was proved and It is said to be as ac-

this world to be. There has been an
increase of $3.69 in the aggregate due
10 unavoidable opera lions with frac-
tons. Captain ParlIzr, assisted all the
time by one person. has been engag ed
on the roll for a little more than two
months. He took the contract for
$500, and he says that now in the light
of his recent experience he wouldn't
look at another job of this kind for
less than S6Go. There are always sew
eraI bidders for the duplicate tax roll,
but it is a curious fact that when d
man has once had anything to do with
it that he never tries to get it the Sec
oud time.
