
economy to the thrifty soul. 1t is the
one on the left of the picture at the
top. Instead of being gathered around
the top there are five darts taken in
and stitched. If this sleeve is cut from
fresh goods, five slashes should be
made in the pattern, but il it is made
from the old one, as it easily can be.
this is only another means Of disposing
of too much fullness around the top OF

felt great pity for the unfortunate man.
and told unto their lord all that was
done. They were sure he would listen,
since - had been so compassionate
toward the hrst debtor. ''Then his lord,
after that he had called him, said unto
him: o thou wicked servant I forgave
thee all that debt, because thou de-
siredst me: Shouldest not thou also
have had compassion on thy fellow
serynnt. even as had pity on thee?
And his lord was wroth, and delivered
him to the tormentors, till he should
pay all that was due unto him." His
heart must have been very hard and
cruel. The mercy Of his king could not
soften it. He had sought forgiveness
from fear Of loss, not because he was
sorry for his wrong doing. The suffer-
ings of others did not move him.
Then Christ adds the moral: $50 like
wise shall my Heavenly Father do also
unto you. II ye from your hearts for
give not everyone his brother their tres
passes" And our forgiveness is not to
be merely in form and words, but from
sincere love, with true forgiveness.

S23 900; village Of Duluth refunding bonds,
6 per cent, $13S, ,250; total, 81, 055, 250.
The last item Of $13S, ,25O was issued at
the time when the city Of Duluth reverted
into a village under a special act. A
fund for paying both principal and in
terest was provided for by the county.
The city, therefore, is paying interest on
s., ,9l7 900 bonds.

outstanding, per cent, $3S0,0O0; total,
$751;, ,721.
To offset this indebtedness there is due
the city from delinquent assessments and
taxes over $1,100,00O. OF this amount
something over 100000 is for assessments
made for street improvements on prop
erty in the city of Duluth proper, and is
a first lien on the property. That, to-
gether with the delinquent taxes, will un-
doubtedly be paid up in few years and
will wipe out our floating debt. do not
know of single case where the prop
erty is not good for the assessment even
in these times. For the West Duluth as
sessments it is claimed, and I believe in
some cases it is true, that the property
is not worth the assessments and taxes,
but let that be as it may, whatever we
get out of it will be over and above our
debt and so much of a surplus in the
treasury.

luth and Lakeside outstanding Feb. l,

While I am not able to report as large
reduction in our city Indebtedness as
last year, the balance nevertheless re-
mains on the right side of the ledger. We
may congratulate ourselves with having
been able to keep the expenses of the city
within our income, especially when we
take in consideration the inability Of the
people to pay their taxes. The city treas
urer has at all times been able to pro-
cure funds to pay all demands on the
treasury, and in consequence the credit
of our city has been maintained. In this
connection wish to call the attention of
your honorable body to the urgent neces-
sity for continued retrenchment and the
closest economy in all city affairs. We
must not only try to live within our in
come, but in order to invite prosperity,
taxes must be lowered, and this, am
satisfied, can be done as soon as the peo-
pie are enabled to pay up their back
taxes. ,.H.'

From study Of the above figures it
will be seen that the question of taxes
does not depend so largely on the as
SCISSORS department as is popularity sup
posed, for although very heavy reductions
have been made in the valuations during
the past two years a corresponding in
crease in rates has taken place which al
most offsets the effect of the reduction in
valuations, showing that expenditures
must be reduced. The rate for city pur-
poses has not been increased to cores
pond with the reduction in values, that
for the year 1897 showing a reduction OF
O5 of a mill over that of 1885, proving
that economy is practised the conduct
of city affairs and that the increasing OF
the rate during the past two years has
been largely due to the levies for other
purposes. The expense of the department
for the past year has been 81, 4,493.51. A
comparison with former years is as fol-
lows: 1898, $5,459.11; 1894, $6,SS5.10; 1895,

Assessed Valuation a Little Larger
But Rate No Higher.
The report of the city assessor, which
I herewith submit for your careful pc
rusal, shows small changes in the as
sessed valuation of last year, the real es-
tate remaining practically the same as in
1885, The increase in real estate is in
the nature of new buildings, amounting
to $22S,274. The assessed valuation for
the year 1897 shows decrease of about
$260000. This decrease is more than ac>
counted for in the item of bank stocks
which have decreased very largely both
in quantity and value.
The rate of taxation is the same for
1897 as that for 1896, namely ,31.4.
The following table will show the rate
of taxation for the past several years and
the proportion for the different purposes,
including the local 1 mill tax which is

saving will be further increased during

glad to say that the high efficiency of the

a few days ago the efficiency of the de-

ber of Commerce fire. I heard great.
many complimentary remarks from
members Of the Retail Grocers' associa-
s tion, visitors to the city, that were pres
ent at the hre, Of the able manner In
which Chief Black and his assistants and
firemen conducted themselves. T have
heard it repeatedly said, and know it is
true, that according to the size of our
department it is second to none in the
country. In this connection I would re-
spectfully suggest that as soon as we get
possession of the water plant, strong
effort should be made for heavy reduc-
ton in insurance rates. It has been
promised and the people are entitled to
some substantial returns for the large
outlay in maintaining such an efficient
force of fire fighters. F.:
