1t is quite a remarkable fact that
the townshipof Vail should have the
longest list Of personal property
taxpayers of any town in Redwood
county, according to the returns
just made to the county auditor by
the assessors. The town has about
12O personal property taxpayers on
the list. Of the number about Is
per cent are business men and 9th
ers Of Wabasso, who, through the
town not being a separate assess
ment district, are assessed along
with the personal property tax
payers of Vail. Brookville town
ship and Charlestown follow the
Vail list very closely in length
Neal J. Nelson of Nelson Bros.
Sidewalk Co. of Minneapolis, ar
rived here last Thursday, and has
since commenced putting IN cement
sidewalks in front of residence and
business property. Mr.. Nelson is
the gentleman who put in the .ce-
ment sidewalks here last year, which
have given SO general satisfaction
to-aA who were fortunate enough to
put them in at that time. He will
put in swalksrin front of residence
and business property at the same
rate given last year, notwithstand-
ing the fact that material has ad-
vanced. Those desiring a durable
walk should call on Mr.. Nelson and
place their orders at once, as he
will be in the city with his crew of
workmen for only a limited time.
