with the Real Estate List that woul,
also be published. If there are in
equalities in the assessment let then
be corrected. The burden of taxation
should rest upon all shoulders alike
proportioned to each citizens abilit,
and duty to pay. No right-mindet
person can kick at so reasonable /,
proposition, and therefore the REGIS
TER will keep up the publication of the
list from year to year, so long as the
public interest demands it.

Alta special meeting of the City Council
held Tuesday evening Baldwin Bros
submitted a proposition to furnish the
city with twenty thirty-two candle
power incandescent lights for 500 a
month. The matter was referred to a
committee that will report at the next
meeting of the couucil-the second
Monday in March. In the event the
proposition is accepted and a contract
made on the terms therein proposed,
it will be necessary to double the pres
ent rate of taxation for city purposes-
the rate now is twenty-five cents on
the hundred dollars valuation; it will
require rate of fifty cents on the
hundred dollars valuation to secure
sufficient money to pay for the lights.
John White, prisoner in the coun-
ty Jail, while working on the streets
Monday afternoon succeeded in giving
good his escape. White didn't have a
start of more than hundred yards,
but headed for the western limits of
the town and got away. White had
served but two weeks of three months
sentence imposed on him by Justice
Fairchlld for stealing $50 out of the
money drawer in the Middlebrook
depot.
Later-White's home is in St. Fran
co.'s county. The Marshal went over
there the following morning, found
White, and brought him back to Jail
where he will likely stay until his
term expires.

The site, etc. The first payment was
made on the land. Judge Clay re-
turned home, but Messrs. Allen and |

The fair hostess had provided a pro-
,ramme whose features were novel
Ind entertaining, and rendered the
occasion a most delightful one in every

icious-a departure being the bouil-

md its pleasures will long be cherished

present: Mesdames Mckinley, Cleve-

Since the districts finances are such
condition as to afford it without undue
burden upon the taxpayers, the REG
sTER would like to have the school
,oard order the present walks leading
o the building replaced by brick ap-
,roaches. These latter would be more
and, if properly con-
tructed, in the end cost less than
itner plank or gravel. The work,
Material included, could be done at a
ost not to exceed one hundred dollars.
\ new fence on the alley ought also,
perhaps. be constructed, but the cost
would not exceed fifty dollars, so that
he entire outlay for these improve
nents would require an expenditure of
lot over one hundred and fifty dollars.
This the district can now well afford.
The cost of running the schools this ;
ear will be about $2500, including an {
of 1856 for repairs. paint
ng and furnishing, so that for the ,
oming year, with the estimate of the
uggested improvements included, the (
utlay will probably be two hundred
ollars less-about $4,000. Against :
his S2300 there will be in the treasury ,
t the close of this school year over
2000, leaving but nominal sum, If ,
ny, to be raised by taxation during
he year. A levy of twenty cents on ,
he hundred dollars will be more than !
mple. Let the fence he built and the
rick walks constructed!
