the UNION believes the necessary steps
should be taken at once. Under the
law governing such changes passed by
the last legislature all that is neces-
sary is to secure the signatures of two
thirds the legal voters Of any town of
1000 inhabitants or more and as soon
as this, petition is secured and pre-
sented to the Judge of probate court
for. the county, he issues an order, de-
claring the town city and the thing
is done. Such a change in Princeton
would give the council greater powers
in all matters, especially in things re-
lating to the regulation Of the streets
and sidewalks, but this is not ALL With
a city comes municipal court which
has jurisdiction in all cases arising in
the county in which the amounts in
volved do not exceed $500. The estab-
lishment of such court would be of
great benefit, not only to Princeton
but to the county as we'll, and would
lessen the expenses of all suits. It
would also cut down the expense of the
district court, as fully one-half of the
cases which are now tried involve less
than $500. Let the business men take
up this matter and the result is GER

A Correction.

There were a couple of distressing
errors in the article of forfeited tax
sales published last week which
married the sense of the article, in fact
obscured the meaning in two instances.
In the sentences THE tax-evaders are
usually people of means; they let tn cir
taxes run until complaisant legisla-
ture provides for cleanup sale with
the expectation that they can get off
by paying the State taxes or little
more. There is really little inducement
for an individual to pay his taxes
promptly the words italicized were
omitted. In another sentence was an
omission which the italicized words
will show: ''the forfeited tax law
of 1881 and the forfeited tar lao of 1899
are not similar in their provisions. -
With these words omitted there was
little sense left, but with this correc-
tion we hope our readers will catch
what the article intended TO convey.
