New York. Sept. 3O.-The bantam cham
pionship of America still belongs to Casper
Leon, the Italian boxer, but he had close
call an a twenty-five round bout with
Steve Flanagan of Philadelphia before the
Lenox Athletic Club tonight.
These two lads met at 105 pounds and
put up bout which was one of the live
lest and cleverest contest which has
taken place in this city.
Toward the close of the fight the stiff
pace told on Leon, while the Philadelphia

toward the conclusion of the bout.
The referee satisfied the majority of
those who witnessed the contest when he

The time for the payment of the as
sessments for street improvements under
the Barrett law expires Monday. leaving
but three days in which 10 make the pay
ments. In case they are not made by that
time an additional penalty of 20 per cent
is added, and foreclosure proceedings can
be begun at once. If this is done, court
costs and attorneys fees are added and
these with the delinquent penalty, often
amount to more than the assessment. For
this reason Treasurer Schmidt asks that
the taxpayers who have not already paid
their assessments call between now and
Monday and protect themselves. After that
date he is unable to help them as the
law prescribes what course shall be taken
Treasurer Schmidt has a big force of
clerks i'm the Office, and the people can be
handled quickly and with no unnecessary
waits. The fact that the Barrett law as
sessments are due two weeks before the
first installment of taxes has led to some
confusion but every effort has been made
to notify the taxpayers of the change.
The first instalfaent OF taxes win become
due the first Monday in May, and as in
the case of the Barrett law assessments.
those who become delinquent Will be sub
iect 10 am additional penalty. 1T will be
necessary to avoid crewding in the last few
days that the taxpayers take advantage Of
the present time and settle their taxes.
They can be taken care of now without any
delay.
