was exceedingly pleasant for the
public in general, but it.had tend
ency to stop the business of dry

Last Thursday was the last day
for tax payers in sprinkling dis
trict No. 10 pay in their assess
ments to the city treasurer. Only
a small per cent. of the property
owners availed themselves of the
opportunity, and the warrant has
since been passed up to the county
auditor to be added to the 1900 tax,
which becomes delinquent on June
1st OF next year. The assessments
; were very small, as compared with
the amounts that have heretofore
been paid for sprinkling by private
subscriptions, except on corner
property. The owners of the latter
are complaining some over the
amounts. In some cases property
owners are called upon to pay their
share of the tax.
