GARDENERS Gala Week.

This is the great week of the year for
our sister city of Gardiner. The 5Oth
anniversary of the incorporation of the
city is to be appropriately celebrated,
and an elaborate carnival fair has been
arranged by the energetic and progress
sive board of trade. Only good
weather is needed to make the occasion
an unqualified success. The plans
were well made and every detail has
been carefully looked after by the
committee in charge. The city is
garbed in bunting and flags; dstin-
guished guests will be present; there
will be an extensive parade, grand
concerts, and many features to enter
tain the thousands who will fill the
beautiful old city during the week.
The celebration and carnival will not
only give pleasure to those who par
ticipate but they will be Of lasting
benefit to the city, and it deserves
much credit for it's enterprise in the
undertaking. Local pride is strong in
Gardiner and the city has much to be
proud Of Its history is full of noble
names and interesting events: its oras-
ent is prosperous and happy: its future
is bright with promise. Gardiner is fine
city. of the best New England type,
and Maine was never 50 proud of K as
it is this week. Augusta extends cor
dial congratulations and best wishes.

If vacant land, or land that has old
diSused buildings thereon in the heart
of a city would be taxed according to
the tax put upon other property. the
owners would soon think ii to their
advantage to make good use of the
pay the tax. thus improving the city
all the time. Take for instance, the
property on the corner Of Elm and
Front streets, which lay idle for a
number of years, had the tax on it
been larger it would have been built
upon before the present building had
been moved on it.-Bath Enterprise.
There does not seem to be any equit-
able reason why such property should
not be assessed at what it is actually
worth. and as the enterprise OF others
builds about it and renders ii more
valuable it should he assessed accord
ingly. No man. however should be
punished because. for reasons best
known to himself. he does not choose to
improve a piece Of property. The duty
of an assessor ends when he has put a
full, fair cash value proportionate with
other values in the community upon n
piece of property-and he would be un-
mindful of the obligations Of his office
We're he governed by any other motive
than desire TO deal justly and fairly

the fact that although Mr.. Bean kept
